Worked with Steve yesterday. Prior to the shoot we had a very good chat about what we want from it. He voiced his opinions but was very open to hear my input on things. Great communication. Turned up on time, we had a great chat about everything, showed me around the place we were shooting and just made me feel super at ease. The shots turned out beautifully too!

Would highly reccomend and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) be working with Steve in the future 😊

I had the pleasure of working with Steve again on a recent studio day at my venue The Luxury Townhouse, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Steve is a complete professional who approaches his craft with passion and dedication. He is not only a talented photographer but also a respectful and accommodating individual who prioritises the models needs. Throughout the shoot, Steve's passion for photography shone through. He approached each shot with enthusiasm and creativity, consistently striving for excellence!

Can't wait to shoot again soon!

Steve is just an awesome guy!

Always absolute pleasure working with him all the way from pre-comms until seeing the finished images.

This time, we worked with HMUA Alona and I am so thankful he brought her to join us on the day - what we have created on the last shoot surely can't get any better? haha.

I know I've said this already, but Steve continues to be very receptive to feedback. He is improving his skills every time I work with him, and it is so refreshing. He doesn't just say he wants to learn - he talks the talk and runs the walk!

So pleased I got to work him a handful of times now. I will take as many opportunities as I can to work with him again and again.

Steve gets my highest recommendation.

Thank you!

I had an absolutely lovely shoot with Steve last week. Steve and I last worked together on his first ever shoot,since then it has been absolutely lovely to see how he had progressed so much in the past year. Steve is so brilliant to work with as he is so eager to learn and willing to try out new things,he is really pushing himself and working with great models in fabulous studios.

Steve was super relaxed and easy to work with,we had such a great evening. I really look forward to Steve’s exhibition coming up which will feature images of me too! I would definitely recommend shooting with Steve and I hope to again soon.

Second shoot with Steve yesterday, I enjoyed every minute of it! Steve is always a joy to work with and be around as well as very welcoming. Communication was on point as always and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. I had a specific request for my portfolio and Steve went above and beyond to achieve it!

All round a very professional, fantastic photographer and great guy! 100% recommend.

I got so painfully behind on my references from the tail end of 2023 into this year for many various reasons (my life being the main one!) but finally here I am with my cup of herbal tea catching up!! :)

I had my first shoot with Steve last month at SilkWood Studio.

Initially Steve saw my casting call- and sent me a message asking if I might happen to have any time free on the 25th January.

25th January (in 2022) is the day I lost my partner, Iain, so I hadn't intended to shoot that day at all, however, Steve's friendly and kind message made me feel like I was actually happy to work that day and I am very glad I did!

Steve was indeed super lovely to work with for the three hours I was there- we got some lovely images, worked together well and the time just flew by!

He was so sweet and kind that day knowing what day it was- some people might have just gone "oh forget it" in fear of it being awkward- which it wasn't- so I'm glad Steve didn't!

Hope to shoot with Steve again as I am back and forth from Yorkshire a bit more these days :)

Thank you Steve :)

Just so much fun :)

Pleased to have such a great first shoot with Steve! We came with lots of ideas and managed to fit them all in to our afternoon at Silkwood.

On set Steve is clear with dirction and also allows the model to move to her own rythem, making for stunning photographs guarenteed!

Due to do shoot 2 later this year we imagine and looking forward to gathering together more ideas.

Steve was fantastic and extremely polite throughout our shoot and for that anyone who gets the chance to shoot with him will thouroughly enjoy and get some great shots! :D

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve, and the experience was truly enjoyable.

Steve's direction was clear and effective, and I appreciated his ability to convey ideas while still allowing for creative expression. Working with him was a breeze, as he maintained a perfect balance between professionalism and a friendly demeanour. His patience and easygoing nature made the entire experience enjoyable.

Steve's keenness for the shoot location, my house, was palpable throughout the entire process. He showed genuine appreciation for the setting, and his enthusiasm added an extra layer of creativity to the session.

Highly recommend!!! xxxxx

Another amazing shoot complete with this truly wonderful man, you meet many people in this job and some will always have a lasting impact for many reasons and having the pleasure of meeting and working with Steve is most certainly one of those situations.

Our creativity aligns so well that every set we seem to do is fun, creative and beyond productive with exceptional results!

Steve went out of his way for me yesterday and stayed to let me use his second camera after I had not so fun battery problems, Steve did not have to do this nor did he have to be such a pleasure to just have around while shooting but he did and I will forever be grateful!

