References for Regardez-Moi

Decided to make the considerable trip across the land to spend some time with Stu on a workshop. Stu has a real easy going way about him and can teach without preaching. Feels more like a shoot with a mate than tuition and yet you come away realising just how much actually sunk in.

Well worth the drive!

Regardez-Moi was incredibly kind, welcoming, warming and professional making the model feel instantly safe and at ease. Under no circumstances was i made to feel pressured or uncomfortable, i was at ease at all times as well as learning a lot and having n incredible amount of fun.

Ignore the date on this reference as it was a couple weeks ago since I shot for the 3rd time with Stu and Christmas/NY turned my brain to mush and I forgot to leave a reference!

Anywho, Stu is always a laugh to work with, he's funny, he's witty and a very talented photographer. Alongside KRG MUA (Katie Green), it's an absolute abundance of laughter having those two to shoot with, I am never uncomfortable around them and quite happy to roll around on the floor on in the case of our last shoot, be caked in glitter, have a fake golden tree balanced across my naked body and have my nipples painted bronze (which then took some good scrubbing with a toothbrush to get off).

I never get tired of being in the company of Stu and would happily continue to shoot until things start to sag and I can tuck my boobs into my socks.

I had the honour of shooting with this fantastic photographer for the 5th time on my recent South Wales mini tour, which as usual, was fun and very relaxed!

Stu makes me instantly relaxed with his chilled out attitude, he is professional in every way but still maintains the fun and enthusiasm that encourages creativity - even when he was under the bed, he remained in the inspired zone (only Stu can get into weird positions or tight spaces to get the right shot haha) and he brought in a whole new level of bizarre lighting set-ups & props to play with....and it really did look fab!!

This is a photographer who is officially one of my faves to work with, he is magical with the camera and he makes me laugh and the images are always a bit special....what more could you ask for? Can't recommend this amazing dooood enough, if you get the chance, you gotta work with him :)

I shot with Stu for the first time on Monday and am already incredibly eager for the next opportunity I will get to shoot with this fantastic man!

Excellent communication beforehand and all the way through the shoot, and I had already received edits back by the same evening.

This guy has such a warm and welcoming personality, I never once felt uncomfortable in his presence. Add to that a pretty awesome taste in music and we had a great laugh while producing some brilliant images!

I would highly recommend this photographer to everyone and, as I said, can't wait to shoot with him again! :)

Had a wonderful shoot at the beginning of December with Stu at his fab home/studio. Felt comfortable with him instantly and have honestly been blown away with the wonderful photographs he captured.

Truly looking forward to shoot two!

Would highly recommend working along side Stu!

I have been to two studio days run by Stuart, both have been superb and enjoyable experiences. Stuart is extremely enthusiastic about photography which works nicely with his talent of capturing superb, atmospheric shots. I have been able to use his set ups to help me achieve some wonderful shots (including my first FPI). Would I recommend working with Stuart, too right I would.

I met Stu at a studio day at his home, and i am so glad I attended the event!

Stu was welcoming from the moment I arrived, and created a great atmosphere throughout the whole day!

Not only this, he's clearly a very talented photographer with a great knowledge, and a great eye for a shot. I would recommend him to both models, and any photographers interested in attending one of his studio days!

Cheers Stu! Look forward to the next one!

I had the pleasure of having my second studio day with Stu at Chez Moi and what an incredible day! He is wonderfully welcoming and easy to get on with, making sure that you're comfortable even when his hot water runs out and you're stood in an ice cold shower (i'm sure i'm not the only model who's experienced this)! I'm always so chuffed when I see the images role out; he has an amazing talent at photography and boosts your portfolio massively. I really hope I get to work with Stu again in the future; highly reccommend to any model or photographer! See you again! x

I have ahad the pleasure of of working with Stu on several occasions now, each has been an education, memorable for the banter and great images that came from each shoot. I love the low cost low key approach to lighting which always puts me out of the comfort zone a strobist junkie, but I like a challenge.

