After a long time of talking and throwing ideas around, I got to finally meet and work with Steve down at his studio.
Honestly, I'm really happy to have now met and worked with Steve as he really is a great and genuine guy.
At the studio I got some solo work done with Steve along with some duo work with Mel4nie which was a lot of fun, and the results speak form themselves.
I really look forward to working with Steve on the next project, it was defiantly worth the wait and planning!

Had a fantastic shoot with Steve yesterday! Fabulous as always! Always giving the best hospitality of tea and coffees. Always feel at ease shooting with Steve and he without a doubt gives me incredible images! Was so fun to work with him again yesterday while I was waiting for my booking at his studio. Had a great laugh and was over the moon with the images I have gone through. Cant wait to share more on my port! Highly recommend by me of course 😊😊 Thankyou for everything Steve! See you soon! You’re the best! X

I shoot with Steve often, to the point that if I left a reference for every shoot, his references would be plastered with my comments.
However, given that it was our final shoot of the year, I thought it would be fitting to leave one this time.
Steve and I have become good friends over the past three years we have shot so much together to the point that if either one of us suggests an idea, we instinctively trust each to see it through and 9/10 times we nail it.
If you haven't shot with Steve, then you should. Not only does he own one of the best studios on the South Coast, he's a bloody fantastic photographer and knows multiple lighting set ups. Coupled with the fact that his retouch work is second to none and he has embraced change and utilises AI technology in a sympathetic way to his editing work.
He has become a brilliant photography mentor as I step to the other side of the lens. Thankyou for all your help, advice and collaborative work this year
Guess, you'll have to put up with me some more in 2024.

I meet Steve today in his studio in Weymouth. He was pleasant to chat with and very helpful. Precoms were great and he put lots of effort to promote the event we organised together. He’s a true gentleman with professional attitude and good sense of humour :)
Thanks for carrying my suitcase down the stairs, really appreciate it ❤️

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve at his studio - precomms and ideas shared were incredible and they played out into some amazing images.
Steve was fun, knowledgeable and made the time fly by - even turned the heating up when I asked 😂
The images we captured blew me away and have been added to my portfolio…. One shoot of many for the future ❤️

Steve and I shot to today on an Easter themed shoot which has been in the planning for several months but more so to test out an idea for a future group shoot.
Without spilling the beans, we produced some images which were out of this world.
Steve and I shoot regularly and we never seem to run out of ideas.
Thanks once again for an awesome shoot and looking forward to developing more ideas with you
Highly recommended

Grabbed a quick 1 hour warm up shoot with Steve prior to a shoot at the studio with another photographer.
Did a typical boudoir session. Was nice to have this warm up as a precurser to my main shoot especially as it had been over a month sincei last stepped in front of the camera.
As always, managed to grab some great shots despite having a limited time to shoot.
Thanks Steve

I am very fortunate to have Steve as one of my photographers that I regularly work with.
Having spent the last few shoots doing more experimental based stuff, we decided to go back to basics and shoot what we are best known for portraiture and boudoir, but with a twist.
Got some absolute corkers of images, which is no surprise given we know each other's way of working so well.
Steve is a fantastic boudoir photographer so of you ever get the chance to work with him, please do!
Here's to 2023 - to more shoots and more epic images

Had the pleasure of doing a shoot with Steve a few weeks ago. What a really nice gent. Made me feel welcome and comfortable.
We had a great shoot and created lots of brilliant images . His studio was impressive and he is a very skilled photographer.
Thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and I look forward to working with him again soon
I will highly recommend him

My first shoot with Steve and I hope it’s not the last!!
What an awesome day!!
I met Steve when I held a studio day at Art Asylum Reloaded studio where he was the most amazing host, so I was super excited when he invited me back to shoot.
Steve is Ace! We had so much fun playing with light. Steve also taught me lots while we went along about camera settings. I am always very grateful to gain more knowledge about what goes on behind the camera, I learned so much, Steve is a great teacher too. As well as being an awesome photographer, he’s an awesome person! An absolute gentleman and a good laugh…. Great taste in music too!! The day was so good it literally flew before our eyes.
Looking at the boc I was so pleased with what we had captured together. Steve has already given me a few edits which I’m in love with. I can’t wait to see more.
Thank you so much Steve for a fantastic day!
Very highly recommended from me
Lou ☺️

I were delighted to have the opportunity to fit in a quick shoot with Steve at his studio in Weymouth. We covered boudoir and lingerie and used the fabulous natural light shining through. Steve as always, ensured I were comfortable and happy and we chatted throughout. With minimal effort Steve caught some super shots in the short time we had and I can't wait to work with him again for a longer duration. 100% recommended.

