A little feedback from the rig
(June 2022 - Julie Santos - Pole Tricks & Aerial) Wonderful experience with a fantastic photographer. I was super anxious when I arrived but Bob was so friendly and welcoming. His passion for photography really came across in the stunning photos he captured, I loved the different angles and creativity within the shoot. Bob was so helpful throughout the shoot and especially at the end when I was choosing my final images, explaining how he would crop and edit the photos to help me select the ones I wanted. I even got yummy cake and drinks, which was a bonus!
Thank you again for my wonderful images, I love them all.
(July 2022 - Anna Simpson) I've just come back from my recent photoshoot with Bob from Lightstories, the whole experience was fantastic! I was greeted with tea and his wife's home-made cake on arrival which was delicious! Then was made to feel at total ease throughout. It was a challenging shoot with the worst weather he'd experienced but it didn't phase him! He was professional and adapted easily to the changing weather conditions. We sat down and looked through the images after which looked amazing, I can't wait for the edits!
(July 2022 - Suzy Pegler) Bob is one of the best. I always look forward to my shoots with Bob, he is so professional and has such a good eye for shots and angles. He is also very welcoming and immediately puts you at ease if you have any nerves.
Can’t recommend shooting with him enough!
(Summer 2022 - Olga Plocienniczak) An outdoor photo shoot was a birthday treat to myself and I was not disappointed! Bob is fantastic to work with. We felt incredibly welcomed and accommodated – we were greeted with delicious refreshments, talked through what we would like out of the day, and then cracked on with Bob working tirelessly to capture all the poses of our choice. He has a fantastic eye for dramatic lighting – the raw photos were already amazing, and then Bob patiently worked through all our editing requests, adding helpful suggestions of his own. I am truly delighted with the result!
(Summer 2022 - Abbi Edwards) We had a lovely day in the sunshine with our picnic at the rig. Bob is a skilled photographer who knows how to take advantage of the constantly changing natural light allowing us to relax and concentrate on getting our poses right. The photos have turned out beautifully and it's great to have something different to the normal studio based aerial photos. Plus the cake was amazing!
(Summer 2022 - Bianca De Sanctis) Working with Bob was a total pleasure and my whole group loves the results. First of all, there was great communication leading up to the shoot. Then the actual day was fun - Bob has a great eye for angles, he worked tirelessly, his outdoor space is beautiful and his wife even made us two kinds of cake and homemade lemonade. We felt so cared for! The edits came within days and Bob fulfilled even our weird editing requests perfectly. We're all so happy with the experience and would highly recommend to anyone.
(May 2022 - Robyn Churchill) I just absolutely loved my photoshoot with Bob, he and his lovely wife welcomed us with tea and cake on arrival and made us feel so welcome. Their was a shepherds hut ready for us to get changed in and the location was just stunning. I love all of my images and cannot wait to bring my students down to have a shoot also, fun day all round thanks again Xxxxx
(May 2022 - Elle-May Wilson) We had the most incredible time shooting with Bob on Tuesday. The outdoor shoot from start to finish ran so smoothly. Definitely my favourite shoot to date. The grounds are stunning, every safety precaution is thought of and the Shepard’s hut made getting changed so easy. It was a wonderful experience and you definitely need to get booked in if you haven’t already. The images we have received are so natural and beautiful, the lighting and angles are perfect. Thank you so much Bob!
(Summer 2021 - Jen Stones) I loved my shoot with lightstories. Bob gives an abundance of care and attention to his clients and endeavours to meet their personal expectations. I was so happy with the final photos with the lovely and unique backdrop.
(Summer 2021 - Naomi Scott) I have been lucky enough to shoot with Bob on several occasions. Not only are the images he produces absolutely top quality but the experience as a whole is utterly fantastic.We were treated to delicious fresh cakes and a selection of beverages but we were made to feel welcomed and safe.The setting is beautiful and Bob is well equipped to really get the most out of it. Everything down to the paperwork is fabulous, I particularly appreciate having the load bearing information for the rigging available and knowing the exact safety perimeters.The review process on site at the studio gives an extra fun editing to the shoot and Bob always gets the final edits back swiftly.I would highly recommend shooting with LightStories, in the studio or in the orchard
(Summer 2021 - Nicky Pearson - Cirque Du Soleil) I had the pleasure of shooting aerial hoop with Bob on his outdoor rig - the weather was unpredictable and the light kept changing but Bob handled it like an absolute pro and the shots came out stunningly beautiful. He has an eye for aerial movement and captured each position from the perfect angle. Before leaving, I was able to go through the photos and select my favourites - so far it’s been less than 12 hours since the shoot and he’s already sent back a couple of edits! He also provided a lovely studio space to change in, along with safety documentation for the rig. The overall experience was professional, relaxed and fun. I definitely recommend Bob and his service.
