Why I don't share their name: this isn't a directory listing, it's a personal referral. I put my own name and reputation behind every session — 2,000+ clients, 4.9/5 on Trustpilot. All bookings and pre-booking questions go through me, so you can book with confidence — and since this isn't a platform, if anything gets lost in translation between you two, I can always step in to help.
How I vet my partners
I go through their portfolio myself to make sure their style actually matches mine.
Years of professional, paid experience shooting international clients — not a hobbyist.
Before we ever partner up, we talk and get to know each other properly — I'm looking for someone I'd trust with my own family's photoshoot, not just someone who can use a camera.
