The last time Stu and I worked together was 2 years ago, this time around it was for our first maternity shoot. Stu's home studio is warm, clean and he also has some beautiful materials, clothing, backdrops, lighting, its endless!

We shot some beautiful bump images which really showed off my new curves and amazing to look at watching my body growing and changing.

Stu is friendly, professional and really understands his lighting to create the best images. He even uploaded images the same day from our shoot!

Thank you so much for a lovely relaxed shoot.

Highly recommended to all models.

Kind regards Hannorah

2 in 1!

Absolutely incredible second and third shoot with Stu during my tour down in Salisbury :) We've had to schedule and reschedule this so many times due to pandemic, but we finally got there and our patience has paid off :)!

I shot in Stu's home studio and we went and did some location work in nearby areas too. We covered just about everything! Stu's studio is an aerialist's dream, he has everything: lollipop, pole, hoop, rope, straps, you name it! We also did some dance, fashion, lingerie and concealed nude work. Stu was kind enough to offer me accommodation for 2 nights as well which he often offers touring models. He has such a beautiful home, the most adorable puppos and his wife is really sweet and chatty. They offered me food and dinners during my stay as well, which is above and beyond what I would ever expect. I felt truly looked after and welcomed into their home :)

I cannot emphasise what a genuinely lovely human Stu is. He is so kind and thoughtful in everything he does, nothing is ever too much. Did I mention he is a crazy good photographer too?! Because WOW these pictures are FIRE!! I absolutely love shooting with Stu, his attention to detail is brilliant and he's a joy to work with :)

Professional at all times, fun to be around, patient and easy going. An absolute dream to shoot with :) Can't wait for the next time!

If you're contemplating shooting with Stu, DO IT! You'll have the best time :)

My highest of recommendations!

I posted up a casting about a xc shoot with my pony, Stu was responsive and fast replying, we agreed to go ahead.

Stu was professional, friendly and on time. Stu had a good idea for photos and got some great shots.

Definitely recommend! Hope to shoot again soon!

Really glad me and Stu arranged a shopt just before lockdown. Stu quickly replied to my casting & we set a time instantly.

As always Stu was fully prepared with lots of different set ups to use in his home studio. His fun personality and professionalism shows throughout the shoot and time flew by! He is respectful of the models & always takes time to test lighting / equipment to make sure the images are spot on. We managed to shoot a wide range of implied fashion up to lingerie & nude alongside us chatting for England!

Stu uploaded images the same day and I am really happy with what we shot. Highly recommended! :)

Having just finished a shoot with Stu and am looking forward to working with him again. We worked at a good pace, covering a variety of themes that will undoubtedly enhance my profile. Stu is mindful of levels and is extremely courteous and respectful. He has an extensive range of props and clothing as well a extremely well quipped home studio.

I managed to turn up a couple of hours earlier in error - and he very kindly moved the shoot forward.

Thankyou Stu for a relaxed and enjoyable shoot.

Had a great first shoot with Stu at his home studio last week. It was so warm it was amazing as I really feel the cold but had no problem here which helped me warm up as we did a range of aerial from hoop to silks to a bit of rope. We had a laugh while working through different sets and all the chocolate a girl could ask for would recommend, great guy!

As you can see Stu has more than enough references now so I will keep it short...

Absolutely fantastic first shoot with Stu!

Really made me feed at ease, super professional, friendly and I'm in love with the images.

Extremely keen to work with him again 😀

It was SO nice catching up with Stu on my recent studio day at Inspire Studios!!!

I've worked with Stu for years now but it had been far too long since our last shoot so I was over the moon when I found out he had booked some time!

Stu is such a wonderful person - friendly, kind, respectful, a fab sense of humour - just all round great company :D

If you haven't guessed already I 100% recommend him! It was honestly such a pleasure working with him again and I hope we don't go as long without seeing each other again!

First time working with Stu, sure it won't be the last. He kindly booked time at my recent studio day in Salisbury and came with great ideas of what he wanted to achieve. He articulates this with detail and includes his background ideas which is really useful to help understand how he is thinking and why he is applying the direction, styling or lighting that he is using.

Seen many of the images already and love them, so grateful that he took the time to join my day, looking forward to working some more in the future.

Fantastic first shoot with Stu at Inspire Studios!

