About me
U.K. and Internationally published Fashion Beauty and Glamour freelance Photographer both within Magazines and Newspapers (see credits below) I have also been awarded on numerous occasions for my work by fellow Model Mayhem members in the Concept Shot/Image of the day contest. I am based in Kent but I am mobile and am available throughout the UK for commissioned work.
I am mainly self taught in Photography and I am competent shooting both in Studio or outdoors on location, and I also offer a Professional Home Studio set-up service.
I have been fortunate enough to have collaborated with some very talented Photographers, MUA,s, Stylists and Models over the years and I believe this is the best way for me to improve and grow as a Photographer, and I am also a former member of the M.P.P.S. Photographic society (see credits below) plus I just love taking pictures.
I keep my Photo shoots relaxed and want them to be informative and highly productive for all concerned.
Security and safety are paramount and I have been C.R.B. (Criminal Records Bureau) vetted and I am also more than happy for Chaperones to attend Photo shoots with my Clients/Models. Leading up to the shoot I want everyone involved in the pre-planning and during the shoot itself, I never forget that my Clients//Models are the most important element of the shoot, without them you would not achieve an end product.
I feel this approach to Photography has enabled me to strengthen my work and hone my skills to create strong and visually stimulating work some of which has been Published. As a passionate and creative Photographer I love to capture natural physical beauty, but I also strive to capture the inner beauty and personality of every Model/Client I Photograph.

Hi Ian,
I really enjoyed working with you yesterday - it was great to work with someone who actually was more than willing to give me some close-ups of my work and let me direct those shots which many photographers do not do - being a Hair Stylist and MUA a body fashion shot alone will not allow anyone to see my work (other photographers take note!) also to get the CD on the actual day of the shoot was a bonus!
Loved the shots obviously!
I Look foward to working with you again. Lisa Robson MUA http://www.modelmayhem.com/886779 Good planning and communication is important! Don't let yourself down! Like any business.....
if you conduct yourself professionally future work will come your way.....

This comment is to thank Ian for such a great shoot yesterday (20/03/2011).
As a young model every shoot is still a little daunting to me, especially when the photographer has a portfolio like Ian,s.
I needn't of worried at all. Ian arrived with his full team, extremely friendly, they all knew exactly what they were doing. The set up time was so smooth.
He spent time with me telling me how the shoot would run and listened to any ideas I had and incorporated them into our shoot.
He not only treated me like a princess, he gave time to the MUA's and Stylist.
The atmosphere was electric everybody was so excited and happy. The 5 hours flew by and Ian directed his team with such enthusiasm.
It is obvious this guy lives and breathes his photography and he gets the results he truly deserves.
I am really looking foward to working with you again.

As usual, working with Ian last Tuesday ( 12/04/2011 ) was a pleasure and a breeze! He makes everyone instantly at ease, is impossible not to get along with and has fun with his work. A master at organising these shoots, Ian is never short of creativity and new ideas, which makes working with him something to look forward to every time. Kamara Harding Model http://www.modelmayhem.com/881793 
Shot with Ian last Sunday (16/01/2011) with a whole team. It was great working with him, he's very experienced with shoots and had all the proper lighting equipment to go with it. No messing about, this guy brings all his gear! He's 100% committed in helping models get the shots they need and want and I highly recommend working with him. He communicates extremely well and is very approachable for ideas and concepts. Just great to work with! Thanks again for a great shoot!

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.(http://www.focalpress.com/Content.aspx?id=1496). 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 (http://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 ( http://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 recommoend 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 (http://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..... BELOW ARE REFERENCES AND FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS AND MODEL MAYHEM CREATIVES I HAVE COLLABORATED WITH OVER THE YEARS.......
**********************************************************
Thank you for the wonderful words! My head is about to explode with all the great things you've said haha. Anyway, I had a great time as usual at our shoot on Sunday (05/09/2010). Models - Ian has the uncanny ability to make you feel completely at ease and comfortable experimenting and expressing yourself without feeling self-conscious or silly. He gives great direction and suggestions, but also ensures that the model speaks up about any preferences or ideas. Ian puts insane amounts of dedication into every shoot and always manages to take care of every last detail so that things go smoothly! Thank you again Ian for Sunday, looking forward to our next collab. Kamara Harding Model http://www.modelmayhem.com/881793 Thank you for the wonderful shoot today Ian. It was so much fun and I cant think of a better way to spend my Saturday. In addition thank you for the very detailed tag. I really really do appreciate it!
I really recommend Ian. He is a very organised photographer who plans the day very well so that the Model/MUA/Wardrobe Stylist etc... can get the most out of the shoot as possible. He is also very friendly, easy to work with and respects the model as well as listens to what she wants to get out of the shoot. His photography skills were exceptional and every shot was well constructed and thought through.
Most importantly I went home knowing I had learnt something new which I could bring to future shoots and everyone had fun. I am really looking forward to seeing our work .
Thank you again Ian. I cannot wait to work with you again after the Summer!
Best Wishes,
Liza.
Liza Shaskova Model http://www.modelmayhem.com/1511046 After my 2nd collaboration with Ian yesterday (01/05/2010) I still have no hesitations in recommending him to anyone needing a photographer.

Working with him is a pleasure and he clearly loves what he does - thanks again for yesterday, looking forward to seeing the photos and will work with you again soon,

Gigi21 http://www.modelmayhem.com/1405405 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 http://www.modelmayhem.com/1044901 Hi Ian,
Was marvellous working with you today . I had so much fun and the pictures are fantastic. I really love the shots you captured. You're a true talent. Can't wait to collaborate again...
It was a great team effort and thank you again for helping and assisting me in portraying Queen Elizabeth I so beautifully and elegantly.
Ian Howard is absolutely one of the best photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His work speaks for itself.
Shem's
Be in touch http://www.modelmayhem.com/1239404 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 http://www.modelmayhem.com/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 http://www.modelmayhem.com/1302118 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 http://www.modelmayhem.com/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 http://www.modelmayhem.com/1262245 Hi Ian,
