I contacted the wonderful Stu to see if he wanted to shoot with me and I was delighted when he said yes! Stus pre comms were great and I knew by the messages that he was someone I would enjoy working with.

Stu is a friendly and warm person, I felt really relaxed around him and enjoyed his company.

Stu is so humble and really encouraging and kind. We got some awesome images in our two hours and it was alot of fun!

Thankyou :D

Highly recommended

I recently had shot with Stu at Aura studios for a group shoot. He was super friendly and had some really great ideas with the short time that we had. Would definitely work with him again and recommend him to anyone :)

I had the pleasure of working with Stu at the recent Aura Studio Club Night. Stu was friendly, sociable and I'd happily work with him or recommend him to others. It is a joy to be creative with such a wonderful person.

Had a fantastic shoot with Stu the other day around UEA! What a giggle :) it was great to banter with you

The shoot was really fun and full of creative ideas.

I haven't done many trade shoots before and it was a nice opportunity to sort of take the lead as to poses and styles. So i could put into place the ideas i had of what types of shots i wanted. I really enjoyed that as it enabled me to be creative and imaginative:) so thank you

Comms were fab, and we had a good natter throughout the day

Would highly recommend Stu, and can't wait to work with him again x

After a very long time of talking, sharing ideas over the past year or two, myself and Stu finally met up and got creative!

The shoot was so enjoyable, full of lots of giggles, tea, madness and jaffa cakes of course!

We tried out a large variety of styles and ideas from boudoir to erotica and fetish.

His comms were fantastic throughout from the planning to arriving on the day. He was completely professional but fun throughout and the whole day was an absolute blast :)

Highly recommended! I had an excellent experience with Stu :)

Stu is truly a great photographer and person. He was polite, understanding and hilarious.

He was extremely considerate of my needs and looks and catered to my style and preferences on both occasions.

Great guy, great photographer.

I had a shoot with the wonderful LottiRose last week and Stuart came along to help ,

I am very much on the ' have not got much of a clue ' side of things when it comes to a camera , I am ok with a pencil and a brush , so the help and advice from Stuart was such a help , he was briliant at setting up the lighting , and kind and generous with his advice , with his and Lottis help I got some images that I am delighted with ,

once again , thank you Stuart for all your help ,

Had such a brillant, fun and creative UV body paint shoot with Stu today at his home studio- totally blown away with the images we got, they really are super and so artistic- love them! Stu was a real gentelman, made sure i was never cold while being painted and that i had a drink, fed me too :) We had a good laugh and he was so easy to get on with and chat too- he is certainly a very accomplished photographer with a good eye for poses and unique styles. Can't wait to work with him again somtime in the future- would recommend 100% to any model.

I don't have enough words for how much I love this guy and his work.. He smashes ideas and is determined to get a good result. He doesn't even nearly give him self enough credit but is honestly one of my favourite photographers.

Now away from the boring photography bit, because as amazing as his work is its his personality that makes the experience worth it! He is the niceset person I know in this business and has now officially gained me as a surrogate daughter, I'm happy everywhere I stay however I'm never as comfortable as when I'm at Stu and Jo's.

I love them both with all my heart and they keep me so upbeat and happy.

Stu, Stu, Stu.. Here we go!

My communication started with Stu a while back when I said I wanted to do a few tours, he emailed me offering me a place to stay if I ever toured the area. So when I did tour the offer still stood and I couldn't be happier with staying there. Stu and his wife Jo are literally the nicest people Ive met in years. Stu is the funniest person and cheered up my every day while I was there! His jokes and gags just kept me smiling.

I could not have been happier where I was and I cant thank Stu enough for inviting me. I felt literally part of the family within a couple of days, they were just amazing.

I got the opportunity to work with Stu, he actually blew my mind, He had some awesome ideas! I couldn't believe the results! I have had some ideas I have wanted to do for ages and only mentioned it to him and he was straight away up for it, and my god did he smash it?! Hes amazing. I was so, so happy with the results!!

