Oh man, wow, just bloody wow! I had the beautiful pleasure of shooting with Steve on JTD Photography of Natural Light Spaces studio’s Belgium trip :D

First off I have to say that Steve is the ultimate gentleman, no other way to put it, I have honestly never felt so cared for and thought about on a shoot before, between every take Steve would ask if I needed a coat or offer me his, carry my shoes to and from the set, wouldn’t take no for an answer and so kindly carry my bags around the location sites, he always made sure I was happy where I was poses so it wasn’t dangerous eg no glass or that I wouldn’t slip off a ledge. Made sure I wasn’t cold, and this one might sound odd but I know how much models truly appreciate this but also gave complete privacy between sets when the models were getting changed or derobing as much as models are used to being nude on set it’s just so nice to be able to get dressed or undressed without the fear of being photographed when we’re not ready and Steve was a star for setting an example to other photographers that went aware of the etiquette on set :D

Steve works quickly too so you don’t have a chance to get cold, he takes a test shot whilst you’re coated up and then when ready you just just freestyle away, if you’re holding a tough pose and he needs to change angles you won’t be left breaking your back waiting for the shot Steve will let you know (I really love and appreciate that!). And as I’m sure it’s been said time and time again but Steve is a master stylist, I only wish I had been able to shoot in some of his incredible and inspiring creations, as I’ve never known anyone to have such an eye for details like him and it was amazing to see how he works on set as well as hearing about all the work he does in the background to find the clothing he later styles for those unique shots he takes.

I could honestly write about Steve all day as he was a complete joy to not only work with but spend time with also, utterly hilarious and filled with stories that would entertain you for hours on end.

Steve you of course come easily and very highly recommended by me, thank you so much for joining us on the trip and I hope to see you again soon :D

P.s Steve actually bought slip on shoes for all the models, how amazing is that!

Met Steve on a recent urbex trip to Belgium, what a complete breath of fresh air.... this guy speaks my language, he's funny, positive, creative and genuinely one of the nicest blokes you could meet.

Steve is full of ideas and I know he came away from the trip with some awesome images!

Would I recommend Steve? 100% for sure, I look forward to meeting up with him on another shoot soon! :)

This was such a long time coming....and wow, nothing short of amazing today, truly.

You know how it is, sometimes arranging a shoot when you're both free can be painstaking sometimes. But we did it and it was worth the wait.

Steve is a gentle giant in my eyes, a real good person down to the bone. You just feel that when you're around him. A gentleman, a creative soul, a good listener, passionate and enthusiastic photographer, a visionary, a hard worker and above all, it just feels like effortless natural good company, oh and you won't be short of good conversation and fascinating stories.

Pre comms were spot on and arranged really smoothly with a selection of items he wanted me to wear sent to me in pictures so i was prepared with what to expect.

Upon arrival a big friendly greet, a quick discussion of what look we wanted to start with and off I went to put the war paint on.

We worked really well together all day, totally same wavelength and the back of the camera images.....well they speak for themselves ! Can not wait to see them fully finished.

I would 100% recommend Steve to any aspiring or professional model and I'm looking forward to working with Steve again :)

Much love,

Second shoot with Steve and another great one! He's such a great guy and a good laugh! He's easy to work with and makes you feel at ease! He's extremely professional and gives great direction! He had so many amazing ideas and also has a massive variety of amazing outfits, each one is different from the other! Very talented and I highly recommend! One of my favourite shoots to date!

I recently worked with Steve on a fashion style shoot. It’s great working with Steve because firstly he brings along some amazing outfits for the models and does an excellent job of styling them. Secondly, he has some great ideas for shoots which gives off an infectious creativity. I know many photographers do not like working with other photographers on a shoot but Steve is so easy going and relaxed it’s a pleasure to have somebody to bounce ideas around with.

Always happy to collaborate with you Steve. 100% recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve again after a few years I can honestly say this man does not give himself enough credit his photography is stunning I was over the moon when he showed me our shots! I always feel very comfortable with Steve our energy seems to bounce off each other very well, he is very respectful and always brings yummy snacks hehe I would most definitely work with Steve again I can't recommend him highly enough!! Xx

First shoot with Steve and it wont be the last.

I shot with Steve at Rochester Studio along with another photographer. Great communication beforehand and Steve had bought a range of gorgeous outfits i could shoot in and believe it or not, all the shoes and clothes fit me perfectly!!!

Steve is an all round great guy who is a great laugh but also very professional. I would recommend him to anyone :)

Steve came down to my studio weekend and booked me for half a day again.

As always Steve delivers from outfits to fantastic images, every outfit he brought out I’ve adored.

We shot 5-6 outfits he’s a brilliant stylist yet again I have serious wardrobe envy.

Steve is definitely one to watch for, brilliant at his craft, friendly and professional we’ve built a great rapport with one another I always enjoy working with him. And he even brought me my faves Krispy Kremes.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the images we created today.

Always and highly recommended. Thank you for having me, here’s to many more happy shooting together.

