Sooo glad we got the opportunity to meet and work together.

You arrived at my home on time and I opened the door to a huge smile.

You were eager to try new ideas which was a pleasant challenge for me. Such a friendly yet professional chap and I'd work with you again without hesitation.

I had my second shoot with Stephen and David last week and it was just as great as the first!

Full of laughter alongside productivity, no matter how shattered we all felt that day, haha! I was rightfully looking forward to this shoot as our last one resulted in future ideas, a new work relationship and stunning images.

Stephen is friendly, funny, respectful and has an eye for art.

Highly recommended and cant wait till the next one!

Thanks Stephen,

Stephen is a lovely fellow!

He, myself and Dave Ellis shot last week at Stephens incredible properties in the Ledbury area - such wonderful spaces! We shot a mix of fashion, beauty dish portraits, a bit of edgy lingerie, art nude and emotive, the images look absolutely beautiful.

Stephen is excellent with the camera, has some awesome ideas, is extraordinarily friendly, respectful, accommodating, and great to chat to! Would highly recommend to all models, he's an absolute gent.

Until next time!

English Photoworks

It was a real pleasure to work with Stephen, who attended a workshop at my studio. He is an excellent photographer who knows his way well around a studio. He gave great direction to our model, Bou, and was able to get the most from his experience with her. Stephen's photos from the shoot were absolutely first-rate. Stephen is personable, articulate and professional, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others. I hope our paths cross again soon: many thanks, Stephen!

What an absolutely great experience, im still smiling now nearly 2 hours after our shoot!

I was the model chosen to work with Stephen for a tuition session where David Craig Ellis was with us to offer any help needed whilst we were shooting as Stephen is quite new to shooting models.. not that i would have known if i wasn't told beforehand! He treated me with absolute respect, he showed me where I was able to get changed with privacy, offered bottles of water and was aware of the temperature and if i was warm enough.

We shot at his house in Ledbury, and my god, its any artists dream to live there! We shot in his summer house for the 3 hours, we changed sets and lighting throughout and did some experimental lighting shots, which is right up my street! He was happy to show me images on the back of the camera when we changed sets, which is alot of help for me to create the best images for Stephen to go away with and be pleased with.

He has a fab sense of humour and a very easy person to get along with and withholds interesting conversations throughout the time spent shooting. I'm really happy Stephen has came onto the scene, we need more photographers like him in the industry.. I cant wait to see him progress with his shots.

Thanks, cant wait until next time!

*Highly recommended*

David Craig Ellis

Worked with Stephen last week on a collaboration/mentoring shoot at his home along with KatyB as model.

We had a fantastic and creative afternoon with a very relaxed atmosphere, plenty of laughs, and some great images were captured. Despite being reletively new to model shoots, Stephen is already a very competent photographer and was very much at ease giving Katy good direction and throwing some great ideas into the mix and my input on the mentoring side really was minimal.

Stephen has some great facilities at his home for shoots and was a great host - an all round nice, friendly guy who i would reccommend without hesitation to any model thinking of working with him.

JD tuition

It's not entirely accurate to say that we had a tuition session today: I was present while Stephen took pictures, and offered the occaisonal suggestion.

He's a polite, soft-spoken and competent photographer, and he's got a sensible and minimalist approach to his camera and lenses.

He was, before the session, not sure that he knew what he needed to in terms of directing a model, setting things up, and running a session: I think he was pleasantly surprised to find that he actually has all the tools and abilities he needs to work with a model on his own, or to shoot at group sessions.

On the basis of his impeccable treatment of our model today, I'd not hesitate to recommend him to models here.

Lexy

I was the model for a Tuition shoot which was led by JD tuition for Stephen and it was great! It was my first time being a model for a tuition shoot and I can say it was fun!

Stephen is really easy to get along with and made some great suggestions during the shoot, would definitely recommend him as a photographer, we shot some great images which I hope to see soon!

Now he’s built some more knowledge in the photography would I’m definitely sure he’s going to make some amazing shots!

Great to work with you :)

Aatish Studio

Stephen came to the studio under the guidance of JD Tuition, learning aspects of photography in natural light and studio settings.

Stephen is very easy to get on with and showed tremendous respect to the studio, John, and model Lexy. He's a very capable photographer who I do highly recommend to models.

Welcome back here anytime.
