Was wonderful working with Stu again after all these years :)

Time flew past but we managed a few different looks

The lighting was perfect for all of them

Studio was great, Stu had a nice little heater on for me and music playing which is always appreciated,

Thanks for a great catch up,

I had my first shoot today with Stuart and it was exactly as I expected, if not more - FANTASTIC!

I cannot be more happy and really looking forward to seeing how the final images will turn out 🙏💃

Aside from the fact that Stuart is a master at editing and retouching and has made it his art form 👌🏾; he is a reliable and respectable photographer, who will make any beginner or more advanced model feel at ease. Especially when shooting more intimate styles of modeling such as lingerie or art nude where mutual trust and respect are crucial in the relationship between the photographer and model.

I arrived 20 minutes prior to the shoot and he was already fully prepared and was more than happy to start shooting straight away!!

All who shoot with me know that I am professional, focused on my career in modelling, am a woman of principles and am confident in what I do/ how I present myself. Regardless of what the fake, spiteful "no show" comments may suggest on the reference section of my bio :)

It was great working with Stuart as he is specific in how he works, eloquent/ easy to understand in how he presents his ideas/ themes to the model and constantly gives feedback! Which I really appreciated!

His studio was well equipped with gorgeous natural light flowing in through the huge windows, lots of props, stools, excellent kit and set up and Stuart was nothing but professional, polite, accommodating and made me feel at ease from start to finish!

I literally felt like I was shooting for a high end magazine with Stuart because his style is quick, to the point and he is able to nail those perfect candid shots which catch the model in between movement and look oh so natural!

Very chatty, friendly and gives direction when necessary, yet allows the model to flow to her own natural rhythm as the shoot progresses on.

We literally nailed our first shoot together and got in every single set that we wanted to 👏 That rarely happens!

I would certainly recommend him to any model and it would be a pleasure to work with Stuart again in future!

Stuart is lovely and accommodating! Anyone that can put up with my incessant rabbiting is a winner in my book! But in all seriousness, I had a wonderful time on my shoot with Stuart. He was patient with me being a little rusty and lacking in confidence, and I’m excited to see the final images! I’d recommend Stuart to anyone for a fun, friendly shoot :)

Was definitely worth going to manchester for! I 100% recommend Stuart because he has everything you need for a model. He was also the quickest to send all unedited images in an accessible file on the day! The quality of the images was actually the best I have seen, it was flawless. The studio was nice, spacious and had brilliant extra rooms with unlimited props, outfits, etc. Great location for natural light.

He turned up at the gate when I arrived, he was very kind and polite. Made me feel very comfortable, gave me good advice, and being photographed by him was not only good fun but he had all the right and proper equipment to also really have a good look at the images for every interval when the shots were taken. He's really skilled and good at what he does because he's focused. He pays attention to how the image should be captured with the use of his equipment, switching them around, experimenting, giving me a sense of direction and the results were successful.

Really hope to get a chance to be photographed again.

On saturday I had a fantastic shoot with Stuart and the MUA Alice McDermott (not yet on PP). We did two very different looks and also took some video of each of them, which as we know is an increasingly important format for showing the world what we can do!

Stuart has everything you'd want in a fashion photographer - technical excellence, great studio equipment, really intelligent suggestions about styling, opennes to ideas, and the know-how to make them look fantastic on camera. He's also really friendly and chill and pleasant to spend time with.

A couple of points I really appreciated about Stuart's studio -

- Brilliantly located right next to Gorton railway station, making travel exceedingly easy.

- It's in a beautiful old school building that is now an artspace full of creative activity and inspiration. Should I work with Stuart again I'd love to explore some more of this place.

- He has an iPad set up so you can get immediate feedback on the composition and posing, this is INVALUABLE and something I'm going to try to fix up for myself in the future.

I'd absolutely recommend Stuart, and if he invited me back I'd say yes in an instant :)

Had a great shoot today. Stu was easy to work with and I loved the pictures off the back of camera. Stu promptly sent me the photos to look at after the shoot, it was hard to chose my favourites as I liked so many. There were lots of cool accessories/props at studio. I would definately work with Stu again and recommend him. Thankyou

Shot with Stuart last week, this guy is an amazing photographer knows exactly what works and is a magical wizard lol! The pics came out amazing off the camera he's amazing with his lighting angles etc and I can't wait to see what the edits look like as he is a awesome retoucher too as you can see from his work. Lovely guy, made me feel comfortable, sent me all the pics super fast, great communication..would shoot with him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended 👌

I met Stu today for a photoshoot in Warrington. Stu is very welcoming, professional and extremely knowledgeable. The studio has a great feel to it and is extremely clean.

I’m really impressed how quickly Stu got the images to me, I’m pleased with the outcome.

If anyone needs new photos, Stu is your man! Very highly recommend to any models out there.

Upon arrival Stuart came outside the studio to find me (as my satnav is awful) with a warm smile and asked if I wanted anything to drink. We discussed different looks and the plan for the day which flew by fluidly. The studio he’s built is a great space with fantastic equipment all set up ready to go.

Shooting with Stuart was very easy as he has a relaxed attitude making me feel incredibly comfortable. He is a true gentleman and an amazing photographer. I’m so happy with the results from the back of the camera with what we achieved together and I’m even more excited to see his final edits.

I‘d love to work with Stuart again so if you get the opportunity definitely do!

Had a shoot with stu today he gave clear details of his ideas, location and outfit preferences, great communication. I got lost on street of the location and he happily came out the building to wave me over to the right place. The shoot was amazing he had a variety of backdrops and was changing the lights, backgrounds and colour setting to best match my costumes to make the bet photos for me. We shot 3 costumes and got many photos all perfect without editing work. A fantastic shoot with a wonderful photographer.

I had a fantastic session today with this very talented photographer, It was my first headshot shoot and the results which he showed me on his tablet were truly brilliant.

I was warmly greeted with a welcome cuppa in the very well equipped Studio and after excellent pre-communications I was expecting a guy with a very professional approach and I was not disappointed.

I had a shoot mid December with Stu in own studio, the location is fab being very close to Warrington station and well equipped considering he has not had the space all that long, despite the outside freezing temperatures the studio was lovely and warm and stu himself is an easy going laid back guy which made for a relaxed shoot and most importantly his work is fantastic, thanks again Stu!
