Steve hired me for an album cover shoot and I was extremely pleased to be selected.

I believed I could tell from the off, that he was a lovely chap; and it was totally true!

He has a wonderfully creative imagination and eye, explains what he means well, and is a genuine character making me feel relaxed instantly.

Absolutely very highly recommended, should you be lucky enough to get the chance to work with him!

I had a shoot with Steve today at Shutterworks studio in Southampton. Steve applied for a casting call I put up and he was the best match in terms of style. Communicating with Steve before the shoot went really well. And we both mapped out what we wanted from the shoot. He drove all the way to me and kindly picked me up from my place. Steve is probably one of the friendliest photographers I've worked with. He is very relaxed, polite and he also has a good sense of humour so working with him was very easy. He directed the shoot very well but he was also very open to my suggestions. I hope I'll get a chance to work with him again.

I worked with Steve today during my studio day at the Art Asylum. We didn't have too much of a plan but as soon as he saw the location, I could see Steve's brain whizzing through so many ideas! He is a true creative but also laid-back and takes the time to communicate and perfect the image. He also brought me food - instant win! We are already chatting about our next shoot which I'm looking forward to a lot. Highly recommeded!

I had a superb shoot with Steve during my studio day at The Natural Light Space Studio in Northampton. His pre comms were great and we shot a variety of different image styles during our time together.

The shoot was very enjoyable and relaxed; I had a lot of fun working with Steve.

I love what I've seen so far and can't wait to see more of the results. Can't wait until our next shoot! :D

A real pleasure to work with and such a lovely guy! Highly recommended and a true professional :) go work with him (-:

Steve contacted me to do another in his series of book cover commissions. and after a good chat we organised the shoot. The brief was detailed and communications were extremely professional. We shot at The Barn Studios near Stratford and it was a very easy going affair, once set up we were off and Steve was spot on in his Direction and we flowed through the shots he wanted to achieve very quickly.

Very friendly, easy going professional guy and so enthusiastic!! a real pleasure to work with!

Would definitely take an opportunity to work with him again and look forward to seeing the final output.

Cheers Steve :)

Such a lovely guy! I worked with Steven on a book cover; from a models perspective; he gave excellent direction, was very patient and professional, and from a costume designers perspective; he is really creative, and has very clear ideas and a genuine passion for his art. Very down to earth person and a photographer with a real talent! I hope to work with him again.

I had the opportunity to shoot with Steve two weeks ago for a project which wasn't "the norm" for me, I was very excited to shoot with him after seeing his work.

I would definitely recommend Steve as the level of his photography and editing is outstanding, he had great communication, was very helpful with advising me on poses and helping me choose which sort of outfit suited the role best & above all very easy to work/get along with. It was a pleasure shooting with him and hope we can work together again in the future! :)

I worked with steven on a workshop recently organised by the wardrobe department. Steven made me feel relaxed straight away and he had a great sense of humour too! I found him really easy to talk to and he had clear ideas of what he wanted to capture so i had no problem taking direction from him :) also what's good about steven is that he noticed the little details and made sure everything was perfect before taking the shot :) he takes great care in his work and i absolutely love the image he has done of me so thankyou steven :-D i hope to work with you again :-D

I met Steven at a workshop organised by Karen Boyle for which I was a model. I didn;t get to spend as much time as I would like speaking with the photographers there but Steven was great. Not only was he really easy-going, he knew what he wanted to get the best photos, as well as allowing me creative freedom to pose freely whilst he shot away :)

I'm impressed with what I have seen and hope it's not the last time our paths will cross :)

It was a pleasure! :)

I had a lot of fun working with Steve. We shot in Studio Blanco in Oxford, and he provided snacks and drinks and was easy-going and a good laugh. I received the first of the images and it is absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend working with Steve and I would shoot with him again.

I love working with Steven!

He is an incredibly talented photographer & digital artist who I have had the pleasure to work with on a couple of occasions.

Steve is an absolute gentleman who is a lot of fun to work with. He is polite, considerate and is very easy to get along with. He made me feel 100% comfortable on both shoots and I thoroughly enjoy working with him! The end results were outstanding!

I look forward to working with him again in the future. Highly recommended and a credit to the industry! :-)

I had the pleasure of working with Steven a while back at Studio Blanco. He is obviously a very talented man and it was so great to do something totally different! Overall it was a fun shoot and the outcome was amazing! I would love to work with him again and would have no problem in recommending him to others. Thanks! :)

Since I met Steven at a Studio Blanco networking day, I wanted to work with him. We finally got the chance at a recent workshop with Brian Worley.

Steven is a joy to work with - friendly, funny and just LOOK at what he does in PS - he's a creative genius! Can't wait to work with him again!
