I am a U.K. and Internationally published Fashion Beauty and Glamour freelance Photographer and my work has been featured within Magazines, Books, Online Fashion Magazines Websites and Newspapers around the World.

Ian creates an extremely comfortable yet professional atmosphere before, during and after a shoot ( 22 04 2018 ) The open and flexible way in which he works meant that I as a model had so much creative freedom with the looks I wanted to achieve and I felt as if I could ask for direction or help when needed and it would certainly be given! Communication before the shoot was so well organised that I felt very prepared when meeting for our shoot and communication during the shoot was amazing as well, Ian made myself and the other models feel like we'd all known each other for so long and this made you comfortable and confident in front of the camera immediately. I learnt a lot as a model from my shoot with Ian and I look forward to working with him again very soon! Highly recommended if you want a photographer with extensive knowledge of their craft yet with a fun, friendly personality too. Miss Lottie Lu Model MM I.D. https://www.modelmayhem.com/4278675



I had the most amazing shoot with Ian on 25/11/2017, he is a really passionate photographer and it shows in everything he does. From the very first message he was extremely kind and professional, putting my mind at ease straight away. We spoke on the phone several times before the shoot date to discuss everything in detail, he sent me mood boards so I could gather some inspiration, as well as allowing me to express myself and pose how I wanted on the day. He gives excellent direction before and during the shoot, a really great photographer. The images are just stunning, I am really looking forward to working with him again in the future. Model

Ian is a very talented Photographer, who has a genuine concern for all involved, and makes sure he captures the images we all individually want. He allows you to have total freedom when planning and during the shoot, so you can get exactly what you want for your Portfolio. Immediately he puts you in direct contact with your model to discuss/plan the shoot. Ian is extremely consistent in communication before and after shooting. Also, he not only caters for his own equipment, but for the needs of the MUA and Model eg; Portable fold up table and chairs, floor covers etc... After shooting, Ian is exceptionally quick at getting the final images to you considering we only did the shoot on 25/10/2017. I would definitely recommend Ian and I am looking forward to working with him again.  MM I.D. GraceMMUA  https://www.modelmayhem.com/4118251



Always really fun and exciting working with Ian Howard. Very active and professional at all times. Gets people involved so you have a better understanding about what he does and what he perceives through the lense which is really informative if you do not know much about photography. Very creative and open to new ideas whether this be style or location. Ian is very flexible with timing and is always punctual without fail.
I have Commissioned Ian on two projects and they have both been very enjoyable and has been so much fun we often lose track of time.
Ian has a genuine passion when it comes to photography and enjoys meeting new people and somehow always finds a common interest with individuals. A must have Photographer!!!

http://www.fashionstudiomagazine.com/2012/10/interviews.html



I have been working with Ian on two group photo shoots ( 01/11/2014 & 16/11/2014 ) and they were an impressive experience on both occasions. He's very organized, reliable, professional, full of energy and enthusiasm as a photographer. I really like his fashion photography style and all my models enjoyed working with him and complimented Ian's bubbly personality. Definitely would highly recommend working with this Photographer. Milda MUA MM I.D. https://www.modelmayhem.com/3399195



Ian can best be described as one of the more elite photographers I've had the honour of working with. ( 25/05/2014 ) A true professional, buzzing with creativity, passion and never ending ideas. Excellent communication, preparation and a meticulous eye for detail. We're already collaborating on a number of future projects and initiatives, with varying themes.

Thanks Ian Jasmine Tooley Model MM I.D. https://www.modelmayhem.com/3398283

MY PUBLISHED WORK TO DATE.....




I am a U.K. and Internationally published Photographer based on the S.E. London/Kent borders but I am mobile throughout the U.K. and Abroad for Commissioned shoots, with access to a selection of Studios throughout the Country.

I am competent shooting both in a Studio environment or outdoors on location, and I also offer a Professional Home Studio set-up service. I use Canon professional cameras and lenses and Adobe Photoshop editing software.

I have been fortunate enough to have collaborated with some very talented Photographers, Make Up Artists, Hair Stylists, Clothing Designers, Retouchers, Wardrobe 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. (Metropolitan Police Photographic Society )

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-shoot 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 images some of which have been published and received Model Mayhem Awards. 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.

Please feel free to contact me for a no obligation quotation and listing of the Photographic, Makeover and Hair styling services I can offer you.

I thank you for visiting my Model Mayhem Fashion and Beauty profile and I hope you will become a frequent visitor regards Ian Howard........

"Ian is such an amazing photographer. Right from the start Ian made me feel very relaxed. He called me to discuss outfits, plans etc and just listening to him shows the passion he has for photography. He gave me some advice and made me feel that I could do anything. The day of the photoshoot, Ian guided me and advised me of different poses I should do which helped me as I am a fairly new model. I felt my confident growing and felt very relaxed with him.

"I had the honour of shooting with Ian on Saturday the 14th of April 2018 at Beckham Park for a TPF fashion and beauty shoot. He was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, efficient, friendly and, most importantly, took lovely pictures of me and the other model Sara. He picked me up from the train station and provided the same lift back to the train station once we were done. He was proactive providing table and chairs for us to do our make up on and waterproff drapes for us to lay on the damp grass if necessary. He is a talented photographer who is always looking to get that absolute shot with outstanding effort which glows in hes images which I am very happy with. He insured that me and the other model were safe, relaxed and comfortable. Hes pre- shoot communications where detailed and to the point, he left no stone unturned. After the shoot the images arrived a day later all crisp and beautiful. I would totally recommend him to anyone looking to do a shoot as he delivers as is on the package. Thank you so much for your time and effort to create such lovely images for my portfolio. Im looking forward to our next project ‘TFP Lingerie in Bedford May 2018’." Read less

"It was great working with Ian. He provided me with all information I needed beforehand and on the day of the shoot as well. We went through the outfits and the poses together. He made me feel very comfortable and gave me directions, which were really helpful so that the photos don’t only feature different costumes but also different expressions. I was able to look at the pictures throughout the shoot and he made me decide whether I liked the poses and whether I felt that is what I was expecting. Also, he gave me all the pictures after the shoot for me to go through and select the ones I like best, which is amazing, as usually you have to wait quite a while to get the pics. Brilliant experience, can only recommend Ian! In fact, we worked so well together that we are planning on doing another shoot again soon :)" Read less

Credit Notes

Former member of the M.P.P.S. Metropolitan Police Photographic Society


4th September 2008, I attended a Photographic seminar in Central London with guest speaker and Notable Commercial Photographer BRIAN GRIFFIN 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. 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 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
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
  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
  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
  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.....
