I have been lucky enough to have Colin shoot some of my most amazing photoshoots over the years.
Meeting Colin in 2018 through a friend at a beach shoot, I was instantly comfortable and confident to work with him.
Not only trusting Colin over the last 7 years to shoot amazing swimsuit and sports modelling photos, his eye for detail and creativity bought him into my family to do my maternity and new born photoshoot in 2021, followed by my vow renewal in 2023. Our most recent shoot for my 40th in October 2024 proved to be our best yet.
I wouldn’t trust anyone else capture these special moments for me and my family.
I highly recommend Colin and his craftmanship to create beautiful memories for everyone.

My first photoshoot as an actor/model was with Colin and whoa I was stunned by the results as I could never imagine I could look that beautiful or produce such emotive photos. As a first time model i took exactly 5 minutes to get comfortable in my own skin and be my absolute self on camera.
I discovered a new side to myself!!
He is truly a genius of an artist and definitely a massive asset to the industry.

Colin is not only a phenomenal photographer, but i also consider him a cherished friend. I have shot with him numerous times over the past 2 years.
His work is always both beautiful and expressive, as an actress/model i am continually blown away by his ability to capture emotion. Although not surprised as it reflects the time and care he puts into each shoot allowing for a myriad of poses and expressions to be explored. Working with him is always a delight.
We have been able to get shots together that i wouldn’t have felt as comfortable posing for with other photographers. His outstanding professionalism and lovely demeanour will no doubt put you at ease. The results you walk away with will have you wanting to shoot with him again and again.
Thank you Colin for all your wonderful collaborations over the years. I always look forward to when we work together again.

From the beginning Colin has always been professional. I have worked with him from his beginning stages of photographing models and still work with him today. We have done multiple photo shoots together and will always continue to work on projects together.
If you are a beginner model, Colin Bates is someone you can definitely start your career with.
