Kind words from my clients
Real feedback from couples, graduates and families I have worked with.
Calvin was amazing throughout our engagement shoots in Paris and the Dolomites! My partner was quite shy in front of the camera, but Calvin made us feel so comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. He put so much effort into researching the locations, planning the routes, finding the best spots for photos, and even asking for permission to access some unique locations to make our photos extra special. We could really feel how much care and thought he put into every detail, and it made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. We’re so happy to have had him capture these special memories for us, and we’re already looking forward to working with him again for our engagement shoot in the UK! 🤍

Calvin was the best photographer we could have chosen for our wedding day, he was professional and fun at the same time.
Calvin was always taking in our ideas and requests and making them work perfectly, all while making everyone laugh and enjoy the shooting process.
Me and my husband are from Brazil and a lot of our family that were there did not speak English, and Calvin was able to break down those language barriers with such ease through his communication and photography skills.
I am so happy we chose Calvin to capture our special day, the photos he took encapsulate all the joy and love on the day.

It is amazing to have Calvin as our pre-wedding photographer in Manchester. Calvin gave us excellent suggestions, from locations of shooting to composition of photo. He also did very well in handling the whole shooting day schedule.
I will always recommend Calvin to be your photographer for pre-wedding and any other events.
Andy Leung and Yanmei, Prewedding in Manchester
Calvin is one of my favourite photographers to work with. He’s always professional, inspired, and incredibly detail-oriented, bringing the most creative visions to life.
Every project feels like a completely different story, and the results are truly worthy of filling the pages of the biggest international magazines.
If you’re looking for more than just a photoshoot, but a truly unique experience, Calvin is the person to work with.
Angelina, Events in London
I’m so grateful to Calvin for the incredible photos we created together, they truly are works of art. I especially love vintage style photography and concept shoots, and Calvin completely understood the vision. His deep knowledge of lighting and composition brought the exact vintage concepts we had in mind to life.
He’s also incredibly easy to work with and genuinely passionate about getting the perfect shot. He dedicated a lot of time to nailing the lighting, and the results are honestly some of the best photos I’ve ever had taken. Highly recommend!
Joana, Qipao in Macau
I am a fashion designer and I have worked with over a hundred different photographers in my career. Calvin is the best I’ve ever come across. He is easy to work with and he finds a way in all lighting conditions, which can be very challenging for the less experienced photographers. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone looking for outstanding quality.
Marina Rose, House of White Rose
I’ve worked with Calvin on countless occasions, and he is the only one I trust with life’s most special and important moments. From shooting a magazine cover editorial to capturing my Master’s graduation from UCL with my family, and even our photography trips to Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. He always manages to find the best angle of me, bringing a profound sense of storytelling and a magical touch with lighting. He is truly irreplaceable.
So, it was only natural that I contacted him for my first time attending the Royal Ascot this summer. Once again, he exceeded expectations, capturing amazing photos not just for me, but for my guests and the event itself, highly elevating the entire experience.
Calvin is a meticulous planner, sharing references, pose ideas, and outfit inspiration days before the shoot. Regardless of the occasion, whether it’s a high-stakes magazine cover, a graduation, or a travel shoot, he approaches it with the utmost seriousness and 100/100 professionalism. He has a way of lightening the room, making everyone feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which allows us to show our best selves. He always makes me look and feel my best. He is truly the best of the best, and I am so grateful to have him capture so many important moments of my life. With many more to come!

Calvin is not just a photographer to us. He’s a storyteller who has traveled with us through our major life chapters! From Hong Kong and Japan to the UK, he’s been there to capture it all.
Calvin is so natural and easygoing, which really helps the whole family relax and just enjoy the moment. My son is always so comfortable around him too.
The photos always turn out incredibly natural and full of life. We can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot!
Vera, Family and portraits
Boris and I had such a wonderful experience shooting with Calvin! He’s incredibly professional, fun to work with, and always open to creative ideas. We were blown away by how quickly he delivered the photos and how beautifully they turned out. Despite the chilly weather, Calvin made the entire experience feel warm, relaxed, and full of laughter. We couldn’t be happier with the memories he captured!
Clara, Prewedding in London
For anyone who’s had the pleasure of working with Calvin, they know he’s not just a photographer. Most people take photos. Calvin captures moments. From the start, he created a space that felt less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with someone who genuinely wanted to see you at your best. With the ability to incorporate and adapt to different styles, he constantly brings a fresh perspective and new ideas into his work.
Jordan Tse, Kimono in Tokyo
We met Calvin in Cannes, I needed a photographer during Cannes Festival and he was able to do a wonderful job with my daughter’s pictures.
Calvin was very kind, approachable and very patient. He suggested different locations where the pictures can stand out with different backgrounds.
And with a short amount of time our pictures were ready! We were impressed with the way he captured the lighting and the candid emotions of my daughter.
The entire session was fun, relaxing and well guided.
We were so happy to meet Calvin, he is a wonderful photographer!📸