If you want exceptional photos, a fun and relaxed environment with lots of creativity flowing, Steve is your man - recommended a million times over for me!

Thankyou Steve, until next time!

Absolutely brilliant shooting today with Steve at the beautiful Silkwood Studio, pre-comms were great, detailed and prompt.

Steve collected me from Leeds as was easiest for me and drove to the studio together, he was forgiving of my mistake in the morning I managed to get on the wrong train delaying our start time. As it was my fault I did stay over the agreed time to make up, and it was worth it as I am very happy with what we have managed to create.

Steve is very imaginative and refreshing to work with as he has an eye for detail and creative it makes light work for me to have such confidence in the photographer to create beautiful images is very comforting as a model to have similar goals in true photography, not just aimless shooting - Steve has a vision and I am more than pleased with what we have managed to create together!

Would work with Steve everyday if I could, truly a credit to the industry as a photographer and a person he is lovely to get on with and very considerate to accommodate me as I do not drive so was very helpful! Looking forward to our next shoot very soon ☺️

Highly recommend if you get the chance to work with Steve you won't be disappointed, the time flies by and flows effortlessly.

Today we worked through lingerie, using masks for a concept upt art nude using shadows with the light to exentuate my slim physic in a subtle way, these things can easily be done wrong but Steve knows about light and how to really make the most of it to set the tone and give a moody affect to give a picture some substance to create a feel and tell a story to be suggestive without being vulgar is a fine line but I felt very comfortable in his ability to show me on a good light, literally, it's all about the light and shooting erotica is delicate and is an art and when done right really shows a photographer in their true colours wether they are in it for the picture or not - Steve is very talented and it is reflected in his work, a true credit to the craft!

Was truly a pleasure ☺️

I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Steve for a moment, it was a wonderful first shoot together and time went far too quick.

Steve is a polite and professional man, down to earth, talented and a genuinely easy going fun person to be around and work with.

Thankyou for a wonderful start to my visit and silkwood I can’t wait to shoot again! Highly recommended

So lovely to shoot with Steve for the first time! Well worth the trip up to Sheffield. Precomms were excellent, organising the shoot was so easy and I could tell just over messages that I would have a great time working with him. I genuinely cannot believe, with the standard of his work and creativity, how new he is to model photography. I'm excited to see how his photography journey progresses! He was fantastic to work with, polite and respectful, and we had a lovely chat while working together.

I would absolutely recommend him to any model, and would love to work with him again :)

So impressed.

Second 1-2-1 shoot with Steve. He doesn't just say he wants to learn and improve, he is taking all the feedback on board and oh my he has come a long way from our first shoot around 6 months ago already!

Totally enjoyed our shoot and love seeing the results that he is sending to me.

Go Steve!

Today was my first time shooting with Steve and it was a pleasure!

He is very easy to work with and his pre shoot comms were spot on, I knew exactly what outfits he wanted and what kind of sets he was going for. On the day we arrived with plenty of time and the shoot just flew by. It was at a relaxed pace but we still got a lot of stuff done!

I hope this isn't our last time working together and I would highly recommend working with him!

Can't wait to see the images!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve today, what a fantastic experience it was.

From the very start of Steve approaching me, he was polite, respectful and very transparent. I explained to Steve the type of images I wanted to achieve, he was very accommodating and was coming up with all sorts of good suggestions.

We organised a home shoot at my own home to shoot some portraits and then we headed off into the city to capture some night fashion shots. Steve arrived fully equipped and on time. He even stopped on his way to buy some material that I suggested for the shoot, how lovely.

Steve is a fantastic photographer who is passionate and puts 110% into what he does. He puts the model first and ensures his work is satisfactory. Steve is very kind, respectful and a pleasure to be around. I would definitely recommend Steve to any model out there, especially if you’re wanting those portrait shots!

Thank you Steve and I look forward to working with you again.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the first time during my West Yorkshire tour and from the initial message through to waving goodbye, he was polite, professional and very friendly. We got along really well and captured some amazing images from the offset.

His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out, well planned and then well executed. He arrived on time and after a brief chat we had a tour of the property and jumped straight into our first set. We covered a range of fashion through to lingerie and art nude in our time and each set was a winner. Steve might be relatively new to model photography but his work speaks for itself, it's truly stunning! The back of camera shots were ace and the edits I've seen so far are also lovely. It was a pleasure to work with him and I absolutely hope to do so in the future.

Thankyou for a fab shoot!

Highly recommended by me.
