Had a great first shoot with Stephen. He is professional, easy to work, has good clear communication and has many different ideas. I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole shoot. Highly recommend by me and look forward to working together again.

After a long break I had the opportunity to shoot with Stephen again and I'd absolutely loved it! He is very easy to work with, always very prepared for shoots and looking well after models. This time we've done something slightly out of my levels (I've agreed to do it as I do trust Stephen) and he was always making sure I'm happy and comfortable.

I also seen some results already and I'm absolutely buzzing!

Couldn't recommend Stephen enough and can't wait for another shoot together!

Steve is just brilliant to work with. He is professional and very creative. Pre shoot coms as always are great and each shoot I have known what shots Steve was looking for.

Three shoots in and already booked the forth which shows how much I recommend and enjoy work with Steve.

Steve has a great studio however happy to travel and not just stay shooting in the studio.

I cannot recommend shooting with this lovely photographer more! Already looking forward to our next shoot.

I had a fantastic time shooting on Saturday with Steve at his Studio in Gloucester. We had not seen each other, since just before lockdown and so I was looking forward to our paths crossing again.

Saturday was our first Studio shoot together, the previous shoots, had been locations. I was keen to see Steve's Studio now it was up and running. Steve was incredibly well organised, we discussed the implied mood board before the shoot and Steve sent me, all the studio and contact details, plenty in advance.

Once we met up, Steve gave me a lovely warm welcome and it was like no time had passed at all. I loved how prepared Steve was, lights all set up ready, tethering all set up and mood board images to hand. I also loved Steve's enthusiasm for the shoot. Because of all the above, the shoot flowed really well and I had a complete blast with him.

Having the images tethering from the camera, was a fantastic idea of his, as we could build or adapt ideas as the shoot progressed. The time went very quickly. Implied levels are my top level, Steve was 100% professionally and respectful of me at all times and I felt completely comfortable. The images we have created are really strong and I would highly recommend shooting with Steve to other models.

Great time on Saturday, thanks so much Steve!

Second shoot with Steve was brilliant! We had booked the weekend it decided to snow on my way to our shoot I was 10mins away when the roads turned horrendous. Being the lovely man Steve is he said my safety came first and for me to get home safe.

Luckily we both had spare day left before xmas and thank god we did. We had a great shoot. Steve is organised, professional and always puts the models needs and safety first. Steve has a great studio to work in which was made very warm and comfortable.

I recommend Steve to any model and look forward to working with him in the new year.

Well, what can I say about Steve...what a brilliant guy!

So, welcoming even going out to a coffee shop before I arrived. As for being able to get on with Steve was unbelievably easy with this lovely, funny and interesting guy.

Two hours flew by, and I was wishing the shoot went on longer. Luckily for me Steve has booked a second shoot for this weekend and even recommended me to another photographer.

If you have a chance to work with Steve, do it!

Had an amazing shoot today with Stephen. He was super friendly and felt like I was talking to a friend, so easy going. Made me feel extremely comfortable and confident, and was hospitable.

The shoot went so smoothly and we moved through outfits and ideas so seamlessly. Everything was set up before I arrived. I have no doubt the quality of the images will be amazing. He definitely has an eye for detail and knows exactly what he’s doing. Very professional and good at what he does.

He even bought me a Burger King after the shoot was concluded which was very much appreciated!

Highly recommended and look forward to working with him again soon! ☺️

Would definitely recommend

First shoot with Stephen at his studio in Gloucester, and wow, what an experience!

Stephen is an absolutely lovely guy, so polite and easygoing - and full of enthusiasm and positive energy which I absolutely loved. He had loads of great ideas for the shoot and was really clear in what he was looking to achieve from the session.

I immediately warmed to Stephen which made the shoot flow with ease and it was really easy to 'get into the zone.' Stephen gives a lot of feedback during shoots which is really helpful so that we models know that we are delivering what is needed/expected! He is also very considerate and accommodating, making sure I was happy and comfortable at all times.

Stephen has sent over some photos from the shoot already and I absolutely love the results! Stephen has a really great eye for a nice, stylish photo and I really love the way he works.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Stephen again and hope we cross paths again in future! Thanks so much Stephen :)

Had another shoot with Steve went touring in Gloucestershire recently, this time we went out on location – to a location that I had suggested. Pre-comms were good as always and there was clear direction given about what we were trying to achieve from the shoot.

