I had a thoroughly enjoyable studio shoot with Steve at Cove Studios. Pre-comms were great and I knew the ideas he had beforehand along with photos of the most incredible outfits he was going to bring along for me to wear. It was lovely to catch up with Steve as it had been 6 years since our last shoot! We managed to fit in several different looks in the time we had using different props and outfits and I was blown away by the photos on the back of his camera! Steve works at a relaxed yet productive pace with plenty of breaks for cups of tea and he even bought delicious fruit to nibble on. He is totally professional, respectful, polite, chatty and friendly and I highly recommend him to other models! Thanks again Steve :)

Had an awesome shoot back in May! Not only was he full of ideas to create a myriad of awesome shots but he knew exactly what to do to create them, throughout the shoot he was incredibly enthusiastic, easy to work with and made the shoot fly by. Do recommend working with them!

I had an incredible time shooting with Steve at my studio day in Rochester, kent - at studio 300!

I was blown away by Steves styling!! He brought along some cool and quirky items and had so many great ideas. I felt so relaxed and comfortable while shooting with Steve and we both combined our creative ideas to create some brilliant images.

The shoot was really enjoyable and flew by. I hope i get the chance to shoot with steve again!

Highly recommended by me :)

Very highly recommended of course !

Had a wonderful first shoot with Steve today ! Pre communication were professional and provided me with reference photographs and a plan of what we were going to shoot !

He very kindly picked me from the station and also dropped me back after we finished shooting !

Time simply flew by creating amazing photos ! we worked on art nude themes using different fabrics , skirts and other props !

Very highly recommended and hope to work together again soon :)

Second shoot with Steve and I’d been looking forward to it since our first one! Steve is definitely one of the best people I’ve ever worked with. He is such a lovely person and super easy to work with!

He is amazing at styling and planning the shoot, he is also excellent at giving direction and he thoroughly explains what he’s after.

I absolutely love shooting with him and I cannot recommend him enough :)

Had my first shoot with Steve and it was an absolute pleasure. Steve was very organised and professional prior to the shoot and he made sure I knew what style he was going for. He sorted everything out, from the studio to the clothing, I was very impressed!

On the day he was so friendly and easy to work with. We had a laugh and created some amazing images, some of my favourites ever! He gave good direction but also let me pose freely.

I can’t wait to work with Steve again! Highly recommend him :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Steve today after a long time not working together.

As usual, Steve is very easy to work with, respectful, and professional.

He's always very well organized and arrives at the studio he booked with a concept in mind and a big bag of props and outfits. Once again he made a great choice in terms of styling.

This shoot was for him the opportunity to test his new camera and he did very well, the pictures came out fantastic from the back of the camera.

I really appreciate Steve's creativity. He's a great guy, he's a great photographer and I'm really looking forward to working with him again.

Thank's again Steve for today, you were GREAT!

Ahh my beloved Steve :)

Anytime we shoot I get so excited leading up to it! Steve really puts the hours in to sourcing and piecing together the looks he wants from a shoot. Honestly, I can say hand on heart that I have not come across another photographer who does this, so I can't impress on to you enough the kind of pleasure you receive by working with an individual who dedicates himself in such a way. An absolute privilege is still an understatement.

Once again the outfits from this shoot were POPPING! and we got to shoot at the bloody awesome 'Loft Studios Rochester'. Damnnnn this place is great!! EVERYTHING you need and besides that fact you have the most genuine personable character 'Nicky' to accommodate you. (if you haven't shot there yet, you need to. Period)

I love it when Steve comes to me and explains the outfit and 1 idea and I'm like...yep! Got it! We've just always been on the same page and I totally get and understand his creativity. The reason I mention this is because when you look at the shots, there was a full process there. A whole storyboard that came alive. We love it :)

But I have to warn you all. Steve has just got a new camera and he's not afraid to use it!! Steve is the whole package and now armed with this.......jeez, this is an exciting year for him, I just know it.

Absolutely HIGHLY recommend to all!

Thank you, much love.

Really enjoyed my first shoot with Steve. He organised the shoot and came up with a better style concept for it than I ever could have! I'm going to have to ask for some styling advice!

I loved the array of outfits and props he brought along and was really happy with the concept as a whole.

Steve is a lovely guy and fantastic photographer, I hope to work with him again soon. Thanks for a great shoot Steve!

THis guy is a total legend!!!!!

Steve joined the group for the studio Beaches and Dunes trip to le Touquet this week.... He is always great to have around, so friendly, and funny and always willing to help out with any of the other guys in the group but also with the studio team on the stuff in the background.

Steve quite simply does not have an ego and is always so humble about the images he produces, but from what I saw on the back of his camera he has nothing to be humble about, they were cracking.

A total gentleman with the models even arriving with beach shoes for each of the ladies.

I cannot speak too highly of this guy and if you ever get the chance to work with him you should jump at it.

THanks for being part of the team and for all of your hard work helping out.

Very very highly recommended.

Steve was one of the photographers that join us for our road trip to France and what a guy!