(Summer 2021 - Georgina Watson) Too often are we rushed through back to back photoshoots and stressful time limiting sessions but Lightstories provides a relaxing and calm atmosphere to allow greater opportunity for the best photos. Working with the elements on an outdoor rig is hard work so my advice would be to chose moves that you are happy to hold for at least 20 seconds and I promise you that the shots will turn out worthwhile.
(Summer 2021 - Emily Mulholland) It was such a lovely experience from start to finish shooting with Bob. He was so welcoming and warm and the studio and outdoor location was stunning. Bob was super kind and respectful throughout and I felt totally at ease and comfortable. I'm so so happy with the photos we got and I would 100% be excited to work with him again in the future.
(Summer 2021 - Abbi Harris) I had the absolute pleasure of working with Bob on aerial silks using the outdoor rig. Super friendly and also helpful with directions to the cottage, supplied coffee and tea. He went the extra mile to think about outdoor shoots by making sure the ground was clear as well as giving us a document that explained the load testing of the rig etc. Incredibly professional individual who is able to have a laugh, putting you at ease every step of the way. Excellent eye for the human body, lighting and attention to detail and this is shown through by the final result in our images! Thanks so much Bob, would definitely love to shoot again sometime.
(Summer 2021 - Pam Mcghee - K Pole Dance and Fitness) Absolutely loved my shoot with lightstories U.K. on aerial silks in Upton using the outdoor 5m purpose built rig. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and offered refreshments and given the time to get ourselves ready for our shoot. Bob was friendly, professional and answered all questions regarding both the rig and the shoot itself. Which made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. Our images are stunning! And different! It’s so nice to be able to safely have a shoot on aerial equipment in a beautiful outdoors location. We will definitely be booking again next year!
(Summer 2021 - Elli Stephanie) I have worked with Bob in a variety of settings and have been taken back by the shots from each and every one. I think this is largely due to Bob's radiant personality, every shoot is super good fun, he has me feeling confident and beautiful and captures that so perfectly. Bob is great for providing feedback throughout the shoot to ensure the shots are captured to their fullest potential (which are always returned in a timely manner!).
Bob's frame stands in his own garden, an absolutely gorgeous setting for shoots, appropriate for whatever props you can provide ! With the height for impressive silks shapes or the option for low aerial hoop shots floating above the buttercups, I couldn't have designed a more perfect backdrop.
(Summer 2021 - Jemma King) I recently got the chance to shoot with Bob on his one of a kind aerial performance rig and it was one of my favourite shoots to date! This was my first time working with Bob and from the start he was incredibly welcoming, friendly and professional. I was given all the safety info for the rig beforehand and found it completely safe and secure, and the surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful, a perfect setting! The whole shoot was a delight and I'm beyond happy with the results, I would recommend this opportunity to anyone!
(Spring 2021 - Orly Phillips) Another great photoshoot experience. Really professional and friendly, great location, good changing facilities. The rig feels really secure and stable, setting up was straightforward and felt really safe and there's plenty of height for vertical disciplines (silks, corde lisse, straps, swing pole) which is ideal.
(Spring 2021 - Peri Le Riche) I had the honour to be the first aerialist to shoot on Bobs new fantastic outdoor performance rig/frame. The outdoor space Bob has is incredibly beautiful and the rig was totally professional and secure. He also provided me with all the safety information for me to look over before hand. Working with Bob was such a delight. I felt so comfortable and confident during our time working together, I had so much fun! The photos Bob produced were utterly beautiful! I would be very happy to work with Bob again. I highly recommend this unique opportunity to anyone out there who would love some beautiful outdoor photos!
