Testimonials

We were absolutely delighted with our photo session with Ian. He is a real professional and made the whole experience very relaxed, natural and fun - as a result the end product was very special. Everything about the experience was customised to our requirements. No request was too much trouble and we did make some challenging requests! Thanks Ian, we'll be in touch for the next occasion!

I highly recommend Ian for model portfolio shoots and brand shoots. The results never cease to amaze me. Ian produces high quality images guaranteed to wow. I am a social media influencer so high quality images that stand out on Instagram are essential. The images taken by Ian receive the highest level of engagement and positive feedback and have thus boosted my profile views on social media. I really enjoy the creative shoots with Ian as he comes up with amazing ideas.

Ian Trayner is a master behind the camera, he knows what he wants and is very creative with his photography. He takes his time to focus on the the whole set up, from models positioning with lighting set where he wants it, to taking the shot. He is an all round gentleman who loves his job and making those who work with him, very comfortable and happy. I am for one most happy working with him. This guy deserves every merit owed to him 100%.

After learning my daughter had Autism Ian took the time to ask me the best way in which to talk to her and asked what was best for her. The photographs are truly breathtaking and still to this day remain one of our favourites. Ian is a pleasure to work with, polite and efficient and his photographs speak for themselves. We would highly recommend him.

We met Ian shortly after the birth and death of our infant son. Ian came to the hospital, in his role as a volunteer photographer for the charity “Remember My Baby”, to take pictures of us with Rowan. On the most difficult day of our lives, Ian was a generous, thoughtful and sensitive presence. A few weeks later, we commissioned him to photograph Rowan's funeral and burial. Ian's beautiful and very human images are an integral part of our family's story.

We shared it with both sets of parents and the response is pretty emphatic - they love the photos. Thanks again for your time and effort with these photos, they are truly amazing and captured everything we were looking for.

I worked with Ian Trayner to update my actor’s headshots and portraits. I have been photographed well over 100 times in my career, but Ian managed to capture me in a way that I have never been captured before. Ian is a great photographer with a calm and welcoming personality. He also doesn’t rush you on set, he lets you settle into character. I would recommend Circle of Life Photography. I love the black and white portraits, they are timeless!

Your service from start to finish has been exceptional. It's clear that you care an awful lot about your photography. This shows in your close attention to detail from the beginning and the quality of your products at the end of the line.

All of our publication and advertising images have been taken by Ian Trayner. I couldn't recommend Circle of Life Photography enough, whatever the occasion. Capture your moments the best way possible! Guaranteed great lighting effects on my pictures, didn't even need makeup! Always my number one to go to! Thank you so much for the great memories so far.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Trayner a few times on several photoshoots on themed photography events and also a private portfolio shoot. His work is great excellence as he understands the actor’s artistic expression and captures the moment magnificently. And once the editing is done, one can’t stop being in awe of such accomplishment! Timeless and precious!

My portfolio needed updating. I worked with Ian Trayner (Circle of Life Photography) to update my actor’s headshots and portraits (both colour and black and white). I have been photographed well over 100 times in my career, but Ian managed to capture me in a way that I have never been captured before. Ian is a great photographer with a calm and welcoming personality. He also doesn’t rush you on set, he lets you settle into character. I would recommend Circle of Life Photography.
