I had a productive and creative shoot with Stephen.

He is professional, polite, friendly, creative and enthusiastic about photography.

On our shoot it was raining through most of it but we kept up our great work, while taking short breaks when needed to warm up, have some biscuits, talk about the shoot and some other topics- the other topics were mainly about dogs as I’m getting a dog soon and as people may say, I’m Broody for my puppy’s arrival haha!

It was very nice of Stephen to bring towels for me and umbrellas incase it rained and we was fully prepared 👍🙂.

I really enjoyed shooting from lingerie-artistic nude levels with Kovophoto and I look forward to having a proper look at the results.

I’m very excited as we put a lot of energy into the shoot, so I know we’ve got some amazing shots!

Highly recommended photographer 🌟!

I hope we get the chance to work together again

What an incredible human and photographer! Absolutely love working with Stephen and so happy we got the chance to shoot again after a few years. unfortunately the weather wasn't so kind and i'm so gutted we couldn't shoot for longer :( couldn't recommend Stephen enough and hope we can shoot together again one day!

Talented photographer, interesting, funny and time just flew by!

I had my first shoot yesterday with Stephen and It was an absolute delight!

I applied to his casting call as I love his style of work and very happy we finally got the chance to work together.

Communication pre shoot was excellent. Stephen gave me useful details so that I knew exactly what to bring for the day and what to expect from the shoot.

He collected me from the station in time, with a coffee and drove to the beautiful wood location.

I loved the shoot and the creativity that came out from it. He had great ideas and a good eye to play with light and shadow. He gave me fantastic directions but still he left me space to express freely.

During the shoot we had several breaks with coffee, water and cookies that he kindly brought for us to keep the energy levels up.

Stephen is just AMAZING! Great positive energy! Very professional, creative and friendly.

I highly recommend to work with him and I can’t wait to shoot together again soon!

Thank YOU Stephen :)

So i had my first shoot with Stephen today, he was amazing to work with he gave me clear directions and made me feel very comfortable, nothing was left for me to wonder about before the shoot as he told me every outfit he wanted me to bring for the shoot, how he wanted my make up, hair and even scouted out a beautiful quiet location in a perfect woodland setting, I would definetly recommend Stephen for a shoot and look forward to a second shoot in the future 😊

I have worked with Stephen twice so far (I plan to work with him again in the future) and he was very professional and friendly during both shoots. He gave clear direction so I knew exactly what type of shot he was aiming to achieve, and he also provided biscuits! I would definitely recommend working with him 😊

I worked with Stephen for the first time last week and I'd be more than happy to recommend him to models with any level of experience.

His pre-communication was perfect so I knew exactly what to bring and what to expect from the location he'd chosen.

He gives great, precise direction and has an excellent eye for locations. It's always great to work with photographers who are creative and know exactly what they're looking for. (I'm sure you can already see from his port he has a distinct style!)

He's keen to make sure his models are comfortable throughout the shoot and a good combination of both professional and relaxed.

I hope we get to work together again soon :)

Thanks again Stephen!

It was lovely to get back out shooting again after a 2 year break and this was the perfect shoot to get back in for lots of reasons:

Great direction

Lots of laughter and good humour

A stunning location with such beautiful colours

A professional attitude

Relaxed atmosphere and good vibes all around

Would recommend 100%

Thank you for a super shoot!!!

It was great to meet and work with Stephen, I admire his eye for creating beautiful photos with such ease. I love his style and he was a pleasure to be around. He was professional and made me feel comfortable, and I enjoyed being apart of the creative process. I look forward to working with him again in the future. :)

I had a lovely time shooting with Stephen in Salisbury. Stephen picked an amazing location to shoot from: a forest with big trees and a cornfield... beautiful!

Pre-shoot communication was on spot!

Stephen is a very nice guy to be around, very interesting, and laid back. It was fun and productive at the same time. He's very creative and we managed to shoot some very strong images! Stephen is very talented, I love his style and I would love to work with him again soon!

