Steve replied to a casting call I put out some time ago for a creative styled shoot. We were in talks for several months about ideas/styling/wardrobe etc and both were equally as excited about the shoot when it finally came around.

Steve came up with the idea for a 'Black Swan' theme and also some 'Avant Garde' style dresses, it was safe to say that I was enthralled by the ideas. Something very different to anything on my portfolio before and so it was a challenge but we pulled it off! The images are truly wonderful! I love them.

Steve has a creative eye and definitely isn't one for just turning up and point & shoot, he likes to have a concept, a visual already before the shoot which makes for a fun, exciting time working as a team to create epic pictures.

A respectful, kind and genuine person. I felt very comfortable working with him and am already looking forward to the next one :)

Thanks Steve, Tillie x

Today i had a lovely shoot with steve at my home ..

The communications before were quickly and easily done and the shoot was set up in no time .

Steve turned up on time and we had a quick coffee while chatting about ideas .Steve new exactly the type of images he wanted to take and he utilised the natural light in my house brilliantly ..he is obviously a very experienced photographer.

Steve let me pose away and was also great at telling me what he wanted . we worked mainly within the erotic/adult genre (which i love ) and i was completely comfortable throughout ..

Steve is very chatty and really easy to get along with and even though we only had two hours we got through loads within this time. Steve is very respectful and professional but also fun to be with ...

I genuinely hope we get to work together again soon and i highly recommend Steve to work with x

thanku for today

Had a lovely relaxed and productive home shoot with Steve a few days back!... He arrived on time and greeted me with a big smile!... We had a little chat whilst setting up about ideas and how it would work in my set up. Steve was very comfortable and chatty.... He also gave me lots of ideas before the shoot which was brilliant for me!...

It was so easy to work with Steve and we got some really awesome shots!...

He let me pose freely and provided creative input also.... Oh and we certainly had a giggle as well :)

I would recommend Steve to other models.... Genuinely nice guy and talented photographer!

Thanks again Steve & I hope to work with you again in the future!

I have shot with Steve a variety of times on a few different ideas. This one was set in a gym and as always we had a brilliant time.

Steve always has excellent communication before, during and after the shoot and he is always happy to take my suggestions aswell as having some great ideas.

Would recommend and look forward to working with him again soon.

I had a lovely shoot with Steve today. It was challenging due to the nice weather and is being out in public... But I think we did it justice. He's really friendly, easy to get on with and has a passion for what he does. Had a great laugh and I'm sure the images will be amazing!! I certainly hope to work with him again in the future!!

100% recommended

A wonderful most memorable photoshoot with Flashing Blade, as it was with one of my most favorite locations in the UK, the Peak District. He picked me up on time, knew by heart the best spots to shoot and was very patient and professional. I love the results as well! Very happy.

I worked with FlashingBlade for the second time today!

I recommended Steve in my first reference and if I'm leaving a second reference it just goes to show I'm happy to work with this man again and I still recommend him! :)

Communication before hand was spot on, I knew exactly where I was going with the directions he had gave me.

Steve is more than happy to show you back off the camera shots during the shoot so you know how youre posing, if you need to change anything in particular, look at the lighting etc and this really helps.

It makes every model comfortable hearing reassurance from the photographer as well as him letting you see images during the shoot! :)

We shot at a models location, Chrissy. She has a beautiful place! You can do so much with it! :)

So of course me and Steve took advantage of the natural light and the space!

Thanks again Steve! :)

I had a shoot with steve today for the first time at huggers studio from start to finish it was a success. Prior to the shoot communication was excellent I was sent ideas to give me something to work on outfits wise, the day itself we got loads done plenty of outfit changes and looking just from the back of the camera we got some beauties. Steve is very easy to work with down to earth and creative

hope to see you again many thanks for today raven:)

I met FlashingBlade on a location group shoot.

I enjoyed working with FashingBlade as he's determined to get the images he wants. We had trouble with the natural sun light but he was sure he'd fix that problem and get back to work, and so he did!

FlashingBlade is a lovely polite man and I'd be happy to work with him again so of course I recommend him :)

Thanks again!

I shot with Steve at a studio in Sheffield a few months back now. We had a great shoot. Different ideas and we got some beautiful images. Steve really knows what he is doing and it was a pleasure working with him. After having a break from modelling I'd love to work with him again.

Thanks again steve.

I had my first shoot with steve yesterday at my studio day at aardwolf studios in Sheffield. He arrived early and was ready to start. Lots of ideas. Good direction. Very professional. Let me look at the images on his camera throughout the shoot and I must say we got some cracking ones. Looking forward to seeing the end results.

Recommended. Thanks again.

I had my first shoot with Steve last week at Bradgate Park, and what a great was had!! He was great ideas and got some great images even though the sunlight was pretty harsh to say the least! He was such a polite, well mannered guy who I would love to shoot with again! Thanks again for a great shoot Steve!! Highly recommended by moi :)

Lindsay

The shoot I had with Steve was a combination of studio and location. Steve was excellent at choosing both the studio and location which meant that the shoot ran smoothly and we had concepts of images before the shoot. I would recommend Steve to anybody as he has the skill to visit most briefs and ideas to get the images you are hoping for. Pleasure to work with too :)
