Chloe Anslow

I have had the absolute honor of working with Jason not long after he decided to venture into people photography and I'm so pleased to be a part of his growth and development over the years, Jason is a very talented photographer with an eye for detail, creativity, adventure and great food. I found a friend on my modelling journey through Jason and I'm so glad our creative venture brought us together. We have a blast and time is non existent when we work together - he's also done a shoot for me and my son, was there for my engagement and he will be shooting my wedding when it happens! Without a doubt I'd recommend Jason in a heartbeat and can only thank him for being the brilliant photographer that he is! - Chloe Anslow

  Having collaborated with Jason on many projects including brand photography, modelling portfolios and portraiture I can say that Jason is a consummate professional. He is possessed of a innately creative perspective and knows how to direct to illicit the best in his photographic subjects and the type of image that you are setting out to create. He is down to earth, friendly and efficient. Moreover he listens to your requirements to ensure that you receive the best images possible. I would whole heartedly recommend Jason for any photographic endeavour. - Helen Akay

Stephen Paul Young

  As a fellow photographer, I approached Jason Reading Photography with some trepidation, looking for someone who could capture images of me for my website. From the outset, Jason was professional and courteous, quickly putting me at ease with his relaxed and friendly approach. The entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. Jason's expertise truly shone through, and the final images are stunning – a significant improvement over my previous selfie attempts! I now have a beautiful set of photos that perfectly represent me and my work. Highly recommended! - Stephen Paul Young
