Stu contacted me regarding my casting call and I was impressed by his prop suggestions and ideas for the shoot. Pre shoot communications were good and we both knew about the themes. On the day of the shoot Stu was kindly waiting for me by his road so I won’t get last. He has a very well equipped studio and a great range of backdrops and props. He is very knowledgeable and he did a great light set up for each look. He’s very good at giving directions but also very accepting of my own ideas. The results looked really good on the back of the camera. I also enjoyed chatting to him about Hollywood photography. It was a very enjoyable shoot and I hope I’ll get to work with him again.

Yet another wildly successful shoot with Stu. He invited me to Belmont house and I have to say the location itself makes it hard to take a bad photo! But Stu’s photography skills combined with some good outfits and some brilliant angles have created some beautiful shots. He is an incredibly talented guy who I don’t think I’ll ever have a bad shoot with and for the reason amongst many others, I can’t wait to work with him again

Such a great shoot with studio yesterday very happy to meet the others who live with Stu. Tried to steal the dog but too big for my back pack. Stu has a wonderful studio and props and items of clothing. I got to keep a piece I fell in love with! Really enjoyable shoot and no safety concerns would recommend to everyone

I worked with the wonderful Stu again; this time at the stunning Belmont House in Salisbury! It was my first event at this stunning location and Stu was super kind to book a half day alongside photographer SPW_artphotogaphy.

Both photographers I had worked with prior and I knew they would be the perfect photography pair! :)

I couldn't have asked for a nicer pairing; they were so incredibly respectful, professional to work with and fantastic company!

Stu himself is such a sweetie; a kind, professional and very respectful person with a fantastic cheeky sense of humour! It had been a while since we had last shot together (perhaps 8 years or so?!) but honestly felt as if it was last year as Stu is so personable and it always feels like shooting with an old friend. Stu gave great direction and I really loved the images we achieved together!

Thankyou so much Stu and I really hope we get the opportunity to work together again soon; the highest of recommendation to all, Helen x

Stu and I were paired for shoot for half day event arranged by Helen Diaz. it’s always a bit nerve wracking I find when you are grouped for shooting not knowing who the other participants are and how the day would run. I need not have worried about Stu who was a pleasure to work with and we managed to have seamless day with both us getting exactly the setup and shots we wanted. A true professional and I would be delighted to work with him again

I had the pleasure of working with Stu for the first time recently and I'm so glad we did! Everything tried to stop our paths aligning, but we persevered and thankfully we did because captured some stunning images!

Stu's pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out and well communicated, which helped me in the packing process.

He was polite and professional from the start and was ever so accommodating, providing me with lunch and a place to rest after we'd finished as I waited for my fiance to pick me up.

The back of camera shots were phenomenal and I even had a front row seat to watching a quick edit! Conversation glowed easily and the 6 hours absolutely flew by. I felt very comfortable in Stu's presence and would very happily recommend him to other creative.

Ps - Daisy Dog and Jake are amazing!!

Thankyou so much for a fantastic shoot!

Had a fabulous second shoot with the amazing Stu Freeman at his wonderful home studio in Salisbury. Our last shoot was in November 2021 and we definitely left things far too long.

We had a lovely catch up and there was so much to discuss since our last shoot so much had happened in both of our lives since then. Stu is just the most accommodating and lovely man. He brought me plenty of refreshments and had some lovely chocolate buttons too. There was a dressing gown laid out for me and my own private changing area.

Stu had set up the most fabulous lighting set ups and had some amazing backdrops for us to shoot with and set ups. Everything flowed so well and we really do work well together me Stu we make a fabulous team. There was the perfect balance between my posing and Stu’s direction and we smashed through loads of amazing looks and themes.

From sheer, to latex, lingerie and implied/concealed nude. We really produced some phenomenal images together and I’m over the moon with the results. 110% recommended from me!!! Can’t wait till our next shoot 📸

Stu is also one of my most favourite photographers to work with - I literally love working with him. He is so lovely and a day spent with him is so fun and so creative. I find that I am really thinking about my posing and crafting images which feels like an art form.