We worked through a mixture of implied nude, fashion and dance together. Stu is just such a lovely guy through and through, he was really friendly and chatty throughout the shoot. Stu made me feel relaxed instantly which made the shoot very enjoyable and allowed me to flow through poses with ease. Stu was incredibly respectful of levels at all times too which was very much appreciated and once again, made me feel very comfortable :)

I absolutely loved what I saw on the back of the camera too- and seeing the photos being posted now I am overjoyed with what Stu captured! Shooting with Stu was a wonderful way to spend a few hours. I really hope we get the chance to work again soon (we are in talks with mention of the pole!!)

Wholly professional and a great load of fun :)

Thanks again Stu :)

Highly recommended

It was lovely to work with Stu for the first time last week on my model day at Inspire studios.

Stu was great to work with, friendly, great person to chat to and he made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot.

We did a mixture of natural light work and studio flash, Stu also brought along with him some cool scatter gels which gave some cool effects with the lighting.

I would would love to work with Stu again and I am happy to recommend him to other models out there.

Thanks for a great shoot.

I've shot with Stu a few times and it is always a great experience! We get through a lot of lighting set ups and the time goes so fast (partly because we like to natter!). From a COVID-19 perspective, Stu has taken the risks seriously and so I felt the studio was very safe. It is easy to social distance in the space and hand sanitiser etc was available in what is already a very clean space. The photos get better and better every time too. Always happy to recommend Stu.

Another amazing shoot with Stu at his wonderful studio. We tried out some really interesting set-ups and the effects were fab. Needless to say, Stu has done a great job of making sure the shoot experience is all Covid secure and safe, really couldn't have been better. Thanks again Stu!

It was such a pleasure to see Stu again having worked with him once before. He booked a slot at my first studio day coming out of lockdown and it was great to work with him on some lovely art nude looks.

He is extremely knowledgable about lighting (and lots of other things too!), and the conversation and creativity was free-flowing, so much so that the time just flew by!

Stu has already loaded a stunning pic and I look forward to seeing more.

Highly recommended.

Always a pleasure to see Stu at the studio, equally an honour as he has his own studio! Stu is a true gentleman and was very respectful of the studio and the rules around Covid-19 as well as great with the model. He always uses the space well and creates some great images.

another amazing shoot with stu today! Always very professional and he was great adjusting to the covid regulations, everything was organised and thought of beforehand and felt safe and sanitised throughout, stu is a joy to work with and has a great eye for detail! Thanks again stu!

Just got home from my first shoot with stu! I have been wanting to work with him for a while now so was very please when he messaged me to get a date in!

Stu kindly picked me up and dropped me home and we shot at his studio, his studio is well equipped with lots of props he kindly let me use, hes very proffesional and has a very talented eye for lighting and directing you onto the poses that will suit your body. Back of the camera images looked amazing and I would 100% work with stu again! He even gifted me a petticoat that went well with my bridal lingerie set. Thank you so much for a brilliant morning stu!

After months of arranging due to location and schedules I finally got to shoot with stu.

Pre coms were fab and I couldn't wait to get into his home studio after hearing the list of his aerial equipment. Belive me this definitely lived up to the hype. A fantastic set up with brilliant equipment. Both he and his wife were lovely and welcoming and had such a stunning home. We had a fab half day creating some beautiful work. I really loved the plus of having a real ballet bar :) stu is a great photographer with a real passion for the art. We had a great first shoot and I’m looking forward to planning our next.

Definitely recommend, thank you stu for a lovely shoot and great hospitality :)

I had a fantastic second shoot with Stu today.

Stu contacted me for another Circus style shoot and I jumped at the idea. His studio is fab, he has all the gear and he knows what he wants to capture.

He was set up with a plan when I arrived, made sure I was wasn't cold, had tea and had time to physically warm up before the shoot.

He was on hand to pass me things whilst upsidedown and to spin me back towards the lights, he gives great direction and he let me see the back of the camera often so I could see what we were getting.

Also,despite Stu not being a Christmas fan, he didn't complain as I sang along badly to all the Christmas songs he allowed to continue to play on the radio whilst dancing like a crazy person...

And he happily went totally off track style wise with what we'd planned to shoot as ideas came to us.

He also provided a delicious lunch.

I had a great shoot and cannot wait to see the results!

I'd 1000% recommended Stu.
