Punctual and reliable - showed up and on time. **I must mention here, I suffer with mental health and sadly Chris and had been trying to get the shoot going since December, but I had a tough time, most togs would not be so understanding or accommodating, all with friendly professional contact, to reschedule as many times as we had to, due to having a dip of Christmas with my mental health and I just want to say thank you again Chris, it's really touching, and you're a very patient and understanding, kind man... Right so, initial hello and I made coffee, while he setup - which was quick and effortless... He immediately pulled out a back drop and took my images I had requested from the shoot first, mainly a 'leaning on arms' photo that I am sending to an artist cousin South Africa to be sketched... There was a small selection of 10 or so which was just enough to vary between picking the best one... Thank you Chris for putting me first, more than once... We then proceeded to the 'painting' and it's a very interesting process - with blacked out light (setup was again quick with dark material over the curtains - he didn't struggle once and knew exactly what he was doing... In the dark the light is very interesting - and I love how he said about the texture of my hair that is caught that a convenational camera wouldn't pick up like he did with the 'painting' and it's true, it's rich in texture in the photos! Amazing results! Trying to remain still was challenging, but I have had harder poses... Very creative, bit witty, very kind, quick working - I mean so much came out I was amazed and half turning and it was all packed... he is definitely skilled in more areas than one Wink Ladies, treat him with the best you got because he certainly gives it...! Relatively fast turnaround of images, I am very pleased. PS (a true gentleman he even gave me a small tip which was very much appreciated!) Thank you Chris! Any time for you!
