  Sergio of AMCK ModelsSergio was absolutely brilliant in this collaboration for his first model test shoot with AMCK Models. We met in Hoxton and worked our way to Shoreditch Park. He brought so many outfits and came prepared with ideas in mind that the shoot flowed effortlessly. By far one of my favourite shoots I've done, as we worked very well together and he was a beautiful person inside and out.
• Joseph of AMCK ModelsJoseph had his first photoshoot with me. He was a natural in front of the camera and took direction well. We went to the Regent's Canal by Broadway Market and managed to catch the sun before it set.
• Tayo of Crumb AgencyTayo arrived and was a pleasure to photgraph from the get-go. He wasn't afraid to show emotion and we wandered throughout Shoreditch and Spitalfields to capture the sun at a dramatic angle. I think working with a stylist would've elevated this shoot to another level.
• George of Crumb AgencyGeorge joined me in Hoxton and we made our way to Shoreditch, following the light. He was super flexible and open to direction. We played around with different lighting techniques and I styled him in various outfits.
