Wow. Just WOW! There truly is no other way of describing this amazing gentleman! Such a sweetheart, communication just flows between you and he offers you such a warm welcome to his fantastic (utterly utterly fantastic!) studio that you instantly feel at home! Steve was so so so much fun to work with and I've already seen a couple of the images and they look FAB. I can’t wait to shoot with him again! I would recommend him 5* to any model, they should consider it a privilege to work with him.

Had my second shoot with Steve this Monday and it was everything I had hoped for, as with the previous time! I felt welcomed straight away.

We shot some lingerie, Alvarado style shoots, along with some art nude upstairs in the fantastic boudoir area.

Again, I felt totally comfortable. Steve was awesome to work with and had a lot of ideas, as well as welcoming any input I had.

The shots turned out fabulous and I received images a lot faster than I have with any other photographer!

It was an absolute pleasure, as usual. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Had the real pleasure of working with Steve today in his studio, he was great to work with and made a great cup of coffee ;)

The studio was at such a high standard and had everything you could ever need, i easily could have moved in, there was ao much stuff it felt like christmas :) one of the most professional studios i have had the honour to work in. It was friendly, accomadating and just a great place for any model to shoot at. Cant wait to see the images we did, Steve constantly made me feel amazing and we had a lot of fun on the set. Communication was at a high standard before, during and after the shoot. Cant recommend him and his studio enough, i for one will definately want to shoot here again, with myself already making further bookings with him.

I recently worked at Steve's studio over the best part of a day and have to say that it is one of the best equipped studios that I have ever worked in. Lots of props and lots of different styled areas that can be used to great effect and I was so spoilt for choice that I did not explore more than a few options and I really need to book another shoot .

Steve was very friendly and on hand throughout the day but did not intrude and left us to re-arrange his studio and props to our hearts content. We felt totally at home and ended up with some amazing images and I have to say that I am very tempted not to recommend him because he will get booked up and then I will have nowhere to go !! This studio is a must for anyone in the area and we actually travelled 115 miles (each way) to visit and it was worth every mile.

I had my first studio day at Steve's studio• I couldn't have picked a better place or person• He was the perfect host.The photographers where blown away with his studio set-up ; especially his top studio which has so many great features.For us models it can be hard constantly buying new clothes \underwear etc .Well Steve has a packed rail of fabulous clothes and new underwear you can purchase at a low price.I hope he has many more studio days to come as you will not be disappointed. Thank you once again Steve , I had a fabulous day and you helped so much to make it run smoothly.Your be gem :)

First impressions upon arrival is of a gorgeous studio set in a gorgeous little village, Steves newly acquired and recently refurbished studio is spotless, fresh and extremely inviting, from the reception to the kitchen (which we made full use of, and it came with a tea maid too).

Very well appointed studio, with tons of props if you fancy an impromptu shoot, Steve (Foto-Retro Studios) has tons of props and outfits to play around with, he has more lights and modifiers than calumet, which you can use in any number of scenarios due to lots of sectionised shooting areas.

The studio is a great place to spend a day and Steve is a perfect host.

If I sound any more positive, I would have to be made a partner.

Thank you Steve for organising, and I will be back.

Had a great shoot at this little gem of a studio with two different models on the same day. The studio is well built with more than enough kit to get the desired shots. The upstairs studio was a breath of fresh air with a different slant on bedroom/boudoir themed sets. I look forward to using the studio again

I hope to work with him again soon.
