I’m new to modelling and this was my first Nude shoot, so understandably I was feeling a little nervous before hand. However Stu was so quick to put my nerves to rest.

He spent a lot of time giving me some very helpful info and tips before we even started shooting! And then when we started the shoot, what can I say, he was AMAZING! Stu gave me so much direction and guidance throughout that any nerves I had soon melted away. He had a lot of props and ideas already prepped and knows exactly what will work for you personally as a model, and we created so many different looks and images that I was instantly in love with!

The fact that he has gone out of his way to help me start up my portfolio with such amazing shots, I couldn’t be more grateful! The time literally just flew by, we could have kept shooting for hours, I loved every second of it! Can’t wait to shoot again and after reading your profile I shall be expecting some Jaffa cakes next time ;)

Had the opportunity to shoot with Stu again and what a pleasure it was! It was great to catch up, as always we had a laugh, produced amazing images & was directed very well. He's a fantastic photographer, very talented so of course I'd highly recommended & can't wait to shoot again :)

Feeling very excited on my way to shoot with Stu! Our first studio shoot together. The last shoot was a relaxed outdoor shoot that was a fabulous day. I knew for sure this would be great fun and we would make images to be proud of together.

Stu is a wealth of knowledge and knows exactly how to make every model look their absolute naturally beautifully best!

Patient, fun, focused and a truly great guy to create with!

Thank you for spending your time with me, editing and sharing the most gorgeous images.

I had my first ever shoot with Stu yesterday, its been a long time coming! I've loved his work for absolutely ages and left on such a high yesterday.

Stu had so much patience with me (I was so nervous and desperately trying to hide it!) I love the direction he gives, he knows what looks great: from angles, to posing, to lighting, to outfits... the man just knows!!

From the moment I arrived Stu made me feel so comfortable, the whole day was such a pleasure from start to finish and I'm so thankful that I got to work with him. Stus work speaks for itself and I'm still fangirling at the fact that I got pictures by Starglider!!

I honestly cannot recommend this man more highly if I tried and absolutely will work with him time and time again. Thank you so much Stu!

Stu is a bloody awesome human, he is such great company and has become a very good friend of mine over the years. But for some bizarre reason we had just never got around to shooting together! So we were determined to fit in a little shoot whilst I was visiting him recently, and I'm so glad we did :D

We worked our way through a few different looks and I absolutely LOVE the results we got together! Highly recommended by me :)

Had an amazing shoot with the super talented Stu today!

He’s super friendly and a great laugh which is realistically one of the most important things :p

On top of that he has a huge wardrobe, great skills with lighting and is full of creative ideas!

Our shoot was very chilled yet we got so much done, the images look amazing and I had a lot of fun!

Can’t wait to share the results and would highly recommend to other models :)

Amazing shoot with Stu last Sunday, he really knows his stuff to create beautiful images. So down to earth and a pleasure to work with. We had such a laugh and looking forward to working with him in the future. Highly recommend you book a shoot, your missing out if you don’t.

Another predictably awesome shoot with Stu in the bag! We had loads we wanted to get done and even with time restraints, he smashed it and we ended up with some gorgeous work, along with a really cool video!

Always recommend Stu. He buys you breakfast.

My fave by a LONG SHOT!

This guy... not only is he so welcoming and warm as a person. He is insanely talented!!!

His direction was very professional. He knew what he wanted and guided me along the way so I never felt lost. There was never a lull. If anything we had to force ourselves to stop shooting..

We had such a giggle and the 80s/90s tunes were bangin! Singing along to Spice Girls together while shooting in the nood will be a treasured memory 😂

ALWAYS shoot with this guy. He just stepped my port up MAJOR 🖤

Thank you fwend 🥰 Excited for our shooture together xx

P.s. Next time VR is on!

My second shoot with Stu and once again had an absolute blast.

We laughed, laughed some more and took some epic shots. Stu is remarkably professional and makes you feel extraordinarily comfortable; he has pushed me out of my comfort zone and have created some epic images as a result. He also does a rather good kat whatsherface impression from eastenders...

SLATER. Kat slater. They come free of charge, so take advantage of that!

Looking forward to many more in the future!

Stu is a hoot!

He is very chilled and relaxed and supplies copious numbers of jaffa cakes!

His pre comms are excellent, and despite a list of pre-requisites (understandably so) he was very professional, fun and easy going.

He had lots of extra clothing for us to work with and we tried a huge number of looks and I enjoyed every second. The simplicity yet sophistication of his set up I feel worked really well and I've walked away really happy with the results.

Thank you stu!!!

I had my 4th brilliant shoot with Stu at his home studio.

You can see why I go back to work with him from his creative art images which I admire. This time, I have already received gorgeous images and I LOVE all of them!!! His standard is sky high and his creativity is endless.