I love especially shooting art nude type with with stu - his knowledge of lighting a model in this style is really second to none and I found it to be incredibly flattering but sculpturing as well showing of my form to its max. He really is a genius in this area.

If you havnt worked with Stu you really must - you will have a lovely day and really cared for and looked after - he really cares about models who work with him.

Thank you stu for another lovely shoot :)

Awww Stu is one of my old time faves so not only have I absolutely lost track of how many times we have shot but I also always look forward to shooting again!

We have shot so many times over the years, from ice skating to vintage railway stations, artistic nude and dance in his studio to shooting with a horse. One thing is always for sure though, I have a great time on our shoot, get to catch up with an old friend and make some more beautiful images together.

Stu is just such a good egg, he is friendly, respectful and always looks after his models!

Until next time! Highly recommended by me :)

Shot with Stu for the second time today!

I felt today flowed well & Stu, just like the previous shoot was really accommodating in terms of heating, coffee, music and feedback!

He was really organised and was full of ideas.

We had a laugh along the way!

Most importantly we got some cracking shots and talked about possible future shoot ideas! Thanks again Stu! Hope to see you later in the year.

Second time working with Stu and I have to say, there is no element of luck involved in the marvels that he is able to create. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and creative individual who will always want to try something new for the fun of it! Alongside being an absolute gentleman and making sure that I am always comfortable, he has brilliant ideas and provides everything needed to execute them throughly. I really enjoyed working with Stu and CANNOT wait for our next shoot in a few months!

Had a really wonderful day with stu on our shoot. His studio is very cool and a great space for so many opportunities.

Stu thankfully has lots of outfits and props 😉 so we didn't fall short of cool things to try during the shoot.

Stu is really kind man and I really enjoyed meeting him and working with such a great photographer. The pics ive seen already are awesome. Hope we get to repeat it very soon! Highly recommended

I had the pleasure of meeting Stu while on my last trip to Inspire studios which is local to Stu, pre comms were great and we had a plan secured in no time.

Stu accommodated me at his home with his beautiful wife for an entire weekend and I could not have been more poorly, this man cooked me food allowed me a nap in the middle of our shoot day and provided me with my very own sick bucket throughout my trip. His hospitality was endless and I to this day, could not be more grateful and I can’t wait for another opportunity to work with Stu.

The above speaks volumes for the kind, polite and easy going man Stu is and couple this with his amazing studio space, his ability to create concepts and beautiful images within these concepts and Stu is just amazing to work with.

Thankyou Stu, I very much look forward to working together in the future! Recommended without any hesitation

I had my first shoot today with Stu and I had a bloody lovely time.

Stu is friendly, funny, and interesting and made me feel so welcome and cared for.

His fab home studio is equipped with everything you might need on a shoot, and is lovely and toasty!

His ideas were awesome and I'm so excited about the shots we got.

He also has two beautiful dogs and a lovely wife which made the day even better.

I highly recommend Stu if you want to shoot with a cool person who definitely knows how to take a photo!

This was my 2nd shoot with Stu and it's always a laugh !

He replied to my casting looking to shoot some quirky maternity photos and I'm so glad he did !

We got some absolute crackers 😊

He's always an absolute gent, and supplied tea and chocolates to keep me going.

Would definately recommend working with Stu if you get the chance.

I had such a lovely day with Stu on Thursday. Stu was so incredibly kind to me, and it was so wonderful to have the chance to work with him for the day. I thought that his home studio was really fantastic and I was so impressed with the different sets that could be achieved there. I adore working the vintage style and this was a fantastic oppertunity to work this style. I found Stu to be so easy to talk to and loved hearing all about his interesting life. I also think he is a very talanted photographer and I have loved the images o far that we have made together. I hope I get the chance to work with him again in the near future. Thank you so much for the Pizza.

Best Wishes Kate

I worked with Stu yesterday for the first time at his home studio. This was a duo with Mr NPR, the theme fetish/erotica.

I really loved Stu’s ideas for the shoot outlined perfectly in pre-comms. His cheeky and fun nature made for a really fun and energetic shoot.

The edited images as now coming thick and fast. They really are great I love what we all created.

Thank you so much for a great day I really hope it will not be the last. 100% recommended
