Model Portfolio Photography Reviews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly incredible experience I had a shoot today with John, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. From the moment we started, he brought such great energy — fun, relaxed, and genuinely uplifting. His direction throughout the session was full of praise and encouragement, and it made a massive difference. I felt confident, comfortable, and completely at ease in front of the camera. John has a real gift for making people feel amazing. Every shot felt like a boost of confidence and by the end of the session I walked away feeling like the best version of myself. If you’re looking for a photographer who not only captures beautiful images but also boosts your confidence and makes the whole experience enjoyable, John is the one. Highly recommend.

A fab & fun shoot with John in Manchester. For first portfolio photographs for modelling. I would recommend John to anyone starting out in their careers in modelling. To gain experience, knowledge, feedback, warmth & acceptance into the industry. Thanks for a great afternoon John .. Amy ..

We had a great time today at John's studio, he made us and our 8 month old son so welcome, our son instantly connected and relaxed with John. John is fantastic with children and takes their lead. He is knowledgeable and clearly has years of experience in the field, his passion shines through. We can not believe the range of beautiful photos he captured within a short period of time with our son.

We had a fantastic experience with John today. He immediately put Nathan at ease and made the whole photoshoot feel relaxed, enjoyable, and fun. John was full of helpful tips, interesting stories, and professional advice, which made the session both informative and entertaining. Nathan felt completely comfortable throughout, and the photoshoot flowed effortlessly. We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a talented photographer who knows exactly how to bring out the best in people.

Ah where to begin… John. The most wonderful man with the calmest nature and positive manner. He handled what could have been a stressful and nerve filled period of time with such care and warmth. I highly recommend him and his work. The photos he took of our 7 year old boy were stunning and he also provided really helpful tips on the ‘what next’. Wouldn’t hesitate on returning for more shoots. Thanks so much John

An absolute 5 star experience! My 7 yr old daughter had her second photo shoot today with John again. We don’t live in Manchester but after reading the raving reviews we decided it would be worth the travel. We were instantly put at ease with John’s warm character and professional manner. In the comfort of a nice, clean and toasty studio the photo shoot went swimmingly well. John’s directions were fun, scaffolded and clear for my daughter to follow. Everything was captured beautifully in the 120 images we received (plus a few cheeky family photos!). I would definitely recommend John and would happily travel back again. Thanks a million John xx

Our experience with John at Model Portfolio Photography was truly exceptional. From the initial contact to the completion of the session, he demonstrated professionalism and a friendly demeanor. This was my son Danté's first time doing this but John immediately made him feel at ease. John provided clear guidance, exhibited remarkable patience, and skillfully captured my son's best qualities. The entire session was conducted in a relaxed and well organised. I even got the opportunity to have a few pictures taken with Danté at the end also. It was nice to sit down afterwards and go through all of the pictures together. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and wholeheartedly recommend Model Portfolio Photography. Thank you John 🤗

We had such a wonderful experience with Model Portfolio Photography for our son Jidenna’s photoshoot! He was incredibly friendly, and made Jidenna feel comfortable and confident throughout. Even at just three years old, Jidenna was able to shine, and his personality really came through in every shot. The final photos are absolutely stunning, we’re so pleased and would highly recommend Model Portfolio Photography!
