Steve and I shoot quite regularly- every couple of months which has allowed us develop a strong working relationship when we can push our creative boundaries.

This shoot was no different.

Steve is an excellent boudoir photographer. Every time we shoot, we seem to find a slightly new twist whether it be angles of shots or looks within the studio.

We also commit to doing one completely different set which is a little experimental on both parts. This time it was a Burlesque Artful Dodger type character in main lighting area.

Steve is great at listening to ideas and taking on board concepts and generally being able to play around with lighting set ups to see if it will enhance the shoot.

I've said it many times before- precoms are great and delivery of un-edited images are very prompt.

See ya again in a couple of months!

A change of plan for this day which was originally meant to be a duo shoot but the other model couldnt make it.

Did a mix of classical boudoir shoots along with some more cosplay type images which involved composite editing work.

This guy has been holding out on me!

His edits were fabtanstic!

Usual pre and post comms were great. I shoot with Steve quite often so we know what each other likes,and are able to push each other creatively.

We have a rather special project in the planning that utilises all of our skills collectively

Can't wait!

After a last minute cancelation with another photographer, Steve stepped on to fill his shoes.

Complete change of wardrobe packed in less than 14 hours as we had come up with an entirely different shoot concept.

Tried out a different way of working. Steve and I are confortable enough with each others capabilities to try out new concepts and ideas.

Managed to capture some great images as always.

See you next month as scheduled

Highly recommended.

I just had another lovely shoot with Steve at his studio and had another really exciting session. Steve is enthusiastic and has an eye for detail and really does catch the moment. His pre shoot communication is excellent but he still allows room for the shoot to be spontaneous and flow, which makes for a really enjoyable and rewarding day. He is highly recommended

I had another lovely shoot with Steve at his studio. We worked in video, which was something new to me and he was great in providing support and guidance as we discussed ideas for the shoot.

Steve has a good sense of humour and is very respectful of the model. It was a really enjoyable day and I am looking forward to seeing the results.

I would highly recommend Steve to any level of model.

Had a fantastic shoot with Steve on Saturday.

It was my first time shoot with Steve, but he make me so comfortable straight way, and all the way throughout the shoot.

Steve boudoir style is so lovely as he got such a lovely studio to fit the whole sense.

I really had such fun shooting with Steve.

The photos look amazing! Thank you so much

And look forward to working with you again.

Had a great first shoot with Steve and model Rudolfo, Steve's pre comms were on point right up to the day of shooting. Steve was very easy to get along with and we created everything we aimed to and more. Steve was professional yet down to earth and easy to have a laugh with. The studio was warm and all set up on arrival, Steve was open to ideas and also let us shoot independently and roll with it.

I am looking forward to shooting again in future and seeing what else we create together :)

I had the pleasure of having a second shoot with Steve at his lovely studio. Steve is fun, professional, enthusiastic, works hard and the results are super.

His approach is ideal in allowing you to relax whilst at the same time he makes you give your best. It makes for a great experience, which is rewarding and I am looking forward to working with him again soon.

I would highly recommend.

I managed to get an hour with Steve at his studio after finishing with another photographer. Steve is very professional and makes you feel at ease. Within that time we managed to capture some lovely images. I would definitely recommend Steve to any model and I hope to get the opportunity to work with him again soon.

This is now my 4th time shooting with Steve. Everytime our ideas just get better and better.

His pre & post comms are great. Raw files are delivered promptly and he is a photographer who actually delivers on his promises in terms of providing edited images.

He 100% knows his stuff shooting boudoir.

An absolute and consumate professional (makes a great cup of builder's strength tea too)

Highly recommended and would have no hesitation in shooting with again.

Shot with Steve again today. No matter the number of times we have shot together each shoot there's a crazy new idea to try.

This time Steve let me set off my snow machine in the studio.

We had such a blast.

Thanks for putting up with me and my wacky ideas.

Highly recommended

Possibly my 4th or 5th shoot with Steve however, everytime we shoot we come up with at least one experimental set which neither of have done before.

Today was no different, pushing each other to shoot more challenging things.

Thanks for putting up with my wacky ideas where 9/10 times we manage to pull off an amazing shot.

I'll be back in 2022 with yet another idea for the bath tub!

Steve as always is amazing to shoot with, comms and surperb and the images speak for themselves.

An absolute BALL of a time shooting with Steve at his studio.

Long time planning so naturally we had enough ideas for several shoots....however made full use of the glorious sunshine that stopped by and got several boudoir, lounging, corset and stockings sets as well as use of moody lighting for gel set.

Loved it! Thanks so much. Super speedy file turnarounds too!

Had a great time shooting with Steve, he's very easy to work with and put me right at ease with my first shoot in eight years! Great communication and full of advice. Would 100% recommend with him and work with him again.

Another great shoot with Steve. This time it was a duo shoot that I had arranged, Steve was happy to go through my ideas and put forward his own too.

Always love working with Steve and can't wait to see the final images

Mel4nie

Shot with Steve at his studio where we did an experimental stroboscopic shoot where the theme was 'movement' along with some classic boudoir shots.

Think we were both surprised at how good some of the images turned out and the use of the wind machine added a great dynamic.

Great shoot. Pre and post comms were super as always. Proofs were provided promptly after the shoot. Steve is great to work with.

Next shoot is already booked back in!

Highly recommended

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve in his studio for a group shoot.

Steve and Duncan who I'd shot with before, both arranged it well, everything flowed. The time slots were kept too.

Steve made sure I knew where everything was and that I was very comfortable. The conversation flowed as Steve is a great guy!

We ended up getting some amazing images and I'm so so happy as some are going for publication so thank you again Steve. Hope to work together soon.