Had my first shoot with Steve at his studio, Art Asylum Reloaded, and what a great shoot it was!
Steve is welcoming, friendly, and offered me drinks throughout!
A genuinely nice chap, who you could talk to for hours!
Inbetween the nattering, we also managed to capture some beautiful shots!
He's brilliant at giving direction, and also allows you your own initiative! He's very encouraging, and has a real eye for the perfect shot!
I received all the unedited images that night, and Steve allowed me 15 edited images as well!
Won't be my last time working with Steve!

Continuing with our ever expanding quest to push each other creatively, this shoot was all about doing different stuff.
From dressing a corner of the studio differently, to setting up a aerial hoop shoot to shoot ethereal style to shooting in a wedding dress to taking a t shirt and ripping it to shreds. Plus playing with a new lighting set up.
This shoot was varied and had new challenges for us on both sides of the camera.
Got some stunning images.
As always, Highly recommended.
Our next shoot is ready planned with yet more ideas already on the table

I worked at Art Asylum studio in Weymouth during my "Bournemouth tour"
Steve did a great job advertising for me being at his studio, constantly sharing and making online posters etc which I really appreciated.
Steve's studio is very quirky - it has lot's of "hidden gem" areas which makes it easy to keep your shots looking unique! His dressing room is also full of shoes and clothes that's really useful if you want to change your look up (I had to borrow some shoes!)
Steve was a great host, very welcoming offering tea / coffee etc. He was helpful with the photographers lighting set up needs and then left us to our own devices to shoot when he was no longer needed.
I will definitely be looking to come back to the studio when I am down in that area again! Thanks :-)

Great to touch base with Steve again down at his studio, attend one of his studio days working with Stargirl.
As always was on hand to help and advice. Few changes since I last visited, now even more props, furniture and still just a great place to be able to shot!
Thanks Steve
Will return soon!

Steve and I shoot quite regularly- every couple of months which has allowed us develop a strong working relationship when we can push our creative boundaries.
This shoot was no different.
Steve is an excellent boudoir photographer. Every time we shoot, we seem to find a slightly new twist whether it be angles of shots or looks within the studio.
We also commit to doing one completely different set which is a little experimental on both parts. This time it was a Burlesque Artful Dodger type character in main lighting area.
Steve is great at listening to ideas and taking on board concepts and generally being able to play around with lighting set ups to see if it will enhance the shoot.
I've said it many times before- precoms are great and delivery of un-edited images are very prompt.
See ya again in a couple of months!

A change of plan for this day which was originally meant to be a duo shoot but the other model couldnt make it.
Did a mix of classical boudoir shoots along with some more cosplay type images which involved composite editing work.
This guy has been holding out on me!
His edits were fabtanstic!
Usual pre and post comms were great. I shoot with Steve quite often so we know what each other likes,and are able to push each other creatively.
We have a rather special project in the planning that utilises all of our skills collectively
Can't wait!

After a last minute cancelation with another photographer, Steve stepped on to fill his shoes.
Complete change of wardrobe packed in less than 14 hours as we had come up with an entirely different shoot concept.
Tried out a different way of working. Steve and I are confortable enough with each others capabilities to try out new concepts and ideas.
Managed to capture some great images as always.
See you next month as scheduled
Highly recommended.

I just had another lovely shoot with Steve at his studio and had another really exciting session. Steve is enthusiastic and has an eye for detail and really does catch the moment. His pre shoot communication is excellent but he still allows room for the shoot to be spontaneous and flow, which makes for a really enjoyable and rewarding day. He is highly recommended

I had another lovely shoot with Steve at his studio. We worked in video, which was something new to me and he was great in providing support and guidance as we discussed ideas for the shoot.
Steve has a good sense of humour and is very respectful of the model. It was a really enjoyable day and I am looking forward to seeing the results.
I would highly recommend Steve to any level of model.
