Hey Ian,
What a pleasure it was to work with you last Saturday . As a professional photographer, you have hit a 10/10 for everything. You made the shoot extremely comfortable, relaxed, plus you made sure we were both happy with any poses etc before carrying onto the next one.
I was amazed with the preparation and ideas you had gathered before the shoot itself too! This was a fantastic shooting experience for me and the photos look amazing so thank you very much x

It was an absolute joy to work with Ian last Sunday . Ian has a great vision and knows how to use the location to its full advantage and is very very clever with lighting. Ian is very bubbly and easy to get along with, he is full of ideas and is perceptive to the teams' suggestions too, that helped to deliver some great shots. Ian shot a lot in a quite a short period of time. Overall an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend Ian highly and would definitely work with him in the future. ++++ Ksenia Samina MM I.D 1044901

I had my first shoot with Ian this past weekend and his professionalism and creativity made him a true pleasure to work with. He came up with some fantastic concepts and was able to direct and set up a shot with confidence and style. He enabled me to relax with his great humour and had the rare quality of asking for and appreciating creative input from everyone on the day. I look forward to working with Ian again! Juliet Thorne MM I.D. 1160050
I worked with Ian for the first time last Sunday and I had a brilliant time. The shoot was very relaxed and fun and yet very professional. I was given the opportunity to create my own looks with the model ( Juliet Thorne) and the time to put the looks together. We all worked as a team with Ian leading us. A very creative day. I would work with Ian again.
Ian the pictures look great, thank you. Vanessa Pendergrest MUA MM I.D. 102118
It was a pleasure working with Ian both because of his cheerful personality (which kept us smiling even through the rain and bad weather!) and also because of his professionalism and fantastic direction to the model (he has a real creative eye for poses). Ian was also incredibly patient and allowed me time to re-apply lipstick and powder where needed. I really hope to have the opportunity to work with him again. Eve. MUA Eve Ashby MM I.D. 1334794
Ian it was an absolute pleasure to work with you yesterday, he is very professional, but still so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable. He gives you good advice and stood out in the pouring rain without moaning once. It was him who made the shoot a pleasure to be there and I am honoured I had to opportunity to work with him xx Thank you x Charlotte Russo MM I.D.1262245
Hi Ian, Thanks so much for the shoot today! You made me feel totally at ease in front of the camera. Your directions were really helpful but you also gave me the freedom to be creative. Keston was a lovely place to shoot and the photos will add a new dimension to my book. I can't wait to see them. Now I need to pick the best ones... which will be the hardest part of our shoot! Thanks again,
Camille.

Working with Ian Howard was a great privilege, not only will you get a professional photo shoot full of motivation and energy but you will also be ecstatic at the quality of service that he has to offer.
Ian is very creative, full of inspiration and ideas and most of all fun to work with. If you want to be treated like a lady / gentlemen, kindly directed, to express and be heard then Ian is your man!
Of course, there is a perk to his service which is you will also receive your images of your shoot by the end of play!
I highly recommend Ian if you’re looking for that “wow factor” to add to your books.
Nadine
Hope to work with you again soon

