Stas is an incredibly talented photographer with a keen eye for detail. He is a master of gel color lighting, and knows how to use it to create stunning images. Stas is a joy to work with, and he always manages to capture his subjects from their best angles. He is professional, kind, and great fun to be around. I highly recommend Stas for any photography project. Thank you Stas and I hope to see you again soon x

It felt like far too long since our last shoot but Stas just picks up where he left off and absolutely delivers every time!!

Wonderful shoot, wonderful ideas and spectacular execution is guaranteed every single time we shoot!! Star never ceases to amaze me, fast becoming an UNREAL photographer and artist and as always I am eagerly awaiting our next instalment of brilliant creative imagery!!

Could not speak any more highly of the man behind the lens either, just a lovely, funny and brilliant person.

Do not miss out on working with this EPIC creator,

Daniella xx

Absolutely LOVE shooting with Stas!!!

We always have such a laugh on set, but when it comes to it this guy really knows his stuff and is such a talent!! Every time we shoot together I notice how much time he has put into advancing his skill set and every time he delivers!!

A theme we had been planning for a long time finally came into being and I just cannot wait to see the results. Technically, he's a magician!! He knows exactly what he likes and what he would like to achieve and nails it every time!!

Phenomenal photographer, and someone I am truly lucky to call a friend!!

Thank you for another wildly creative shoot Stas!!

We found a fricking Tank!!!

An epic adventure with an epic photographer who was crazy enough to accompany me on my trip to Glasgow!! Stas is someone who never seems to run out of ideas, has the talent to back up his passion for the art and someone who is constantly thinking out of the box!!

I imagine he may still be de frosting after our impromptu visit to a Tank in the middle of no where!! But what dedication!! Cold, wet and freezing were clearly not good enough reasons for him to not want to shoot there!! I honestly cannot wait to see the amazing work Stas constantly produces!!

Stas is someone who I would truly consider a friend, a barrel of laughs, a genius behind the camera and an all round amazing human!! So much in the pipeline for us to look forward to!!

Couldn't sing this mans praises any louder!! A true gentleman!! An incredible photographer and an absolute pleasure to be around!!

Thank you for an epic adventure Stas!!!!

I can't tell how much I love working with Stas!! We have just had our second shoot together at Saracen House studio and it really was just amazing!!! Not only is he a great person with a mind full of crazy, creative ideas but he really knows how to execute them in a way to deliver the very best photos!!! We arranged a 6 hour shoot this time which was still was not enough time!! It feels like 10 minutes.... so we have already booked our 3rd shoot in 2 weeks time and this time we are shooting for two days!!! I am so exited!!! What an amazing photographer and an even more amazing person!! Thank you so much Stas and I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to go by!! See you on the road.... :) xx

I have shot with Stas on several occasions now and have really enjoyed seeing him develop in confidence with photography. He has come such a long way since my first shoot with him at a duo studio day a couple of years a go. It’s so great to work with someone so down-to-earth, friendly and chilled.

Since this reference for this shoot, I have also shot with him again for another duo shoot with Anna Chum. Both shoots were absolutely fantastic and we produced some incredible results!! I love shooting gels because it’s so rare for me and Stas is an absolute master at them.

He always comes with yummy snacks and Coke Zero which is such an added bonus. Our shoots just seem to fly by! I’m always so gutted when time is up because we get into such a good flow.

I love Stas’ enthusiasm and creativity and find him to be so incredibly easy to work with.

I would highly recommend him to all models!

If you haven’t shot with him yet - you must!!

I really hope we cross paths for a shoot again soon.

Another brilliant shoot with Stas! He showed up on time with some nice snacks and drinks for me and my chaperone. Very friendly as always and professional. We got amazing results! Can't wait to shoot again with him. Highly recommended.

I honestly do not know where to begin with this reference.... JUST FANTASTIC!!! This was my first shoot with Stas and it really was amazing start to finish!! He was so welcoming and very ease to work with!! We had a great laugh throughout the course of the day and both chucked in plenty ideas for different poses and angles. He is an incredible photographer and really does know what he is doing with lighting which resulted in some killer shots!! I could have spent 12 hours shooting with him and it would have felt like two minutes. Once this shoot came to an end, we realised that It just wasn't enough time to do everything that we wanted too so we have already organised another shoot in a few weeks time and I am so super excited for it!! Such a wonderful person and photographer! Highly recommend from me!! Thank you for such an amazing shoot!! x

Stanislav has been a regular at the studio this year and has always been a pleasure to deal with.

Completely trustworthy to the extent that im happy for him to use the studio in my absence.

What a lovely shoot with Stas! He picked an awesome studio for us to work in and had a clear idea of the style we were shooting. Very friendly and easy going - bonus he brought snacks too! I was so happy looking at the shots on back of camera, he certainly knows his stuff! A really enjoyable shoot, I’d certainly love to work with him again! Thanks so much!

Fantastic shoot. Great comms ahead of shoot about location, styles and makeup required. Very professional set up on the day, good understanding of using gels. Very good attention to detail and yet very chilled to deal with. Images sent over quickly and they are brilliant. I very much hope to shoot with Aperture.Works again. Highly recommend

Had my first shoot with Stas yesterday and I can't say enough good things about him. I was already looking forward to the shoot because I'm very much a fan of his photography style, but Stas is a lovely person too and was very attentive throughout the shoot. Definitely would not hesitate to work with him again, highly recommend!

I’m so pleased I got to work with Stas again! I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot - working on new ideas and experimenting with different setups. I can’t wait to see the results! As always, Stas was the perfect gentleman, well organised, creative, and utterly professional. Highly recommend.

Had a great shoot together at Saracen House :) I felt comfortable throughout and had good communication. We got through a good selection of looks and tried a couple of lighting styles that looked great on the back of the camera, so looking forward to seeing the final results. 100% Recommend :)
