After some planning and weather permitting we finally got to shoot together! Steve came up with a creative theme and scouted out the location in advance. His pre comms were excellent and he was already waiting for me when I arrived at the location. He put me right at ease such a laid back chatty guy, but wow his creative flare is awesome! He was well equipped for what we were shooting and the time flew by. Steve kept letting me see shots on back of camera to let me know how they looked and I was blown away! This guy knows his sh**! If you have a creative, quirky or even random idea then Steve is your man! Very professional, organised photographer and I had such fun working with him! I'd recommend to any model!!! Thanks again! :)

Wooooo! On my list of photographers I would work with anytime. Such a fun shoot & totally chill.

Shot with me and Katrina at the same time & managed to get some shots in-between the giggles.

Thank you!

I stayed with Steve in Newcastle last weekend and he was a great host and fab to work with.

He is really easy to talk to and I feel like our ideas came from a constant discourse throughout the entire weekend. He merges highly erotic, disturbing, clean, filthy and grainy together beautifully, all the while utilising light wonderfully.

Kudos to him for shooting me and Peach together and managing to get shots in between giggles, too.

Would absolutely recommend.

I left my shoot with Steve covered in glitter, with my sides aching from laughing and with images in the camera that I'm very, very excited about. We got on like a house on fire from the start which definitely helps any shoot, and had such a long list of ideas that we couldn't fit them into just one day.

Steve knows how to capture the mood of a shot or idea, does awesome lighting and is a fun and interesting person to be around. Looking forward to working together again! :D

I cannot thank Steve enough, not just for the previlege of working with him, and for his talent, but for his kind and caring manner. Always genuine and encouraging to work with, he alway makes me feel at home on shoot and unafraid to give 100% !

I recommend him to anyone who wants truely unique images and as well as a delightful time ! Xx

Steve, invited Talli Lyndsey & I to a collaborative shoot where we created multiple images in quick succession. He was clear about the style of image that he wanted, but was flexible enough to allow for any ideas that I or Talli had. Throughout the creative process & beyond, I've found Steve reassuring, friendly, professional & incredibly welcoming. There are few photographers I have worked with over the last sixteen years that I can say would not only document two lovers receiving milk enemas, but treats it as an everyday occurrence! Steve is a truly brilliant photographer, a creative whirlwind & I look forward to working with him again.

Had a first shoot with Steve yesterday and can't thank him enough !

Even though it was a quick shoot we managed to get through quite a few ideas . Love how creative this guy is .

Thankyou :)

I am pretty sure Steve is my new fav photographer. He got my ideas, he was technical sound and had loads of creativity and the ability to reference art and fashion. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to push themselves and get some really powerful images.

I loved shooting with Steve - had wanted to shoot with him for a very long time, we discussed ideas beforehand on Pinterest, and he hired a MUA for our shoot, which was awesome.

He has a great photographic style - dark, creativity and varied. Felt relaxed and comfortable shooting with him, we got some cool stuff, thanks! Be great to get creative together again...

I worked with steve for the first time at his house. He had some awesome ideas and I enjoyed getting into character mowing the lawn in my underwear. (Im sure the neighbours curtains were twitching!) He was the perfect host too. Food and wine coupled with a spot of sunbathing. one of the funnest shoots ive had. I would definitely work with him again. An awesome creative and a genuinely lovely guy.

Well it had been far too long before me and Steven last shot. This time I asked Steven to help me realise a concept that was in my head, he understood what I wanted to achieve perfectly and his knowledge of lights and background ideas, plus the odd little secret trick made the most amazing images.

I knew he would produce the goods but believe me when I say just when you think you've seen the best of Macky, he blows you away again and again with the art he creates.

If you're honoured enough to be asked to collaborate with this guy, do it - he will give you unique portfolio gold!

This was my first time shooting with Steve, I responded to a casting on a model group and he got in touch. He had an on going project he was looking for models for, he was very happy to send me over some references as the shoot would be at his house, I knew he'd shot previous with models I was familiar with.

He was very friendly and approachable and I was offered a drink and we spoke about the project, not only did I feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable with Steve, I feel like I have gained a new friend instantly. I feel very honoured that Steve let me be involved with this project and I cannot wait to shoot with him in the future, highly recommended not only for being fun and great to work with but the work he produces is unbelievably first class, thank you again for letting me be part of this!

Steve is skilled, professional and a proper gent! He has the perfect balance of having a good ol' giggle and making you feel totally comfortable and confident, whilst also being super focused on the shoot. I enjoyed the whole experience as well as seeing the results and I can't wait to work with him again.

Thank you! :)

Was a really good experience and hopeful to work again in the future!

I've always admired Steve's work so jumped at the chance to work with him, it's been one of the best shoots I've had all year.

He was great at portraying his ideas, even though there was some last minute changes everything still worked really well.

It was great to meet someone who has a lot of creative ideas and I hope to work with him again soon. :)

Maris Teschner

Had a great shoot with Steve, such an easy going, personable guy, fun, but remained professional throughout. Steve has a very unique style, and loves to get creative. Steve is very adaptable and respectful, I would recommend to any model, of all levels.

Had such a great shoot with Steve, great communications in the lead up to the shoot and had a lot of creative input. Would love to work with Steve again!

Kitty Quinzell

Had my second shoot with Macky over the weekend, we had lots of communication beforehand so we both knew exactly what we wanted out of the shoot, his comms were excellent and he organised everything for our shoot well,he's professional yet extremely easy to get on with, friendly, funny and a good laugh. The time flew by but it was a very productive session and Im loving the results.

He offers a unique style which will improve any portfolio

Cheers again :) x

Steve got in touch with me about a concept he was wanting to put together and I am so pleased I said I was up for the shoot. Steve was is a very easy guy to get on with and a great photographer. I found him very easy to work with and we worked well together in developing the concept to get the results we wanted. Thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and look forward to working with Steve on future projects!

Shot with Steve for the first time on Sunday and hopefully it won't be the last!

Pre-shoot Steve had tonnes of ideas to work from and share, and during the shoot made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the first instance.

A dressing room was readily available, and I was never short of a cup of tea!

We shot a variety of looks ranging from lingerie to fetish work, and throughout Steve was courteous of levels - he left it entirely up to me to show as much as I was comfortable working to.

The images we produced really do speak for themselves; BEAUTIFUL lighting, composition, post-processing and overall stunning photographs.

I would fully recommend Steve to anyone, lovely guy with a great eye for image

10/10, thank you! :D
