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!

Hello every model who would like to work with Stu!

First of all I would like to say how lucky I am to find him and had a chance to work with him!

He met me at the station and bring to the house/studio, we did great photoshoot for 4-5 hours, absolutely productive, little break and again shoot!

He is super professional, creative and intuitive person, which helps at this work a lot!

Our works are just so great! That we bombed on Instagram and Facebook!

He make me feel comfortable and focused on a each and every style which we had!

Greatest photographer I’ve met so far, looking forward to work together again, soonnnnn!

Regards,

Well what can I say that hasnt already been said!

Worked with and crashed at Stu's place for the night ahead of being in London for set work the next day after he kindly offered to put me up.

He has amazing ideas that just seem to come from nowhere and he absolutely knows what he wants from each shot and how to get the best from a model - in my case, feeding me chinese!

It was a fab shoot as evidenced by all the awesome pics to come out of it and I cant wait to hopefully shoot again soon.

Thanks Stu

P.s Babylon5 is on the list!

Had my first shoot with Stu at his home studio on Sunday. OMG, first thing I love his 80s music all along. Cant stop dancing haha. The shoot was so much fun, I laugh a lot and had to stop before we can start shooting.

Stu was great host, picked me up from car park, so friendly, fun, professional and easy to work with. Pre-comms were excellent, clear email What we need to do on the shoot.

A lots of preps to play with, including mine. Very good at direction as well as happy with my own pose. We had so much images to choose from as went through together. The problem was I love them all. Haha.

Thank you so much Stu for such a fun day. Highly recommend with no doubt and cant wait for next time.

I just got all my photos from Stu and they are STUNNING!

Stu made me feel super comfortable while I explored a new level in the industry. I have gained a lot of confidence from this shoot and I am excited to do more photos with Stu in the future. :)

Stu is very accommodating and will bring out the best in you. He is a great host and is very knowledgable about the industry. I highly recommend working with him as he creates very artistic images and he has amazing photography skills.

Book to work with Stu now! Thanks Stu :)

How lucky I am!!! I had my second shoot with this talented photographer!!!

Pre-communication was perfect, Stu kindly picked me up and dropped me from and to the station and was very accommodating.

This time we had a shoot at a cottage near him and Stu was expert at finding the perfect spot for each shoot and the result was GORGEOUS! Beautiful and clever angles, beautiful lighting and great direction made the images awesome!!!

Just like my first shoot with Stu, I really like myself in his images as they look beautiful with longer and slimmer legs...whole body looks beautiful!!! I agree with Helen Diaz and "Stu is the magic dust to your portfolio." I am really looking forward to working with him again and again.

Definitely HIGHLY recommended!!!

Thank you for the brilliant shoot!!!

Gorgeous images!!! Enthusiastic shoot!!! Talented friendly photographer!!!

I have been liking Stu's portfolio and decided to apply his casting call.

Pre-shoot communication was spot on in details, he was dramatically friendly and very enthusiastic photographer at the same time. His direction was great and I learned a lot during this shoot. He is very good at using variety of stuff to add good and interesting tastes into the images which I really enjoyed as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with this great photographer, Stu who has passion on photography and is fun to be with. The final images he sent to me in 2 days are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Are these really me??? Beautiful!!!

I am really looking forward to creating more gorgeous artistic images with Stu, so cannot wait to work with him again.

Highly recommended, of course!!!

There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe shooting with Stu!! AWESOME, awe-inspiring, sensational, remarkable, spectacular, stupendous, phenomenal, prodigious, extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable are a few!

Whenever I work with Stu I come away with something new! Stu has a tremendous capability and skill for photography, lighting and editing. He also gives fantastic direction to the model- and I LOVE Stus styling! I never know what he will create or style me with next! He keeps every shoot fresh and imaginative and you NEVER get bored.

A whole day flew by in the blink of an eye and honestly if I could have this for every single shoot in my profession and produce such beautiful results as Stu does each time, I would be ecstatic!

I worked with Stu many times now over the years and I have never left the shoot feeling disappointed. The edits are absolutely beautiful and always received lots of praise. Thank You so much Stu- I will always work with you!

Highly recommended to all models - Stu is the magic dust to your portfolio.

Well, what can I say! An absolutely amazing first shoot with Stu!

Very friendly and easy to get on with, I felt comfortable straight away.

He was very hard working and professional throughout.

His direction is on point, and the end results are awesome, I couldn't be happier with the images. Thank you, Stu! Thoroughly recommend and hope to work with you again..

because it is Stu there really isn't much more to say it is all there to view

there was Grease, The Greatest Show Man, M People and The Rocky Horror Show

an entire buffet with mini toad in the holes, a back massager that felt like hard coals…

We laughed, I cried and we did something called a shoot

I could go on and on but it doesn't need to be a Neil Patrick Harris tribute

So what the heck could I say about Stu that hasn't been said

it is never enough so I will come to a finale and put this to bed

I have long been an admirer of Stu's work, and so was thrilled to bits when we finally got a chance to shoot together recently. Possibly the most relaxed start to a shoot I have ever had - we sat and enjoyed a MaccyD's and a chat before even thinking about getting to work - and this preceded a fantastic and productive shooting session. I love the images we achieved during the shoot, and hope we get a chance to do it again sometime :) Stu is not only a great photographer, he is lovely and fun to work with too, and wholly respectful - I have no hesitation in recommending working with him :)

Stu and I organised our 2nd shoot quite a while in advance, giving us lots of time to discuss ideas and concepts. To say pre comms were excellent is an understatement. Stu already felt like a friend I had known for long time, which made working with him so much productive.

Final edits delivered as quick as were send it to me the last time.

Stu is professional, respectful, hardworking photographer, conscientious and considerate of his model and the images he captures.

Wow!! So impressed I am literally speechless, which is a huge achievement!! I only have done a few shoots prior to meeting Stu, and as a new model and inexperienced I was a little nervous and relying on Stu to direct me. And he did such a fantastic job, I felt in control and comfortable throughout the shoot and above all hes a great fun guy to work with! I hope to work with him again, and cannot rate his photography skills highly enough!! Fantastic!!!

Irina N

My Goddness what a shoot! That was an AWESOME amount of fun!! I really can't wait to shoot with you again! Stu was full of energy, enthusiasm and ideas from the very first moment I saw him. Polite, helpful and truly inspiring person. His style is distinct and I never saw anyone's photos edited in the way he does. Also, I've never been given the edits so quickly - withing 24 hours I’ve received 22 images, and the first 6 images he did edit in front of me.

We already booked our next shoot 2 days after the first one... can’t wait! Highly recommend!

See you again soon man!
