“IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO HAVE RUSS ON THE HIGH PERFORMANCE TOUR. HE SEAMLESSLY BLENDED INTO THE TEAM, TAKING FIRST CLASS PHOTOS DOCUMENTING THE EVENTS. RUSS WAS QUICK, EFFICIENT AND A JOY TO WORK WITH DOING PORTRAIT PHOTOS AND THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES”

“RUSS WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY! HE IS EXTREMELY TALENTED AND MANAGED THE SHOOT FROM SOURCING SHOOT LOCATION ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO RETOUCHING. ALL ASPECTS OF OUR PROJECT TOGETHER WERE EASY AND RUSS WAS A CONTINUOUS WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND GUIDANCE, WITH EVERYTHING BEING DELIVERED WELL WITHIN OUR TIMINGS AND TO AN EXTREMELY HIGH STANDARD. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT WE WORK ON TOGETHER NEXT!”

“WE’VE WORKED WITH RUSS ACROSS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS NOW, AND HE IS EXCEPTIONAL AT WORKING WITH THE PRODUCTION TEAM TO GET THE RIGHT SHOTS. IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH RUSS, AND THE IMAGES WE RECEIVE BACK ARE BANG ON BRIEF, AND USUALLY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS. I’VE BEEN PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH HOW EASY HE IS TO WORK WITH ON SET. SOMETIMES THE BRIEFS FROM US AREN’T THE BEST, BUT RUSS IS ABLE TO USE HIS INSTINCT AS A PRO AND GET ON WITH THE JOB AT HAND, DELIVERING GREAT SHOTS EVERY TIME. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BOOKING HIM AGAIN FOR THE NEXT SHOOT!”

“AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO HAVE RUSS INVOLVED IN A TIER-1 INFLUENCER EVENT, COMING INTO THE PROJECT WITH LITTLE TIME TO PREPARE HE ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTOOD THE BRIEF OF THE CONTENT WE’D LIKE TO DELIVER. BEING ABLE TO LEAVE RUSS TO DO HIS THING AND CAPTURE THE IMAGERY ON THE DAY MADE MY JOB VERY EASY. HE WORKED EXCEPTIONALLY WITH OUR TALENT, INCLUDING THOSE WITH A LANGUAGE BARRIER, TO ENSURE EVERYONE WAS HAPPY. IMAGERY WAS DELIVERED PROMPTLY. LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER AGAIN ON A SIMILAR PROJECT SOON.”

“RUSS WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. GIVEN WE PROVIDED HIM WITH LESS THAN A WEEK'S NOTICE FOR THE SHOOT, HE SOURCED A VENUE FOR US, AND ENSURED EVERYTHING RAN AS SMOOTHLY AS IF IT HAD BEEN PLANNED MONTHS IN ADVANCE. HE'S A NATURAL AROUND PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES WHO ARE MORE USED TO BEING ON THE PITCH THAN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, ENSURING THEY FELT COMPLETELY AT EASE, AND PRODUCING SOME INCREDIBLE SHOTS FOR BOTH WEB AND MARKETING PURPOSES. HIS COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN SUPERB THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, ENSURING WE KNEW EVERYTHING IN ADVANCE, AND THAT ALL DEADLINES WERE MET, AND IN A NUMBER OF CASES EXCEEDED. WE'VE BEEN SO PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS WE HAVE ALREADY BOOKED HIM FOR OUR NEXT SHOOT”

“WE RECENTLY WORKED WITH RUSS ON A SHOOT FEATURING A NUMBER OF FOOTBALLERS - WITH ONLY A MATTER OF DAYS TO TURN EVERYTHING AROUND, RUSS WAS ON HAND TO ENSURE THE JOB WAS COMPLETED TO THE HIGHEST OF STANDARDS. HIS CALM AND COMPOSED NATURE ENSURED EVERYONE WAS TOTALLY AT EASE, WHICH RESULTED IN A FIRST-CLASS END PRODUCT. ADDITIONALLY, HIS TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE WAS SECOND TO NONE, USING A RANGE OF CAMERAS AND LENSES TO PROVIDE US AND THE PLAYERS WITH A BEAUTIFUL CATALOGUE OF IMAGES THAT EVERYONE IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED WITH”

“RUSS APPROACHED IN DIVINE TIMING AS WE WERE LOOKING FOR A SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER WITH A LIFESTYLE EDGE. AFTER HAVING A CASUAL CHAT AND LOOKING THROUGH HIS PORTFOLIO WE DECIDED TO WORK WITH HIM. WE’VE WORKED WITH RUSS A FEW TIMES NOW AND HAVE UPCOMING SHOOTS BOOKED TOO. HE’S A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND SUPER PROFESSIONAL. WE ALSO FELT COMFORTABLE LETTING HIM TAKE LEAD ON THE SHOOT. THANKS, RUSS, FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK”

“I’VE WORKED WITH RUSS A COUPLE OF TIMES NOW, AND THAT’S BECAUSE HE IS SIMPLY A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER. YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET SOMETHING PRETTY SPECIAL AND I REALLY ENJOY THE ANTICIPATION OF WHAT’S GOING TO COME IN TO MY INBOX. STUNNING IMAGES IS THE RESULT. RUSS GOES THE EXTRA MILE, WHETHER THAT’S SHOOTING ON FILM AS WELL AS DIGITAL OR CAPTURING SHOTS YOU’D NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF. RUSS HAS A GREAT EYE FOR AN IMAGE AND THAT’S WHAT MAKES HIS PHOTOGRAPHS UNIQUE, HE IS A STORYTELLER AND THAT’S WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT HIS WORK”

“I’VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH RUSS ON A FEW PROJECTS THAT REQUIRED A LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE TO TRANSLATE OUR NEW BRAND INTO A POWERFUL VISUAL STORY. RUSS WAS PROFESSIONAL, CREATIVE, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY VERY PERSONABLE AND WORKED GREAT WITH OUR MEDIA TEAM. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING WE REGARD HIM AS A ‘GO TO’ PRACTITIONER WHEN WE NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT”

“WE HAVE WORKED WITH RUSS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NOW, EACH TIME HE HAS PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY WE HAVE. HE HAS AN EXCELLENT EYE FOR DETAIL AND ADOPTS A MEASURED APPROACH TO CAPTURING EACH INTERIOR AND OUR STAIRCASES IN THE BEST LIGHT. CONSIDERING INTERIORS AREN'T HIS USUAL WORK, WE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY IMPRESSED WITH HIS ABILITY TO ADAPT. WE ALSO GOT THE PLEASURE OF HAVING SOME PORTRAITS PHOTOS TAKEN, WHICH IS WHERE WE SAW RUSS' NATURAL TALENTS. CLEARLY THIS IS WHAT HE EXCELLS AT, MAKING US FEEL COMFORTABLE AND DIRECTED US IN A VARIOUS WAYS WHICH GOT US LAUGHING AND PROVIDED SOME OUTSTANDING WORK. WE WILL BE USING RUSS FOR YEARS TO COME”