M.P.P.S. PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS I HAVE ATTENDED.....
4th September 2008, I attended a Photographic seminar in Central London with guest speaker and Notable Commercial Photographer Brian Griffin (www.briangriffin.co.uk). While there he shared images going back over more than 30 years. This is a successful world class Photographer who definitely thinks outside the box. His thoughts on the use of lighting props and how he creates his masterpieces meant that this was definitely one of the highlights in my Photography journey.
2nd October 2008, I attended a Photoshop seminar in Central London with guest speaker and freelance graphic artist Steve Caplin who specialises in Satirical PhotoMontages, and is also the author of How to cheat in Photoshop.(www.stevecaplin.com). Steve shared some of his amazing skills and techniques in photoshop to produce some very impressive and to the eye realistic Montages. He is definately an Adobe Software genius and for me it has just strengthened my enthusiasm even more to practice and improve my editing skills using this amazing software. When you see what the software is really capable of when demonstrated by a master like Steve, the time and effort put in learning the techniques is worth every minute. I recommend anybody who gets the opportunity to see Mr Caplin in action do so as you will be introduced to a world that knows no boundaries. Another step in my Photographic journey that will last a long time.
8th December 2009 I attended a seminar in London by Underwater Photographer Maria Munn, who specialises in capturing amazing Sea and Fresh water images using Compact digital cameras. I was astounded at the quality of images and vibrancy of the colours that could be recorded using a simple compact Camera. Maria set up and runs Ocean Visions (www.oceanvisions.co.uk/) a few years ago who specialise in teaching Divers and Photographers how to capture underwater images using Compact cameras. The seminar was a fantastic introduction to underwater Photography and being an ex Scuba diver and keen Photographer has got my creative juices flowing to an extent that I want to strap on a tank, grab my camera housing and explore another side of Photography. This seminar was another highlight in my Photographic journey.
On the 5th February 2009 I attended a London seminar with guest speaker renowned Photojournalist Simon Norfolk ( www.simonnorfolk.com/ ) A lot of Simon,s Photography is around War torn areas like Iraq and Afghanistan and to say his work is inspiring is an understatement and all though his subject matter sometimes will pull at certain heart strings he has a style of Photogaphy when covering War issues that makes you understand and take notice. He has also done a lot of work for National Geographic and his work on famous Temples around the world was inspiring to view. Add to that in person he is a down to earth person who from listening to him speak about his and other Artists/Photographers work is truly passionate about and thankful for what he does, this truly was another highlight on my Photographic journey.
5th March 2009 I had the pleasure of attending a Seminar given by renowned and sought after social Photographer Uzair Kharawala (www.sfdigital.co.uk) who specialises in natural lighting, and off camera flash, He is a multi award-winning Photographer recently being awarded UK Environmental Portraiture Photographer Award.
Seeing some of his images up on the screen was amazing but a bit hard to believe that he gets the results he does with his Wedding and Portrait images, using only natural lighting teamed with off camera flash when required, then he gave a live demonstration by shooting a Model in front of us and showing us the results. I Have seen some very talented and inspiring world renowned people from the Photographic world recently at London seminars, but Uzair has stirred up my creative juices even more so to get my hands dirty and try more OFF CAMERA flash, it was an honour and pleasure to be present at this Seminar and was another step on my Photographic journey that I will treasure forever.....
On the 2nd April 2009 I had the pleasure of being at a Seminar given by highly respected, Award winning and hugely talented Photo Journalist Simon Roberts ( www.simoncroberts.com ) He showed us images of his 1 year journey through Russia where he compiled an amazing array of Photos that went into creating his booked The Motherland. He had captured some fabulous shots of the People BuildingS and Spirit of this fascinating country, with his work he shows the true passion of the People, the spectacular Architecture of the buildings and the rich and vibrant colours of the Land. Simon truly has a passion for what he does and it really shows in his work. I highly recommend if you get a chance to attend one of his Seminar,s or view his exhibitions that you do so, as I feel like it has with me his work will leave a lasting and impressive inpression on your mind and inspire you to create something that will last a lifetime. Simon will definately leave his mark on the world of Photohgrapic Journalism.....
14th January 2010, I attended a seminar in Central London given by renowned Photographer Daniel Kennedy (www.danielkennedy.com/) who specialises in shooting Fashion, Travel and Celebrities. Not only was his work inspirational but also his narration was, his vision and insight made me realise that how I have been going about improving as a Photographer over these last 3 years was the right road to take.
Daniel has some impressive captures in his Portfolio Rachel Hunter, Jordan, Naomi Campbell, Max Clifford and Angelina Jolie, to name but a few. He also has an amazing eye for his 2 image Montages, whether it be Fashion, Travel or Celebrity subjects. I highly recommend viewing his work and more importantly if you get the chance to see one of his informative and visually stimulating Seminars grab the chance with both hands as you will leave the room inspired and feeling creative.
Daniel as they say made his bones working for a local Rag in Norwich some 16 years ago shooting local events, and has always seemed to have an eye for capturing a news worthy Image, he also where possible prefers to shoot natural lighting sources, as he states there is no better lighting to work with, and no 2 days are the same. It was a pleasure and an honour watching this Talented Photographers portfolio of many years work unfold before my very eyes, and if I get an opportunity to be inspired by one of his live talks again I surely will be at the front of the Queue.....
