I replied to Stephen’s casting call for a shoot near me, and I’m so glad I did. He was so incredibly friendly and easy to work with, and had plenty of great ideas for us to dive into. All around such a cracking shoot and cracking guy, would highly recommend !

Had a great shoot with Stephen at my location in Exeter. He was very professional from start to finish, excellently organised, and easy to arrange and communicate with; I knew what to expect, making the shoot go smoothly. Also had a lovely chat with him while shooting, things were laid back but productive, we got through a number of sets together during the booking. The shots we got together were stunning.

Highly recommend to any model, and would love to work with him again! :)

Really enjoyed my shoot with Stephen! Very friendly and great to be around! We flew through the shoot finishing a bit earlier then planned but were both happy with this as we created some great photos! Definitely recommend and will definitely work with you again! Thanks again

Where to begin...what a cracking shoot and what a cool guy !

I answered a casting call Stephen put out and we planned an afternoon shooting in Bristol.

We hit it off immediately and we had a right laugh.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and if you get the chance to work with Stephen you'd be mad to pass it up !

Can't wait to see what we created.

After answering a casting call, I had my first shoot with Stephen on Sunday. Pre comms with Stephen were great, he arranged a hotel and let me know all of the details before hand, he was also mindful of me needing to shoot certain days due to my childcare which is great.

On meeting Stephen I was instantly made to feel at ease and he was thoughtful enough to buy me a bottle of water and grapes. Shooting with him was great fun and we got some lovely pictures.

I love Stephens dark/moody style of photography and hope to do a location shoot with him in the future. Definitely recommend.

Today was my first shoot with Stephen and hopefully the first of many!!

Stephen had a shoot idea which I was happy to help execute and I was delighted that we were going to work together. Pre comms were spot on! We discussed ideas, shared image examples and discussed locations, and we soon had a plan in place. Stephen gave me great directions, and the location we went to was absolutely stunning! I instantly got along with Stephen and felt totally at ease. We walked to a woods where we created the most stunning images. After the first set of shots, we looked at the boc together and had just gelled instantly. I was pulling poses and Stephen was getting all the angles, it was just amazing. Together we captured some stunning images!

Stephen is a great photographer, he’s an absolute joy to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot.

Thank you Stephen for such a great first shoot!

I look forward to working with you again soon.

Very highly recommended from me

I had such a good shoot with Stephen! He made me feel very relaxed from the moment I met him. He has a great personality and is so easy to get along with. Great communication when planning the shoot too with regards to what outfits he wanted and locations etc. The weather and location was perfect and I felt right in my element.

He is very professional in his work and is great with giving advice for different poses, I tried lots of different poses I’ve never done before!

I would highly recommend shooting with Stephen, I had such a fun time, and would be more than happy to work with him again :)

Thank you for a great day Stephen!

I had the most amazing two hour shoot with Stephen, at Sowton Studio in Devon - despite not being 100% comfortable with studio lighting and environments, he absolutely smashed it out the park!

We shot a mixture of moody portraits, intentional movement and long exposures, also some rather creepy skull and foliage numbers - the images are EXCEPTIONAL.

Stephen is a lovely soul, very creative, brilliant to chat to, enthusiastic, and highly respectful. Would recommend to all models without a shadow of a doubt!

Thanks again!

What an amazing day! First of all Stephen is a very easy person to get on with and upon meeting him I already felt relaxed and excited for the day ahead.

When shooting, Stephen was respectful, helpful and very professional. I felt safe, comfortable and confident in every style.

I highly recommend Stephen to any model wanting to work with him. I’m already looking forward to our next shoot.

Thank you for a wicked day Stephen!

We had a great shoot last week. Good pre-shoot communications about what clothing would be required and the kinds of shots we would be taking. He made me relaxed and comfortable throughout the shoot and the resulting images are even better than expected!

I would highly recommend and happy to work with Stephen again.

Amazing first shoot at my home on Sunday!

Stephen is lovely natured, professional, kind, with a clear knowledge of photography.

We shot fashion through to fine art which was wonderful and the time went too quickly, I can’t wait to see the images!

Having had a few bad experiences in the last few weeks it was so refreshing to shoot with such a professional and he rein stilled my confidence in modelling once more.

The images are going to be stunning and i hope that we can shoot again one day!

My second shoot with Stephen went brilliantly again. Stephen is extremely organised and has an amazing artistic eye. He is very good at giving direction, polite, and a good laugh down to earth guy. His patience and enthusiasm is commendable and I highly recommend shooting with him!

Thanks Stephen

Thank you so much for the brilliant shoot today Stephen. It was very easy to communicate with you and you knew exactly the style of shots you wanted to capture - which I really appreciate. You give great directions and were so conscious to make sure that I, as the model, was comfortable in each position. You have the most phenomenal creative eye and a true talent for lighting, as well as spotting superb shoot locations! I hope we can shoot again.

Thank you 😊

I worked with Stephen on Monday out on location in Exeter, shooting some art/implied nude and arty fashion styles.

His communication for the shoot was very clear and I knew exactly what styling to bring, what makeup to create and the general mood for the shoot.

Stephen was really friendly and a pleasure to work with, he is very creative, has a great eye for finding the best light and gave me clear direction when needed.

I really enjoyed working with you, thank you and looking forward to our next shoot.
