I had a fantastic 3rd shoot with Steve at his home studio in Stratford. You can always count on him to havce cool and original set ups, this time he created a makeshift beach in the living room and an artists studio. Steve is friendly, laid back and always provides snacks and tea. We've always gotten great results, highly recommended!

I had a great first shoot with Steve recently. We shot some art nude and bondage sets at his home. I was teaching him some basic rope bondage knots, and it was a fun shoot. He is very respectful and friendly, so I felt comfortable working with him. I'd happily work with him again sometime. Recommended! :)

I had photographer Steve shoot me today in his place at Stratford! He’s 100% professional, easy going, laid back and fun to work with. He’s a very professional photographer. We had a laugh which is always great on a shoot and have captured some great shots, I love how artsy Steve is and every item in his house is a mystery. I look forward to working with you again soon. Thank you for having me. Recommended!

Had a location shoot with Credenza in an area near the Thames that I thought I knew well, but it turns out there was even more to be explored than I realised!

There were many opportunities for amazing photos and I had a great time posing on railings and shipwrecked boats. 4 hours flew by!

Credenza was very professional and easy to get on with, and he showed me all the images as we shot, which I can’t wait to look through properly!

I would highly recommend and hope to shoot with him at another location sometime!

Steve and I had worked together on multiple occasions before now at his place just outside of London - and having always had superbly productive shoots with the most beautifully elaborate of creative ideas, it seemed like a no-brainer to snatch our opportunity to shoot at Tim's cottage in Kent on my latest tour of the area. :D This would give us a whole different setting to work from, and we even managed to bag some truly stunning outdoor location images as well! A very lovely shoot to add to the others we've had. :)

Our shoot was actually planned pretty impromptu as I was squeezing the tour in-between several other manic trips (spring 2018 was a crazy but enjoyably crazy time! :P) Yet still, Steve was absolutely brilliant with comms as always - a true star in fact and after a few emails we had a plan nailed and could look forward to a really cracking session in Kent. No fuss, no hassle, just perfect organisation and pre-shoot sharing of suggestions and ideas which were to come into play on the day.

The weather really blessed us that day, in fact the sun was mighty strong which did pose as quite a challenge at times. But Steve took it with a pinch of salt and just worked carefully with the conditions to create beautiful pictures - pictures which honestly did shine with incredible emotion and atmosphere. The sun also brought out walkers and other people so the outdoor stuff gave us every possible challenge that location work can offer but Steve smashed it and did his thing which gave us something COMPLETELY unique to the other styles/ideas that we had shot together up to that point. :) I cannot give him enough credit for his patience and careful eye to get the moment right.

With the indoor work we were able to bounce off the styling and environment with controlled lighting to make some lovely pictures. Again different and again taking on challenges to make the shot visually interesting. Steve was up and down stairs positioning and operating the light in imaginative ways to give the shot an interesting effect, he takes on different angles and composition with a fantastic eye to add interest to an image and works with care plus genuine enthusiasm inputted into every shoot. On the back of the camera, the shots just said it all! NUFF SAID!

I can only reiterate what I have said previously, and what other models have said too - he is honestly, one of the most respectful gentlemen that you could hope to work with as a model. His etiquette is perfect, and his demeanour is just utterly kind and respectful towards the people that he works with. Every shoot we have had has entailed a massive amount of chatter, laughs and wonderfully gelled working partnership as Steve is always happy for the models to be an active part of the ideas process. He is a STAR photographer! I simply cannot stress how highly I recommend this utter gentleman. :) A brilliant photographer of models and a big heart.

Thank you again Steve for a really lovely shoot!

Had a great shoot at my flat with credenza. He was 100% proffesional, friendly and easy to work with. We worked through a variety of ideas and styles of photography. Excited to see the images. Would recommend and would work with him again.

