CHANTELLE DIGBY

“I began working with John mid 2019 about a year into my own modelling journey, which began as a personal journey to increase my self-confidence and evolved into an wonderful creative outlet that allowed me to support my family for a few years. John has become an important part of my personal journey as well as my professional journey.

When we met I was fairly new, I was increasing in confidence but I wasn’t “confident”, I was recovering from an eating disorder and had been in multiple dv relationships. I was trying to find myself and my place.

My time with John has been incredibly valuable, during our shoots he has given me a safe space to trial new things, new poses, perfect old things and the room to grow. Shoot time is always relaxed with friendly banter to ease the vulnerability of the model, models modesty is always protected and there’s always the opportunity for learning.

I feel that myself and John have developed a great professional rapport, which allows us to discuss shoot styles, costume and clothing as well as location and inspiration beforehand. John is open to and understands any creative concepts I may have, and we work together to create the desired result.
John and I have shot multiple styles together, and each time he has allowed me to explore them whilst giving me guidance, as well as giving me additional education on posing and safety.

Without John, my journey would not have been the same, the growth that has been allowed and encouraged is unexplainable, and the opportunities to be creative are limitless.”
