Steven was very good with pre-shoot comms and came well prepared to the studio. He'd thought about the kind of looks he wanted to project, and was professional as well as personable. It was a positive experience and the images have come through with that spirit too.

I agreed to do a collaboration shoot with Steven in London. His pre-shoot comms were great, and we started with a good idea of what we were looking to achieve.

Steven is very personable and chatty, and we got on well. He needed little direction, and I'm pleased with the results. Definitely recommended.

Steven is very enthusiastic and friendly, and he was extremely patient with me as life got in the way of the shoot and the edit.

He doesn't need much direction if at all, so the shoot was easy, and a good time.

I would definitely work with him again.

If he reaches out to you for a collab, don't pass up on the opportunity.

Steven and I had our first shoot together and it was a great experience. We agreed to do some studio portraits and Steven came well prepared with outfits and ideas.

The session flowed effortlessly and we created a few looks in the limited time we had available. I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Steven and look forward to doing another shoot together.

Had my first shoot with Steven and I have to say from the start I knew Steven was going to be great to work with, excellent coms all the way through, We talked about ideas and settled on an urban style fashion shoot around my local town. It's rare to find a model like Steven, who has the determination and the drive to put the effort in. Steven arrived at the meet location on time and from the off we were chatting and time soon passed. Steven is easy to get along with, open to ideas and we soon ended up going for unusual angles and found ourselves in an abandoned location new to me, and we made good use of that. I highly recommend Steven and I look forward to working with him again.

Had a good shoot with Steven on his tour in my vicinity. I'd been wanting to add some male images to my portfolio for some time, so this was a good opportunity.

We arranged the shoot a while back and all went to plan. We met in a small town for a shoot in an urban setting, then shifted to a more rural setting at the side of a reservoir. This allowed to explore many different looks at the two locations.

Steven was easy to work with, and we had a relaxed shoot. A quick look at the raw images indicates it was a successful shoot.

I can highly recommend Steven.

Day two of our duo of shoots.

This time we went to the beach for our location shoot. Once again Steven arrived on time at my place, and we started with a Quick Look over our images from the previous day... then off we set to the beach.

Steven has been very flexible about our timing to align with the best of the weather and sunlight, and we were blessed with ideal conditions as a result of our planning and our mutual willingness to make it work.

Once again a great array of poses, fun and enthusiastic attitude, great abilities to work the process and to deliver clear abilities and instant improvements when working outside of previous experience and comfort zone.

The whole day was a pleasure and just good company combined with a great professional approach. The great results are again much to the credit of his abilities and great attitude.

Thoroughly recommended once again.

Thanks again Steven for a day that surprisingly actually topped the previous really great shoot!

Steven contacted me to book a shoot. After a brief discussion it became clear that he had ideas ideal for both studio and location shoots. We concluded that two shoots over two days would be the best way to proceed. Upon this conclusion Steven worked up mood boards for both shoots, giving an excellent set of ideas to work from. Communications were excellent from the start.

Steven travelled to me for our first shoot in my home studio and arrived on time. We decided to sit down over a cuppa and discuss the shoot as a start point. He was friendly, open, bubbly and easy going.

When we got to shooting he instantly showed ability to provide numerous poses in a clear and easy to capture way. He also took direction brilliantly and showed a true spirit of collaborating with ideas and helping in the creative process.

I am certain the shoot benefited greatly from an excellent array of skills on his part, and the whole shoot gelled brilliantly with his easy going, helpful and fun approach.

He came equipped with a great selection of outfits and timed his outfit changes perfectly to fill our time perfectly. We got quite a few great sets of images in, covering a great variety of well considered styles. He was happy to try out ideas beyond his experience and comfort zone and quickly improved in new territory.

All in all, we had an excellent day and I found myself very pleased we would get to shoot again the next day. I can see that he will continue to grow as a model and expand his already good abilities rapidly as he progresses.

Highly recommended!

Thank you Steven for a great shoot.

Steven contacted me about doing a shoot and as he has such a good editorial look I was more than happy to do so and he came down from London as well. Pre Comms were excellent and he arrived with some great outfits as per the moodboard I had sent him beforehand.

