What an absolute pleasure it was to meet Steve at a group shoot organized by Photography Sessions Days.

The theme a WW2 RAF reenactment.

Steve is not only a lovely guy but as you can see from his portfolio a great photographer with a great eye for a shot.

I could of quite happily shot with Steve for the whole day and I am sure we would still not run out of ideas to capture.

I can't wait to see the final images and really hope we get to shoot again soon.

So if you want some magic added to your portfolio check out Merlin he will make it happen! :-{)

From the moment we started working together, it was evident that you possess a remarkable eye for detail and a deep understanding of the studio environment. Your ability to create beautiful compositions, play with lighting, and bring out the best in your model is truly extraordinary. You transformed the studio into a world of art, capturing moments that exceeded my expectations.

I want to commend your professionalism and organization throughout the entire process. Your clear communication, promptness, and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly. Your expertise and guidance made me feel comfortable and confident, allowing me to express myself fully during the shoot.

Your friendly and approachable demeanor created a warm and inviting atmosphere in the studio. Your genuine care for your model shines through, and it made the experience enjoyable and relaxed. Your patience, encouragement, and ability to bring out the best in me as a model were truly appreciated.

Steve and his partner Wendy came along to our 'Shadow of a Doubt' event.

As we split photographers into pairs they got to shoot together which was a wonderful dynamic, they work together incredibly well and each have their own individual ideas they would like to work on so that they get totally different images. Steve and Wendy got on with all the models really well and it was a pleasure hosting them :)

We hope they are able to attend another event in future and can happily recommend them!

Met Merlin at a photoshoot with Carla Monaco in Plymouth and was immediately impressed by his friendly manner, his confidence behind the camera and the wide range of his photographic interests, which he was willing to discuss knowledgeably. As a fellow Fuji shooter we had a lot to talk about. Highly recommended.

I shot with Merlin LRPS for the first time yesterday, we fired through all his crazy ideas very quickly and the new hours went is super fast.

He has some fantastic ideas and it was nice to try something new. I'm glad we finally had the chance to shoot!

Hopefully we will shoot again soon.

Much love,

Eve

Had a fab shoot with Merlin at Studio Hire Plymouth. Merlin is a great photographer and was a pleasure to work with. You will find him to be most sociable and approachable and will put any sitter at ease with his softly spoken Welsh accent and humour.

Had a shoot today in the early hours of the morning and it was such a dream! Lots of ideas bouncing around, and general laughter. Brilliant photographer and lots of fun. Would definitely recommend. Until next time!

Artemis Fauna

I worked with Steve on the 'Vintage Vixens' workshop hosted by myself and Chris Conway at Studio Hire Plymouth late last month.

It was a great event and the set ups, images and photographers who had booked on were all super!

I had a blast and the time went by too fast!

I hope I can work with Steve again, perhaps on a 1-2-1 basis next time I am local. Thank you very much for booking on! :)

Had a shoot with Merlin a week ago and it was great. Merlin is very professional and had great communication before the shoot. He was sure about what photos he wanted to create and knew how to get them. He was personable and easy to get on with, with a relaxed and casual approach to shooting. He's a really lovely guy and a pleasure to work with.

I had a really fun time shooting despite the weather and would definitely recommend him.

Thanks, Merlin!