I cant say enough good things about them. So here are some warnings: Stu likes football.. (boring!) If you set him funny tasks to do through the day to try and cheer up your day, he fails.. He will ask to nibble on my kebab, I gave him half instead, It felt less awkward.. Hes a child when it comes to a innuendo.. He really likes wrists... If you send him sheep emojis to make him sleepy he ends up hungry..

Though it hasn't put me off going back, I had the best two weeks of my year so far and love them both so much! I cant wait to see you in December Stu!

Thanks so much, You rock!!

Where do I start? Stu was introduced to me by a mutual friend. He was extremely calming, patient and friendly. The whole shoot was so much fun and Stu was nothing but positive and professional. The thing I liked most was that Stu really knows his stuff, he made subtle changes to my poses and posture, capturing the most incredible images. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again. I would highly recommend him to, well, everyone but I would also highly recommend him to those of you starting out who need help with posing etc... as he has an eye for detail. Stu, thank you so much and I really hope we can work together again in the future!

Met Stu last week at Wolfe Cottage and he is one of the kindest photographers I have ever met.

When we are shooting, the models needs truly are at the heart of everything and he was quick to throw a jacket to me when the wind picked up and even bought along a snack in case I got hungry (very sweet considering it was such a short shoot)

Stu has a lovely personality and a great imagination with regards to getting 'that shot' as well as being a lot of fun to actually work with!

I felt relaxed, comfortable and conversation was effortless. Would recommend him to absolutely anybody and I'm looking forward to seeing the results of future shoots!

What a shoot!!!

Absolutely loved working with stu today. Ticked all the necessary boxes.

Fun., laid back, easy to work with, professional, creative, great taste in music,supplied hot chockies and tea. Oh oh oh and a deep pan pizza for lunch... yummers!

It was a fluke getting a shoot with stu today but must of been fate! Had such a good time with him. We were able to emerge ideas, have a giggle and get some great shots.... his cats even got in on the action and I absolutely loved it!

Would recommend him to every model out there. New or experienced he'll make sure you get the perfect shoot.

Can't wait to work with you again stuey baby! !

Oh Stu!

I love working with this man, and his wonderful wife. We've grow closer with each shoot we have together..hell we almost all ended in the bath together at one point. A creative genius and wonderful last minute, communication wizard. This guy is awesome, and as we continue to shoot together...I will continue to write references.

I always get photos back in good time, in great quantity and quality. Stu is such a fun guy, and talented photographer. Whether we have a concept planed, or not planned...we always create great results.

Book this man...thats if I haven't booked him again first!

Lily Thorne

Having heard about him from plenty of photographers, I finally got the chance to work with Stu.

Communication beforehand was brilliant, I knew exactly what to bring and where to go. Very good at giving direction although happy to let me do my own thing as well. Highly professional at all times and made me feel very comfortable - even when positioning lego figures down my back!

Not only was the shoot such fun but the pictures are amazing too. Could not have dreamed for a better shoot.

And he makes a very good crispy deep pan pizza!

Miss Marie

Stu and Jo attended my Rock Chick workshop last week. We had been speaking for a while so it was lovely to finally put a face to a name and work with them.

Stu has great vision and brings out the best in you.

Fabulous photography and an absolute scream!!

Looking forward to working with them both again! ..... Until next time

BethJean

I worked with Stu for the first time last week when I responded to his last minute casting and what a pleasure it was!

He and his wife drove over two hours, to come pick me up and drive to a studio. We had a blast Classic Rock Road Trip, and bonded messaging thru fast and effective communication via What app and shared pictures...lets say it felt like a little vacation trip with your best friends. The company was great, music was great...and the photos turned out ....GREAT!

So talented, that's obvious from the fantastic work he is producing!!

Any direction given was good and we had a laugh at a number of my 'blonde moments' .

I felt totally comfortable and the images which I saw were fantastic!

I would highly recommend Stu to other models and wouldn't turn down an opportunity to work with him again.

Thank you Stu,

Lovely to meet you!