BOO! It's me again :) Steve and I had our god-knows-what-number shoot when he shot me at the Flour Port Builder day at NLS. He also gets super extra credit for assisting us set up the studio in prep for the mess and assisting with the second session! Steve is a lovely caring guy, as a model working with him you will be really well looked after and treated with respect and will also laugh a lot cuz he's hilarious :D Can't recommend him enough, really :)

Steve very kindly assisted during my flour dance shoot at Natural Light Spaces, and I found him to be empathetic, kind, and professional. Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again. :)

Thank You. x

Today Steve drove all the way to Worthing for an early morning (well early for me!) fashion location shoot. I've mentioned before that Steve is an amazing stylist and today as ever he did not fail to provide me with a huge selection of amazing outfits, he spends a lot of time sourcing his outfits and choosing pieces that work well together and it really shows! He is so creative, amazing with colour and really respectful.

I was worried I would be a shivering mess but Steve is so polite and considerate, he kept me super warm and did all the test shots so I was able to just jump out and strut my stuff for a few minutes while we captured the shots, then straight back in the car to warm up!

We finished off at my place with a nice selection of lifestyle images, and a good old natter. Thanks so much and as ever highly recommended from me xx

Steve is an absolute star, we shot together once again this time as part of the dance & aerial circus portfolio builder at NLS. It was a very exhausting day for me doing 8 hours of aerial work, and Steve was lovely and made sure I was safe to continue and kept bringing me coffee! Totally recommended by me once again!

Elle Beth

I finally got a chance to work with Steve! Who is just a pleasure to work with, I wasn't feeling my best that day but Steve was on hand with lots of hot chocolate to keep my energy up and we captured some absolutely stunning ballet shots!

Steve is profesional, a laugh to chat with and all round easy to work with.

Highly Recommended!

Elle Beth

Steve was fantastic on the portfolio builder at the NLS, we captured some really beautiful photos and Steve was such a gentleman on the day as i was quite unwell so he kept me supplied with hot chocolate to keep my energy up.

I really hope to work with Steve again.

Highly Recommended!

Firstly would like to thank Steve for a wonderful day of shooting with a variety of styles including fashion and scenery changes!

Steve has a very good link to Cove studios with fantastic space to leap and kick as well as different scene changes, variety of lighting and props to use from.

Would highly recommend using him for a photoshoot to get desired looks and styles of shots. He was extremely professional and had a good eye for the perfect picture plus had a good range of clothing and shoes for me to use. I love pretty much all the pictures he took of me and I cannot wait to see them all!

Ellis Stone

Amazing first shoot with Steve! What a great shoot with an awesome tog. Our aim was high fashion, and it's safe to say I think we definitely achieved that in some cracking shots! Not only did Steve have an amazing collection of outfits and props, he also gave great direction that was helpful but also worked alongside my style.

Communication perfect, organisation perfect. I am more than grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Steve and consider myself very lucky to work with an all round great photographer. I hope very much so that we can work together in future as this shoot was a pleasure and I genuinely really enjoyed myself.

Oh, and to top it off, Steve has an awesome sense of humour and is a lovely, genuine guy which made the shoot run EXTRA smoothly! I felt at ease instantly which enabled us to create some top notch images.

Thank you so much Steve!!

Where do i start with Steve?

Steve booked me for half day during my studio weekend at NLS, he was my second photographer of the day and wow he was such a sweetheart for bringing me in my beloved favourite Krispy Kremes he already won me over at this point.

I was uber impressed just how much Steve brought with him. He had an array of fabulous outfits specifically for me to wear for the day, so envious of his wardrobe collection, especially the shoes!! goodness they were to die for.

Throughout the day with Steve there wasn't a dull moment, we had such a cracking time, ever the polite sweet charming professional gentleman i have ever had the chance of working with, he ensured my brew was always topped up and gave plenty of breaks in-between!

I lost count at the amount of times i burst out laughing mid shoot, we did make up for it when it came to the nailing the shots. I'm pretty content Steve went home a happy man after such a fun productive day.

You're a bloody star! thank you for making my day such a wonderful one.

Would i recommend Steve? YES ABSOLUTELY without a doubt, one of the best people to be around. I'm looking forward to my next visit down hopefully i get to with you again.

Love Mia xx

Steve is a total fricking star! We have shot together a number of times now, and he has outdone his awesomeness with each shoot. As ever he came up with some really awesome unusual concepts, and brought along with him all the clothing, accessories, and wigs needed for them! Shooting with Steve is really chilled, he makes sure I have time to relax between sets and get re-caffeinated (super important :) ) and we have a really good laugh. He is a very cool person and an excellent photographer. Recommended 100% and hope we can shoot together again very soon!

Charlotte-Mae

Working with Steve yet again, wonderful photographer and great company, always comes prepared with clothes and props!

Great to work with you again! And until next time!

What can I say about Steve that hasn't been said before! He's insanely creative, he's a real gentleman and his model etiquette is second to none. He is passionate, enthusiastic and talented, and he brings tea. Need I say more!?

We had our first location shoot together and from the get go it was fun and productive, we stopped for obligatory bacon sarnie because you can't take that many awesome sets without a sarnie!

Cannot recommend Steve highly enough and can't wait to see the results of today!

Thank you! BD xx
