I was recently stopped on a hack by a photograoher who used to work for Michael Jackson, Robert Pattinson and many other actors. He wanted to take pictures of my horse as he thought he was gourgeous.

He's asked me if I know of anybody else who would be interested in a photoshoot with their horse or pony?

His fees are reasonable and the pictures I got from my shoot are lovely, I would post on here if I knew how to add a picture :p

If anybody is interested please reply on here and I will give you his number.

His website is: http://mattjohn.co.uk/
 
Sorry - but I thought the website was not that smart for someone who claims to have worked with such celebrities. However if you're happy with what you've got then fine. Where are his testimonials on his site from this people!
 
it might just be me but that sounds abit dodgy to me. to be stopped on a hack?? especially with the amount of horse theft around at the mo and just general weird peoples. do you mind me asking how old you are?
 
He wasn't a photographer for these celebrities he was their like PA or something like that, photgraphy has been a hobby which he is now developing into a career. You shouldn't judge him on his website, I just thought people may want to have fun like I did and now people are asking for my horse in their photoshoots from his work as he is well in touch. I've also been asked to stunt for people as they need horseriders etc in films.
 
Sounds a bit dodgy to me as well. Especially when you look at his website, some of the pictures are quite sleazy. As long as you got some good pics and he didn't charge you the earth what does it matter.:D
 
maybe he is good, but I must admit that I would be wary of anything like that. Perhaps I shouldn't be so cynical, but I would rather be careful!
 
Well that was my first thoughts of him but it turns out 1. he's gay so no worries there :p and 2. He doesn't know anything about horses so I highly doubt he is a horse thief. I actually got paid for it as it was for his portfolio and website.

If anyone does want some pictures he isn't like that and is a good photographer just thought some people would enjoy it.
 
I thought the website was a bit weird actually, sorry! Pictures are pretty sleazy.

How old are you, OP? I'd be very wary if I was you, all sounds a bit creepy.

I also wouldn't let some random guy take photos of me out hacking (not that anyone would want to, since I currently have holes in my jods, wouldn't have any make up on and would horse would be lucky to have been groomed! ;) ).
 
Have you tried googling his name to see if anything interesting comes up. I'm sorry I'm so cycnical but I wouldn 't believe his story. Some of the models are not exactly "high end" either! Miaow
 
What a shame, my computer can't cope with all that flash so couldn't see - but hey how exciting! If you want to do stunts on my unusual spotted horse feel free - right up his street!!! :D

Disclaimer: Spotty horses are not unusual, but a bay roan spotted is fairly :)

p.s. I'm not far from Glos!! ;););)
 
If someone told me how to put pics on the forum I could show some of the ones I got from his shoot.

I did think he was creepy for stopping me like that but he's not at all but if you do hear of anyone who wants a photoshoot tell them to get in touch as I didn't start this for people to tell me hes creepy I started it so people coud have some really nice pictures of their horses.
 
Looked at his website and it seems to be pictures of scantily clad females....

Sorry OP...I would be steering clear in future.
 
it says content not found, get a photobucket acount, its free, upload them to there then copy the img code into here, there is a step by step guide in picture gallery
 
Thanks for the advice guys, I have no intention in seeing this guy again so if his a creep it doesn't matter.

I still can't get pictures on here, thats coming from someone whos going to work in IT :p

If anybody does have he chance to have a photoshoot its really good fun and you can get some nice pictures so I would highly recommend it :)
 
OP I would like to see the pics, your facebook link isn't working. To upload photos on here you need a photobucket account which is a pain. Upload the pics to photobucket and paste the IMG code below it into your post.
 
I couldn't get onto his site, it just kept jamming up my computer. Would be interested to see the pics if you can get them on here. Unfortunately I am not near enough but if he wants to travel to Herts I'd be happy to pose for free photos with my ned, probably wouldn't want me scantily dressed at my age though! :D :D
 
 
really??? i do photography and theres no way on this planet i would be stopping people on hacks and asking them if i can do some pics!!!
 
I'm really sorry to say this but I honestly think it's a sleazy guy who has used your horse as an excuse to take pictures of a teenage (I think?) girl. They aren't pictures of your horse, they are pictures of you, in provocative poses on some of them. Your horse just happens to be in some of them.

I'm glad you like the photos but I don't personally see there is anything especially artistic about any of them.

Sorry if that upsets you as I don't mean to but if I was your parents, I would be very concerned about this.
 
Personally I don't see that any of them are provocative, when he was their both my parents and my boyfriend were there and nearly every livery at the yard, he was also gay (I met his partner) I know the pics aren't amazing but I had fun doing them and thats the only reason I did them. All I'm saying is if anybody is ever offered the chance to have a photoshoot with their horse go for it because it is very fun!
