From Adam:
Nige and I talked for the last five years or so about doing a shoot but timings… Covid… It just didn’t work out.
However February of this year it happened and looks like the first of many. We have lots of ideas and Nige has so much vision, so I’m chuffed that he wants to work with me again.
We clicked immediately and he put me at ease. We swapped a lot of ideas and expectations before we met as well, which is always a good idea. Things that we thought would happen happened and ideas crept up as we went along.
Nige is really easy to talk to especially if you’re not 100% sure how something will look or even if you’re unsure how you look…he’s full of tips to help you look your best and understanding what makes you tick.
I live and work in Bristol where I am a self-employed personal trainer and group exercise instructor… Which helps keep me in shape as well as doing my own training with a training partner (so valuable) to put the meat on the bone, so to speak.
After a really tough 2024…I started to turn it around before the end of the year – Nige as well as other photographers have helped rebuild my confidence in my look / image / enjoyment which helps me focus and build on the things that are most important to me.
From Nige:
Like Adam said, we’ve been talking on and off for years, trying to make something happen. Meeting up felt like meeting a good friend, there was no awkwardness, no silly small talk, just relaxed from the start and it made the whole shoot just flow naturally.
We had an absolute blast on the shoot, talking constantly, making slight adjustments to poses, lighting etc to get the best results.
Working with someone like Adam is inspiring, he’s so easy to direct and looks incredible. We’ve already got two other shoots booked in, and more will definitely follow.
