“What could have been a total nightmare, shooting during the first week of the Olympics, turned into breeze with the support of The Rawson Partnership. Most important was the attention to detail on the adventure of putting all the elements of the shoot together and providing a great overview of all the best faces in London with John Rawson’s recommendations at the model casting.
Communication was very strong and the look and feel of the shoot was established easily as John has a very strong sense of fashion & style with a fantastic eye and gets beautiful looks very quickly”.
Tim Hartley, British Hairdresser of the Year Nominee
"We have worked with John on a number of projects and collaborations, the most recent being the HJ shoot called Fashion Circus. John’s influence and direction made the shoot the success it has become and raised the profiles of all those involved.
Following the huge success of Fashion Circus we have tasked John to photograph our new collection working with our very own Racoon Artistic Team which is due out in early 2012. The input of John and his team have proved invaluable at all stages of the project whether it be location selection, model casting, clothes stylist and makeup artist.
The Rawson Partnership truly offers the complete package!"
Stephen Messias, Creative Director, Racoon International
"I was really impressed with the expertise and skill John brought to our shoot it enabled us to focus on the job in hand with full creative freedom."

We have worked with John & "The Dream Team" for three years now, being nominated for Midland's Hairdresser of the Year 2010, 2011 & 2012. Our collections have been widely used in the press, resulting in three front covers. John's artistic eye & straight talking approach have helped turn our visions into reality & it is evident in how our collections have grown year on year.
As an impatient perfectionist, it is a delight to work with such a patient perfectionist!

"Endorsements often sound a bit flakey, but this is one I can set about with gusto!
I've worked with John for the past 7 years......through major manufacturers, session-savvy hairdressers and shoots with those who are just starting out on the photographic journey. The stand-out that John has is that whoever he works with feel on top of the world when they leave that shoot and secure in the knowledge that they have produced shots that have delivered on their objectives. John's experience, unsurpassed photographic skills and fantastic post-production are all great reasons to work with him and the team"

My name is Stuart Nicholson and I am the director of The Burlesque Hair Company, we have to make a lot of decisions constantly in order to shape the business in the direction we want to grow, like developing an art team for instance, but I think one of the best decisions we have made recently regarding our business was choosing The Rawson Partnership to look after our recent photo shoot.
Working with John Rawson was hugely inspiring and helped us achieve some amazing results. From the first contact, dealing with Gaynor and right through to placing the images amongst the various publications, the whole experience has been phenomenal. Like John mentioned during our shoot - "We just don't do failure"
He's right![/i]
