Just come back from a shoot with Stu and Sorell Brown (MUA) and I can't praise him enough! Very friendly and immediately made me feel at ease. Would definitely recommend working with him and hopefully will be again. Can;t wait to see the results :)

I really enjoyed working with Stu, he is friendly, professional and easy to get on with.

He made me feel comfortable and welcome straight away.

He has a real passion for photography and it shines through in his dedication and enthusiasm.

He returned shots promptly and I love the outcome.

The time went by far too quickly and I would definitely work with him again.

This guy is just amazing. A great photographer, and a lovely all round person.

Picked me up from the station, and made me feel relaxed straight away.

Pre shoot comms were amazing, he knew exactly what we were going to do from the get go :) We both had a say in what we were going to shoot etc.

I'm so happy with the edits i've seen so far. Beyond anything i've got in my portfolio at the moment.

And would absolutely love to work with Stu again in the future.. if he'd have me :D

Having had my second shoot with Stu, I can safely say he is one of my favourite people to work with!

After rain destroyed our original plans, he set up his home studio and we came up with some fantastic shots!

He always seems to help me bring out something new, every time!

Very highly recommended, you'll never regret shooting with such a talented, friendly guy :-D

Having admired Stu's work for a while, I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with him, and how thrilled I am with the results - I am still getting new pretties in my Dropbox!

He invited me into his lovely home and I got to meet his beautiful family - I felt immediately at ease and had a very nice cup of tea :-D

We got on like an absolute house on fire, and I know he has more than a few blackmail images of me laughing my head off :-D He is polite, friendly, funny, warm, gives some fab direction and is everything you could want in a photographer.

If you get the chance to work with this amazing creative, jump at it - I know I will be, can it wait to work with him again!

Had an ace shoot with Stuart yesterday. Stuart came well prepared and we started after discussing ideas and sorting outfits. Stuart is great fun to work with. He has a brilliant sense of humour and we spend a lot of time chatting during the shoot over cups of tea and coffee. He had some wicked ideas to get the lights right and we also managed to get outside for some natural light shoots.

Stuart worked tireless and with the aim of perfection. I tried to convince him that he should still be in front of the camera as he is a very handsome feller and nowhere near as old as he thinks he is :)

The day went in no time and we were both exhausted but happy by the end of it. Stuart is wonderful to work with and I can't recommend him highly enough. Looking forward to work soon with him again.

Stuart is a great photographer to work with, friendly, gave very good direction and also the opportunity to really collaborate creatively! The pictures came back swiftly and I am very happy with the results, some of my favourite shots! The day ran smoothly and professionally. I recommend.

Another brilliant shoot with Stu! A real pleasure to work with and amazing images guaranteed. You'll never get rid of me now! Very highly recommended. Cant wait to see the rest of the images.

Stu was an absolute delight to work with this evening. He is laid back and friendly with a real passion for photography which makes him a pleasure to model for. I felt very relaxed throughout our shoot and enjoyed myself thoroughly. From what I've seen so far, the images look great and I'm excited to see the final edits.

I'd love to work with Stu again and I'd happily recommend him to other models.

I shot with the lovely Stu on day 2 of my Wales tour.

He kindly let me use his studio with another photographer the afternoon before and was also kind enough to put me up at his home.

We had a silly O'clock start time for the shoot but it was well worth getting up at 4am for! We got some brilliant images from our time together. Stu let me have lots input too which was great. The golden hour sunrise couldn't have been more beautiful! :)

As the shoot was finished by 8am (!) we spent the rest of the day relaxing and I had a brilliant day out with Stu's family. They all made me feel so welcome and I was really, really sad to leave! :(

I hope to work/ meet up with Stu again! What a lovely chap! :)

I'd always been impressed with the way Stu brings something different out of the models he works with. When I met him at one of the Gloucester socials, it all became clear; he said the words "you", "me", "pikey" and "fairground" – and that was all I needed to hear! We shot on a sunny Bank Holiday holiday at a very busy fun fair – a challenging location that could quite easily have been an impossible one with a lesser photographer. We had small crowds of people gawking at us most of the day, and even had to put up with some comedians jumping in front of the camera, but we weren't worried about looking like tits – we just went for it and nailed some cracking images.

Stu had a list of shots that he wanted to get, including some tricky time lapse stuff that required careful setting up, and once we'd aced those we did some hit-and-run guerrilla shots – including the pair of us jumping on a waltzer and nearly breaking our necks to get a cool image. Looking back at the day, I'd say it was mission accomplished! Stu is an absolute blast to hang out with, and that was really how the day felt; hanging out with a buddy and taking awesome shots. He's a real pro, but he's so easygoing that it didn't feel like work at all. Seriously hope we get to work together again, because he's bloody good!

Working with Stu was a blast, stu is very creative photographer with lots of skill and it shows in his work by his lovely images. Great energy and a lovely person to boot, what a pleasant shoot it was.

I would love to work with stu again and he is highly recommended from me, thank you :)

I have worked with Stu twice now and both times he was amazing, for the black swan shoot we tried out different ways to resemble a bird and the shots looked very stylised and creative and I loved all of them. For the zombie shoot we created a storyboard and followed it making the transition from a ditsy girl posing, to zombies following her and ultimately get eaten. After the shoot he took different headshots of me in black and white which helped me gain more confidence in this field. I will definitely recommend Stu to anyone and will hopefully be working with him again soon! Thank you!

I had my first shoot with Stu today, very friendly and welcoming gentlemen.

Stu, had prepared the shoot with alot of effort to get the rock chick look I wanted.

And we had some fantastic pictures by the end :-)

I instantly felt comfortable in Stu home.

I highly recommend to anyone and already arranging the next shoot.

Thank you :-) x

I can NOT recommend Stu enough. This has been my second shoot with him, and this time working with Serena as well. A lot of photographers just don't know what to do with 2 models on a set, but Stu never failed to either direct for great composition in the shot, or think of ideas for us. He embraced the concepts I gave him, working hard and articulately until I was happy (not an easy task). There was a lot of hassle with transport to which he was very understanding. Time always flies working with him, and the shots are phenomenal. We're already planning our third shoot; don't pass up a chance to work with him!

I worked with Stu this evening after having an 8 month break. Absolutely fantastic photographer who put's you at ease, he's professional and I wouldn't hesitate to shoot with him again. I cannot wait to see the images :) Thank you.

Had a spiffingly good shoot with Stuart today at my home studio. He is a great guy, with a friendly, professional attitude towards his work and others. Despite him claiming to be relatively new to photography Stuart approaches shoots with great technical knowledge, organisation and creative ideas.

Punctual, well prepared and his pre-shoot communications were great.

Stuart was relaxed, friendly and good to chat to during the shoot, and we worked towards several ideas which produced some great images.

Thanks again for a great shoot, and hope to see you again soon.

Highly recommended,

Fawna xx

I worked with Stu yesterday and I believe it was one of the best shoot I've done so far! Great studio and a super nice guy. Stu provides great props and scenery and is full of brilliant ideas. He certainly knows what he's doing and is very clearly passionate about his work. Photos were also finished very quickly and were actually back to me later that night. I recommend him very highly and definitely hope to work with him again.

Just come back from shooting with Stu yet again! What can I say? Was awesome shooting with an awesome concept! I braved the cold balcony with wet hair and was worth it! [Yes, was freezing!] We got wicked shots and had the usual fun-filled and laugh while getting creative. I hope to shoot with Stu again and again and again. Don't hesitate to book a shoot with him, it's not something you will regret!