The thing I love working With Steve is how many ideas and concepts he has. He is also totally adaptable, for example we were planning to do some drone footage and videography but when that… Didn’t quite go to plan… He quickly adapted and we continued to shoot and get some great results, having fun the whole time. Thanks for another great shoot Steve , until next time!

Had a second shoot with Stephen very recently on a trip to Gloucester. Definitely still recommended, as before great pre comms, knowing exactly which outfits to bring and which vibes we're aiming for really helped with my preparation- especially being on tour. Steve's recently done a lighting course- just one example of how he is trying to always better himself as a photographer - and so had lots of cool and interesting styles to try out. Got some really unique and cool shots that I LOVE, inside and also out on location nearby to his fab studio. Thanks again Steve

Joanna Mills

Today I had another great shoot with Stephen.

He was well prepared with hundreds of ideas for poses and backgrounds, also kept me well informed before the shoot regarding styles and outfits. I've seen some results already and love them - couldn't expect anything else!

All shoots with Stephen are great fun and cannot wait to work together again in the future

100% RECOMMEND!

This was my second shoot with Stephen and the first of my tour. I couldn't have started it in a better way! Amazing pre shoot communication, shoot plan and mood board images shared-which is always very helpful and gives a good feel and idea of what your both looking to create!

Stephen is obviously very passionate about photography, polite caring, considerate and a total gent. Since shooting with him last year he has improved and still looking to. If you get the chance definitely shoot with him. Super quick to edit and share images which I'm really pleased with also! Thankyou, until next time! X

Had a fab first shoot with Stephen, the first of many I hope… His pre-comms were great, clear communication as to the plan for the shoot but when shooting was also very happy to try any ideas I had. I really loved that Stephen had also taken time before the shoot to prepare, the studio was all ready- sets poised to be moved in position, lighting on- it made us able to crack on straight away (after tea and a chat of course..)

Stephen was really generous in so many ways- with ideas and concepts, with sharing images after the shoot (which are ace) and when I messed up my car parking and was worried about a fine he let us finish shooting early so I could be back at my car (sorry again!)

Got some pictures back really quickly and have already shared them- go check them out and if you get a chance shoot with Stephen, I hopefully will be again soon- thanks!

I had an amazing first shoot yesterday with Steve. We've met in his studio in Gloucester. He was very profesional, knew what He wants to achive and how to do it from beggining. He was more happy to give me some tips and explanation.

Before shoots i get instagram mood witch i could use to prepere myself.

Steve was very caring all the time and i had an amazing experience with him. Hope to work together again!

Yesterday marked the start of many shoots with Steve!

What a professional, friendly and well planned photographer!

You know when you are booked for a shoot and the photographer sends you a Pinterest board with ideas they have for you to add to,

And on the day supplies a rough itinery to get the most from the shoot, that he is open to be edited.

He is that amazingly organised and enthusiastic photographer and it shines!

He knew what he wanted to capture & was on board with all my creative outputs snapping away.

He knew his lighting very well & has a lovely studio space in Gloucester!

Always better to be overambitious with the ideas than under, and so we have plenty more shoots to get on with to cover the breadth of looks that we want to capture.

From start to finish, it was a pleasure to be booked by Steve,

And I would absolutely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic shoot with Steve today. Communication was great prior to the shoot. Full list of itinerary, shoot plan, mood board etc. Very friendly & accommodating. Has lots of ideas but is happy to let the model lead too. Fantastic studio. Would highly recommend & looking forward to another shoot soon!

Joanna Mills

Today I had another fab shoot with Steve. This time we have managed to do both outdoor and studio and I'm absolutely buzzing to see the results. Steve is a great person to work with, very professional, always well prepared for shoots with loads of different ideas. And not forget to mention that's he's a real gentlemen and so helpful when model decides to jump on some windowsills for a good photo hahaha

Would definitely recommend and can't wait for the future shoots!

Joanna Mills

So today I had my very first shoot with Stephen and I can't recommend him enough!

Great photographer and such a lovely person - made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, prepared some drinks for me and showed around the studio.

I absolutely loved the pre shoot communication - it was a clear plan plus Pinterest mood board so it was incredibly easy for me to prepare the right looks and outfits.

We had a lot of fun (which is most important to me!) and the results are absolutely amazing!

I would 100% recommend Stephen and cannot wait to work with him again!