Highly recommended & looking forward to next opportunity - Thanks Stu

Last night Stu transformed the landing of my bare (and a little bit poky) terraced house into an old gothic stately home. What this man can do with minimal lighting and an old armchair that we found in the street is just magic. Stu is one of those photographers who eases you into the shoot with such finesse that you act and react on instinct with each other - when Stu directed me, I knew just what he was going for; he is almost too easy to work with. Stu seems to see every obstacle presented to him as an opportunity: bannister obscuring the shot? Shoot through the railings! Minimal space? Balance upside down off a chair! And yet it all came to him so naturally - he is a real artist. On top of this, Stu is just such a kind, easy going guy. I can't stress how important it is for photographers to put their models at ease, and he did that from the outset. I really recommend that anyone who can works with Stu. I'd jump at the chance to work with him again!

Oh - and I've never received images back from a shoot so fast! Well impressed!!

Lucky me having the pleasure to work with stu:) he is so much fun to work with and such a lovely friendly guy. He booked an awesome hotel room and his pre communication was fab. He was so down to eart and is one of the nicest people Iv worked with I was very flattered. He is top quality and very professional. From the first few minutes I felt 100% comfortable with him. He was open and honest and respected my levels. We got lots of amazing photos I was thrilled with them from the back of the camera. I can not recommend him enough, he was very empowering. 110% work with stu u will not be disappointed 😊

BIG BIG thank you much love Elle x

I had a fantastic hotel room shoot with Stu last night and feel I am very lucky to have worked with such a friendly, relaxed and talented photographer! Pre-shoot communications were impeccable, and we had a great time during chatting and working out the best places in the room to use as sets. Stu had lots of great ideas and pose suggestions but also let me pose independently once I had got into the swing of things! Definitely work together with this guy if you get the chance to :)

How could I forget to leave this awesome chap a reference??

He was very accomodating, allowing me to come straight from work and cook my dinner in his downstairs oven (despite many interruptions from the blasted, hyper-sensitive smoke alarm; and before you say anything, it wasn't my cooking!! New / unused oven...), then setting up while I did my makeup and got my outfits together.

We had a lot of fun, laughs, and above all, we got some AMAZING shots, very different from the stuff I've been shooting lately.

We've had so many shoots, but I will always come back to work with this chap. Amazing photographer and I would consider to be a great friend (by now, anyway!!).

Don't hesitate to shoot with him!!

KRG

I have so much to say about Stu, all good things of course!

We should have worked with each other earlier for sure but good things come to those who wait! A beautiful home, great space for shooting and wonderful company are just few of the amazing things about shooting with Stu. His work is flawless too!

If you get the chance to work with Stu- as a model or on one of his workshops- do it!

Worked with Stu this week for the first time...been wanting to work with him for a while now and finally managed to get a shoot in :)

Stu is a great photographer and captured some fab beauty shots throughout the shoot. Images which im really pleased about :)

He has a great personality and is so easy to get along with. We had lots of laughs and anyone that can put up with my crazy personality all evening is a gem in my eyes 😜

Look forward to working with Stu again soon on a second shoot we got planned. Highly recommended :)

I had my first shoot with Stu and it was just amazing. He is definitely one of the most enthusiastic & professional photographer I've ever met. As soon as I stepped out of the train station, Stu welcomed me with such nice smile. He is so friendly and nice!

During the make up session with the talented MUA, Anna, Stuart stood by the whole time, waited patiently, and cracked some jokes. He gave clear directions and was encouraging, thus making me feel confident during the shoot. That definitely made for some lovely moments.

Stu is truly an inspiration and I can't recommend him enough. I really looking forward to any opportunities to shoot with Stuart in the future. Thank you very much Stu!

I had a great shoot with Stu this evening and am so excited to see the final images!

We set up a bit of a casual shoot, with quick pre comms, Stu was great to communicate with before the shoot and made it really easy to arrange a date and time.

Had such a laugh, great company as well as a brilliant photographer :)

Highly reccomended from me!

Did my first shoot with Stu yesterday and all I have is praise for him. it was a pleasure from the moment i stepped off the train. he is such a friendly easy going guy who is filled with creativity. our shoot was a true collaboration to create images, both feeding off each other giving ideas and then seeing where that took us, and that made for some really beautiful moments.

I will definitely be looking to work with Stu again both infant and behind the camera and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone...