Highly recommended

Well what a blast this shoot was! My first time working with Stephen and I really hope it isn't the last.

He storytelling and emotional descriptions were spot on, which really helped us get on the same page and create some emotive and strong images.

We had a lovely walk, admired the scenery and I even braved the river!

He is excellent company and a truly talented photographer. Highly recommend. Until next time!

First time shooting with the epic Stephen, in a woodland outside of Reading - without a doubt, one of the best shoots so far this year!

We shot a series of emotive portraits, incorporating textures of the trees, the ferns and the sunlight bursting through occasionally, found a rather fetching nest (wood pile) to curl up on, hugged a few trees, dodged some ninja ants, and drank the wonderful coffee that Stephen had brought along. It was a lush shoot, so many laughs and conversations too - flippin' epic.

Stephen is a wonderful chap, creative, friendly, an AMAZING eye for light, shadow and textures - would highly recommend to all models and creatives!

Until next time my dear.

Had an AMAZING second shoot with Stephen - shooting in a beautiful silver birth wood, such a serene location. We shot so many gorgeous sets, colours and portraits in a long grass field close by, artistic nudes on a log pile, emotive portraits curled up in tree stumps, using material and trees. The images are truly awesome.

I adore working with Stephen; he's a lovely soul, brilliant to talk to, creative, and very chilled. Looking forward to next time!

Highly recommended to all models.

I had a fantastic shoot with Stephen, he was incredibly respectful with a clear artistic vision. Pre comms we’re excellent and he provided drink and biscuits on the day. He is an artist at work whilst shooting and it was fascinating watching him and creating art together, I can not wait to see the images. I’d recommend him to anyone for his professionalism, creativity and respect for the model. Il look forward to working together in the future as felt totally at ease the entire shoot

Evie Robertzon

Absolutely amazing shoot with Stephen. I love his style of shooting. He has such a unique POV and asks for very different poses. The images are a reflection of how beautiful his vision was. Not only was the shoot successful, but also great fun. We stopped every 15 minutes or so for a rest and for tea, which made the shoot so chilled out. This was genuinely one of my favourite shoots off Purpleport so far, and I look forward to shooting with Stephen again!

Great first shoot with Stephen. Great communication through out. Stephen looked through my port and suggested clothes that would work which was very helpful. Stephen isn't afraid to go out of his way to get the best shot even if it means getting into the river with you. He was very considered and never asked me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with and always made sure I was OK. He brings snacks along. I had a great time in Stephens company and already planning for our next shoot. Definitely 100% recommend Stephen.

Third shoot with Stephen in an absolutely stunning location. Stephen made life easy for me by coming to a location I could access easily. As per the last shoots we had a laugh, worked hard and got some great results despite the challenge of shooting in strong sunlight. I think we're a very good shooting team and look forward to working together again now we're both back in the flow after a fairly long pause. I would recommend shooting with Kovophoto to anyone, and especially those who want to add some gritty outdoor edgyness to their portfolio. I must add, my favourite moment of the shoot was when Stephen was figuring out what was 'wrong' with his camera and it was the lens cap. Stephen I'll never let you live that down. ;) But on a serious note 10/10 thank you for another awesome shoot.

Hancharlotte

Second time working with Stephen and it was great. His ideas are refreshing and original and He knew the shots he wanted and we got them with no trouble. As per last shoot he was friendly, considerate and a real laugh to be around. Would 100% recommend working with him!

Beth Echo

Second shoot with Stephen today. As always pre Comms were clear and it was very apparent what I'd be doing. This time we did a story piece.

Stephen was very aware of the fact it was cold, and took great care in making sure I was safe and not too cold (especially when I was going into water!)

Stephen is easy to get on with and has a really creative mind which makes for really interesting shots. I cannot wait to work with him again and I highly recommend that other people do to.