Steven is like a breath of fresh air, he is so nice and so easy to work with. His work ethic is fantastic. He can pose well and needs little direction. He is expressive and talented and I am sure he will have a huge career in modelling.

You need to work with him before he is talent spotted and then hits the big time. This man is sure to go far. Throughly recommended.

Pre-shoot communications with Steven for a small camera club group shoot along Richmond riverside were excellent. He arrived punctually, his friendly and relaxed manner put everyone at ease and he was fully engaged with what we were trying to achieve with subtle addition of flash to the soft evening light. He created series of poses at the four locations we chose and patiently responded to direction as required, recreating poses precisely as we made adjustments to the off camera lighting. Group work is especially tiring for a model, Steven’s energy never flagged and my favourite images were in the dim light at the end of a three hour shoot. I can recommend him thoroughly, all the photographers who took part would do too, thank you Steven.

Had a great first shoot with Steven.

Arrived promptly and had good energy from the start. Steven had his own ideas to place into the shoot but was happy for me to take the lead in the areas that I want.

Really enjoyed working with him. Has a nice clean look and his shots help diversify my portfolio.

One of the black and white shots I took is among the favourites I've taken this year.

Steven is easy to get along with and great fun to work with. Comms were great all the way through.

The energy was great and the afternoon was a pleasure.

He's got a great personality, a fantastic array of poses, very enthusiastic and always very positive.

The results were fantastic and I'd definitely work with him again.

I had the pleasure of a shoot with Steven recently and I can honestly say what a pleasure it was, too!

Steven impressed me right from the start, not only with his beauty and graceful physique but with his open-minded intelligence and absolute willingness to embrace all the themes and makeup ideas presented; his passion for modelling just shines through!

Steven was endlessly patient, good humoured and very hard working throughout the shoot, taking direction beautifully but was able to add his own unique ideas, too, which made the shoot such a success.

I can't recommend Steven highly enough. Thank you, Steven.

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Steven. Excellent comms before the shoot and easily discussed ideas at each location to bring them to life. Steven worked hard to achieve each shot, posing naturally and open to direction too.

Still have lots of ideas for future work and looking forward to our next collaboration.

I had a great first shoot with Steven. Pre shoot comms were excellent, Steven arrive a few minutes early and very well prepared. A first shoot with me tends to be a 'get to know you' session, we chatted briefly and seemed to know each other very quickly!

Steven is very easy and relaxed to work with, very comfortable in front of the camera, it was a cold day so stayed mainly in the studio... It was productive and fun, plans are ready forming for a second location shoot in April..

All in all, I absolutely recommend Steven, you will have a great shoot with a very able model.

Steven is really great to work with. He doesn't need many directions and he is easy going. Great chat during the shoot and a very positive attitude.

I look forward to work with him again.

Steven is a really exceptional model! Not only does he have great range, he is facially and physically dynamic, always offering something new to shoot. He is also extremely personable and easy to talk with. I highly recommend working with him!

I worked with Steven on the 2nd of February. His communication before the shoot was very good. He had some very good ideas and was open to my ideas. I suggested shooting in the graffiti tunnel in central London and along the south bank. Steven’s communication was excellent, informing me of delays to his rail service. Once we started shooting I found my work easy. Steven knows how to pose and takes direction well. As we worked we chatted and the time slipped by. I look forward to working with Steven again.

Steven contacted me about a trade shoot and he came up to Milton Keynes. We started off outdoors at a local rural setting, including shooting with my car, before moving on to MK centre for more urban shots. Later in the day we returned to my home studio for a series of portraits. We both enjoyed the day. Steven is very easy to work with - chatty and friendly. He poses easily and we finished with a varied selection of images that we both liked. A very productive day.

Steven approached me for a shoot and I agreed - I don't often get the chance to work with male models. We discussed some ideas and settled on a "dirty background" theme in Fareham Studio.

Steven is good to work with, he has a very positive and "can do" attitude. During the shoot we worked together on outfits, props and lighting in a true spirit of collaboration and got some great images.

Definitely recommended - we're already discussing another shoot!