I am really looking forward to create more awesome images with Stu.

Highly recommended!!!

Thank you for the brilliant shoot and gorgeous images!

Had such a good shoot with Stu today, didn’t take him up on the offer of KFC but now wish I had 😂

Really easy to work with and loads of props and clothes that we used none (oh one) of my outfits! Seen a few pics already but cannot wait to see the rest 😊👍🏼 Hopefully work together again soon.

What can I say...

Pre comms were second to none!

I arrived early so.. we had a McDonald's breakfast, best way to start a shoot, right?

Sooo welcoming and felt as if we had known one another years! Fun shoot, easy going yet professional and is more than happy to help and offer advice with direction.

Plenty of breaks..with jaffa cakes too. What more do you need?

Thank you for the fab images!

I worked with the EPIC Starglider again recently and had such a FUN, creative day! This time we worked together on a slightly different project... videography! Videography is still a little out of my comfort zone but its really important to push yourself.

I am really trying to develop my skills in this creative field so its always fantastic practise for me and its not often that I get the time to practise! Stu came to Wiltshire and made the journey from Maidstone just to work together which was also mega appreciated!

Stu is a very patient and kind person to work with, who gives great direction to the model. He also puts so much thought into the creative styling process, from what the model is wearing to the artistic direction of the videgraphy. I really enjoyed our spontaneous clothes shopping trip and the weather was perfect for the outdoor shoot at the ruin I had in mind!

Really looking forward to the results and super highly recommended to all models and creatives. See you in November! xx

One more pleasure shoot with Mr Starglider. As always, things got crazy from start until the end. Fun, friendly and professional plus quality images, no words to say really. :)

Pre-comms were always excellent, lots of ideas and props to play with, we set up several setting which gave me run out of energy after 4 hours lol. but all worth it.

Stu is really talented photographer and really quick with his editing, I would recommend him to anyone who looking for fun shoot with high quality images, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks Stu. Until next time. T

I think this was our 15th shoot together!

(Which in itself says a lot) I will always work with Stu without hesitation! We always have a laugh and produce top quality images!

Highly recommended!

After admiring his work for a while I finally got to work with Stu the other day and honestly it was totally worth the wait!! Stu’s great fun to work with, we had a right laugh throughout and the time just flew by, he even showed me a few of his editing tips at the end which was quite interesting to watch so thanks for that.

I would highly recommend working with Stu if you haven’t already, he’s not only a great guy, full of energy and enthusiasm but also a very talented photographer with an eye for detail and full of fab ideas. I love his various outfits and props he has as well, always nice to use other things rather than using my stuff all the time. We worked on some very different sets throughout, all from his own home studio which is awesome and we got some amazing results, which I’m sure must have been hard to pick through the best ones as I know from flicking through the camera that I liked almost every single photo taken which doesn’t always happen for me so we must have been doing something right as a team to achieve that! Stu also gave me some interesting pointers about various poses to help bring out the best in my body shape etc which was very useful so thank you for all of those, as well as helping me style my hair in a different way (one of my weaknesses I must admit!) to see what can work for me as well as helping to give me some very different images to really stand out and pop in my portfolio!

We have already spoken about working together again, and I’m already excited to do so as I know it will be great fun!

Thank you once again for an awesome shoot, and hopefully see you again soon!! :D x

I had another amazing day with the AWESOME talent that is Stu (AKA Mr Starglider) whilst on tour in the local area. I absolutely LOVE working with Stu. Every single image is made of star dust... I love them ALL!

Stus edits are superb and he always captures the model he is working with in the best light and shape. Working with Stu is a complete creative process; he listens to your ideas and contributions and mixes it up with his general madness, talent and creative magic!

I always love the random props Stu regularly assaults me with (I say that in the nicest possible way ;) ) He has a wicked, mischievous way of encouraging the model to get out of her comfort zone, without being uncomfortable- and with the models full consent- in fact you will be saying "WHYYYY didn't I pose like this or try this before?" and thats what I love about shooting with Stu :)

The edits are always created SUPER fast, with skill and Stuey magic and you always look forward to that email! After a shoot with Stu I know I will get a few thousand views from the images through photography websites and social media and I often get a lot of work as a result which I am very grateful for.

I also really LOVED the Video work we did together which was completely spontaneous and mental. Looking forward to our next shoot in August which will be a long weekend of creative madness!

HIGHLY recommended to all, Helen x

This was our 3rd or 4th shoot. Starglider is ace! Very talented and gets the best out of you! I have picked up some new poses from him. The images after every shoot just wow me! We went somewhere different to shoot this time (Tim's lovely cottage) which was nice to mix it up. Thank you!! Look forward to the next time!