I had a wonderful time shooting with Steve for the first time yesterday at my home in Kent. Straight away, I knew Steve was a true gentleman - he was extremely kind, polite and is an overall lovely person to be around. He was easy to talk to, respectful, made me feel comfortable and at ease. Steve is very professional and has fantastic creative ideas. I have done many shoots at my home now, yet he was able to come up with new spots to shoot that I'd never tried or even thought of before. Steve shoots at a relaxed yet highly productive pace - we managed to fit in many different sets throughout our shoot. In between each set, Steve would kindly show me the images on the back of the camera which was excellent as I could then see what the light was looking like etc. His photos were amazing and the time just flew by!

Highly recommended by me and I'd love to work together again!

It had been far FAR too long since I last shot with Steve so I was very pleased to get the chance for a catch up and a shoot on my Kent tour!

We shot for three hours and like all of our other shoots Steve was a joy to work with.

He's professional and respectful, has a wonderful eye for light and shape and is just an all round lovely guy to work with.

He is really experienced when it comes to shooting models, he takes beautiful flattering and tasteful images that I'm proud to be a part of.

I would shoot with Steve every day if I could, but he would definately have a headache!!

Thank you as always and very highly recommended xx

Steve booked me for a 4 hour shoot on my london tour,

He was kind enough to pick me up from the station and I could instantly tell he was a kind and friendly gentleman.

I loved the vintage room he had set up with the gramophone and singer sewing machine, such an impressive collection.

We shot set after set, each one different to the last. He had read my references and knew that letting me get into a flow was the best way to get the most from me. I really appreciated that he had done his research.

The 4 hours absolutely flew by and the images on the back of camera looked fab,

I hope to shoot with him again on my next tour :)

My second shoot with Steve was even better (if that's possible) then our first. We shot at his super cool Victorian house, filled with antiques, books, and collections. He really is such an interesting character! I got to touch some 1950's gramophone records, see original Oscar Wilde hardbacks... It was such an amazing shoot.

We tried loads of sets and got many awesome images, yet it never felt rushed. The pictures look like they will turn out really well; I can't wait to see them. I'm sure we'll work together again soon.

Another amazing shoot with Steve. From princess style to vintage style to wild jungle style shoot altogether. I could say anymore how impressed I am by Steve's work. We are very in tune when working and always on the same page. I would definitely recommend him.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the first time today and we got some beautiful images in his lovely home studio in Stratford. Straight away I felt at ease and comfortable around him as he was very professional, directs well and holds a good conversation.

I highly recommend him and I would love to work with him again in future.

I have worked together with Steve many times and always love every single shoot! Steve kindly booked me for a half a days shoot whilst I was touring the local area and we had a blast! It was lovely to catch up- each shoot is like catching up with an old friend!

Steve had created a stunning backdrop in his lounge which was full of beautiful vintage props and furniture, including a beautiful refurbished gramophone which was awesome to pose next to!

We used a beautiful designer dress which I had loaned for my trip also- and together with Steves fantastic lighting set up, the photographs looked absolutely beautiful,with a stunning vintage feel!

Steve is also a great host and always makes sure you are comfortable, with plenty of cups of tea and snacks! He is extremely kind and just such a lovely person to be around. The time always flies by with this man!

Thankyou for such a lovely shoot Steve and I really hope to see you soon! Highly recommended to all, Helen x

I had a great second shoot with Steve. He is great company once you get to know him and we could talk for hours. Not to mention he has a beautiful house to shoot from with many different original set ups, accessories and even bits and pieces he's made himself! A very inspiring surrounding that makes me want to come back again. Would recommend and see you next time :)

I had another shoot with lovely Stevie and that was actually the 3rd shoot we had together! I was so pleased when Stevie managed to come and shoot with me in my apartment in London as we always have great images and fun time!

As always Stevie came full of ideas and enthusiasm. He is always so friendly and easy to work with you that it seriously feels like being with a friend. We always have so much laugh and fun while creating brilliant images. :)

Stevie has a really professional attitude towards photography but at the same time he's really down to earth and a real pleasure to work with :)!

I would love to recommend him to every model who's looking for quality images and time.

Thank you!:)

Second shoot with Credenza on my recent tour to London. It was lovely to work with him again. Our shoot was different from last time as he had created beautiful backdrops which gave a real bohemian vibe to one of our sets. Looking forward to see the final images. Would highly recommend Credenza to any model and I hope to shoot with him again soon.