That is the second time I had the opportunity to work with Steve and again, I think he was amazing! I believe he's one of the most genuine guys I met in this industry, very respectful with everyone, very professional and so friendly. I love working with Steve as I believe his work is interesting and... he always comes very well prepared with new beautiful dresses, shoes and other props :) On the top of being a talented photographer, he's a great stylist :) You should definitely work with Steve if it hasn't been done yet!

Highly recommended!

My main man right here!

Honestly, If I could have Steve as my personal shopper...life would be made.

I don't just feel like he's a really good photographer, he feels like my bodyguard, chauffeur, personal stylist and life coach!

I was a lucky girl, we got to shoot together twice this month! First shoot was fantastic! Looking forward to seeing those images, some urban, some 80's and some absolutely beautiful classic shots taken. Looking forward to seeing those!!

Second shoot was in France where Steve worked alongside me, BOou and 3 other photographers. Steve gets on with everyone...so long as your kind haha! and I was super impressed with what he came up with out in the field ! Oh and there was this one shoot, that he brought his own styling and damn.......just such a strong and elegant feel to them!

Honestly if you haven't shot with this man yet, you're missing out!! Highly recommend!

Much love!

I have been thinking long and hard how to write a reference that will do full justice to the talents of this guy. I gave up so here is just how it is...

Steve has been a regular visitor to the studio for the last couple of years and the effort he puts into the styling on his shoots made him the perfect pick to style the outfits for our commercial shoot style workshop.

I gave him the narrowest of briefs and let him work out how best to style Alex our model for the day.

As always he didn't disappoint, the 4 outfits he put together perfectly fitted what I was looking for and the effort and talent showed in the way the outfits just worked.

I can only recommend him highly to anybody wanting not only a talented photographer, skilled stylist and an all round great guy.

Such a beautiful time I had with Steve at the NLS!

I've finally got the chance to meet this amazing guy and working with him was just awesome.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent.

Steve arrived on time, well-prepared with very specific ideas in mind he wanted to produce and, as a stylist he brought a massive collection of amazing clothes and props which I think made the pictures so special! In a good way of course :) He's got such a good taste!

Then we started working in a relaxed and fun atmosphere but very productive and professional at the same time. The perfect mix to create great pictures... and of course, a very friendly gentleman with very good skills.

Steve, thank you for this amazing day, I am really looking forward to our next shoot which is very soon !! :)

Highly recommended!

I am so pleased to tell you I got to shoot with the wonderful Steve again whilst on tour in Kent!

Jesus......we nailed it. OMG! Seriously. What fantastic taste in styling this guy has! and I have to say I always feel like, it's nothing but the best for the models he shoots with you know? All the little details matter, they're all looked after well and presented to you all neatly and planned out.

I think that's what I love the most about Steve, is that I know it's not half a job! He really puts some hours behind his shoots before he's even shot anything! and it works swell...just you wait until you see the images from every set we cleared!

Have to say, still buzzing for sure and absolutely looking forward to working with Steve again!

Highly recommend to all!

omg this guy....seriously!

I don't think he knows his true brilliance yet! it's crazyyyy! What the produces in styling is top notch. I've been in the industry for a looooong time and what Steve visions and produces in terms of styling, is high end! and easily could be used for commercial purposes.

Above all this, this teddy bear is the greatest company! I echo what i've said in the past, a true gent! and one I urge people to shoot with for sure!

Highly recommend!

ok...grab your reading glasses and set aside some time to read this.

Steve was one of the fabulous photographers I got to shoot with in Belguim on 'Natural Light Spaces' Urbex workshop and I'm so glad he came.

This guy is the softest giant you'd know. I mean I still wouldn't cross him haha, but is interests lie in making sure everyone else is ok, you know? So there wasn't one bit of the trip with Steve by my side where I felt bewildered or not having fun!

The first thing Steve did when we arrived was hand out slip on shoes for the models...I mean, that level of thoughtfulness was totally unexpected, which made it that bit more special.

ok ok, on to his photography skills. THIS GUY!! i literally want to swear! He is amazing!! Seriously ! I just love his vision, his styling, composition. He's a been a fair few years in the game now and just goes from strength to strength and the Belgium trip, although challenging, was no different in terms of his visionary. I LOVE OUR SHOTS!

Our Steve is a talented photographer but overall a classic gent through and through.

Thank you.

The amazing Mr Boo was one of the team of photographers who joined us on the recent road trip to urbex in Belgium. And if I might say now we were honoured to have him along.

There are so few true gentlemen left in this world but he is certainly one, working with all of the models in such a thoughtful and considerate way, respectful to all of the other guys on the trip.

Add to this his epic styling skills, and his ever present help round the accommodation we couldn’t have wished for a better guy to have along.

Highly recommended and to myself and the studio a great friend.....

I finally got the chance to work with Steve on the NLS Belgium Urbex trip. He is such a great chap, really cares about his models and is a creative soul too. He looked out for us girls whilst we was there and even gave us “shoot shoes” to protect our feet whilst urbexing :)

He has an eye for detail and is the master of fashion design...the next Gok Wan in the making hehe! Really enjoyed working with him, he has a cracking sense of humour and I hope to work with him again soon!
