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.

What a great guy Stu is!!! Starting off he was ever so kind to put me and Tillie up for a couple of nights whilst touring which we are so thankful for as him and his wife done so much for us, we are more appreciative of your hospitality than you know!

As a person you feel very safe in his company and can easily see what a genuine person he is. Stu is very easy going as well as easy to get along with which is exactly what you want to see before shooting with someone.

When we did shoot i was astounded by his home studio! It was bloody better than alot of "proper studios" we have been in! The HEATED infinity curve was an awesome addition as well, you won't find many of them in the country, that's for sure.

Our shoot with Stu was Awesome, it was relaxed but full of creative ideas that made for a fun shoot throughout, although we finished slightly early we was more than happy to carry on as when photographers bring awesome ideas it really sparks our love for the job!

We really look forward to seeing Stu again in future as our time at his household was a real highlight to our tour.

P.S love the images so far mate, you've edited loads!

100% reccomended, a true gent in the industry!

I couldn't believe it had been 6 years since our first ever shoot - wow!! Time sure does pass us by fast. So much has happened since then yet Stu and his lovely wife Gill were as wonderful as I remembered them to be.

Myself and Leon stayed with them as our accommodation plans had unfortunately had to be changed at last minute.

Stu is a great photographer, he's very creative with his studio which has been cleverly built and designed inside so that it has lots of different areas to shoot including a ballet bar, lots of aerial/hoop/rope possibilities and even under floor heating. It was actually too warm at times haha (can't complain usually about being too warm in a studio)..

Myself and Leon had so much fun playing around with the props in the studio and with different lighting. The results speak for themselves.

Stu is very kind and thoughtful of the models well being at all times, ensuring we had a break after 2 hours to get some daylight and drinks/snacks. I really cannot recommend him and Gill high enough.

Can't wait to visit again,

I shot with Stu today after he responded to my casting call looking for autumnal location shots.

Pre comms were excellent so we both arrived knowing exactly what we wanted to achieve. The heavens opened and Stu was prepared with not only a "plan B" ...but a "plan C" too!! Luckily, plan C wasn't needed and we managed to catch some sun between the rain and I'm so happy with what I saw on the back of the camera!

Stu directed me as needed, was patient, and very easy to be around.

I hope to shoot with Stu again in the future if he'll have me! Thoroughly enjoyed myself today.

Thanks so much Stu!

Had the pleasure of working with Stu again after we had met last year on a group shoot.

Stu had replied quickly to my casting and pre comms were great. I was warmly welcomed into his studio and we managed to get through a variety of lingerie sets in a range of set ups.

Stu is a friendly & professional photographer. His studio is fully kitted out, you name it he has got it! He knew exactly how to get that perfect image. The pictures i have seen are fantastic.

Conversation flowed and i felt comfortable throughout. Would be great to work with Stu again in the future.

Recommend 100%, thank you :)

First time shooting with Stu, doing duo work with a new model. Stu was helpful and supportive and made us both feel very comfortable. And provided delicious vegan pizza!

Thanks for a fun shoot Stu :)

Thank you so much Stu for attending my art nude workshop event at South House Retreat. Stu was a fantastic participant and I really enjoyed shooting with him.

He is easy going, professional and fun and I would love the opportunity to work with him again. As you can see from the images, he got some fantastic results. Highly recommended.

My first shoot with Stu and fantastic to find a local photographer. Great pre comms, lovely warm studio and a fantastic cup of tea.

Stu allowed me to pose freely and respected my levels. We worked quickly through different ideas and got we created a range of sets and outfit changes. A really enjoyable day and I look forward to arranging a future shoot again. Thank you Stu

Kind regards Hannorah

My second shoot with Stuart was on location and wow what a day we had! All thanks to Stuart's perfect planning and experience. He overcame the obstacles of a bustling location and the images speak for themselves. We traveled back in time! We had a laugh, chatted all day and I'd have no hesitations in working together again.

I shot with Stu on Friday and it was an excellent shoot.

Pre-communications were great, so I knew exactly how he wanted to structure the day.

On the day he was such a relaxed, chatty and welcoming host who provided chocolate and lunch, which kept me going for sure.

Stu is quick with his camera and was welcoming me being creative with outfit changes and poses, as well as putting in creative suggestions himself which was awesome for a fast working, bundle of energy like myself!

The lighting he has creates a warm glow and the day went super fast!

He shoots to get the right angles so you feel at ease and allowed me to move through creative poses seamlessly whilst he snapped away quickly and showed me some beautiful images off the back of the camera,

so excited to see more!

In fact one shoot just wasn't enough, so we agreed another shoot will definitely be in the pipeline!

As an aerialist and a dancer I would highly recommend Stu's photography to any creatives! (':

Stu is a lovely guy and a creative photographer.

We shot in his studio and he was full of ideas, organised with outfit changes and just great company.

Very relaxed atmosphere which included lunch breaks and viewing the back of the camera, impressed by the images we created.

After we travelled to the Salisbury social together - Absolutely love working with Stu.

Highly recommend! x

My first shoot with Stu yesterday and what a fantastic shoot it was!!!

Myself and Mr NPR put out a casting call for an erotic duo shoot. Stu was quick to reply and get us booked.

Stu's pre comms where brilliant. He showed us images of what he wanted from the shoot and gave us plenty of ideas to work with.

Shoot day came, and, given that this was my first duo I was pretty nervous. Stu instantly made me feel welcome and at ease.

The three of us had a lot of fun throughout the shoot. Stu gave us lots of direction but also allowed us to explore our own ideas.

Pizza was for lunch, my favourite!!! And he also provided plenty of other refreshments.

I'd love to shoot with Stu again, I've already seen images from the shoot and cannot wait to see more!!!

Thanks for a great shoot!!!

MR. NPR

Had the pleasure of a First Shoot by Stu Yesterday at his lovely home studio - WOW what a environment i have to add.

This fine gentleman was a excellent host. Welcomed me by guiding me into his parking space's upon getting out the car a firm handshake was exchanged and kindly offered me a freshly made hot coffee.

He also has the most adorable dog's that you will just want to take home. So moving onto his communication and time keeping skills. He is very prompt with messaging with regards to details, shoot times, clothing, prop's and idea's not a detail was missed.

My model partner was Miss_C - We allowed for Stu to have free reign over all idea's and suggestions for theme's and upon the day of the shoot he continued excellent direction for the idea's he wished to try and capture.

His studio space is great he has some many good things to take advantage of.

He has a great lighting technique and he works with a real relaxed feeling about himself.

He is serious and professional at all times.

Made it extremely easy to shoot with.

Recommended highly to all creatives in this industry.

Would easily work with him again.

Thank you for the great shoot.

Stu and I had our first shoot at his home studio - omg which is amazing by the way, I've seen many pro studios less well set up! Pre-shoot comms were perfect and everything was sorted with no problems. We largely shot aerial hoop/lollypop hoop and Stu was really considerate of both my levels and the effort required. Absolutely recommended to other models with no hesitation :) hope we can shoot again soon!
