I had an exceptional shoot with Starglider Photography!

I would consider the set of images from our shoot to be one of the best I’ve had yet in my portfolio and yet I daresay he was one of the fastest who got back to me with the entire set of retouched images!

Just scheduled a second shoot with him and I’m beyond excited to create more impressive work with him! He has the talents of a stylist as well with an incredible eye for the image he wants!

This was my second shoot with Stu after our first 3 years ago, and one I really looked forward to.

From the moment he met me at the station to the moment I left it was non stop laughter. So funny, and great company.

We shot lots of looks from fashion, lingerie to nude. We got so much done, the time just flew by! I hadn't even realised how late it was when we finished.

Although Stu is hilarious, he is 100% professional and you can put your complete faith in him to produce amazing images and give you valuable direction while shooting.

Brilliant shoot. And I imagine it won't be the last (if he can put up with me again ha).

Thank you for a fabulous shoot :)

Highly recommended.

This was my second shoot with Stu and what an amazing shoot it was!

Stu is so welcoming from the start to the end of the shoot. He will meet you at your car and walk you to his flat where the shoot takes place and also walk to you back and pay for your parking :) He is very professional and knows exactly what he's doing.

His direction skills are awesome! He knows how to get "the shot" and won't stop until he does!

We have captured some amazing shots and have also booked in another shoot this month but we are taking it to the BEACH! cannot wait

Highly recommend!

It was my first time working with Stu but within no time it felt like we had been friends for a long time! The day went so quick but we managed to get some really good sets and I couldn't be happier with them!

Stu is very respectful and will always ensure that the model is comfortable and even fed and watered :)

As a whole I had a great day, laughed a lot at Stu's jokes and came away with a new friend and some amazing images!

I would highly recommend him to any model! x

I've been admiring Stu's photos for years, but haven't made it down for a shoot until last week-end and I am really glad I did! Great first (hopefully not last) shoot with Stu, his pre-shoot communications were fantastic and he was respectful and professional at all times. It was good to be directed by someone so knowledgeable and experienced; several hours went very fast and the photos look fantastic! Very much recommended :-)

Another hands down... ace shoot with stu! Our first location was magic!

FANTASTIC!

I had such a brilliant shoot with Stu... He is a very talented and creative photographer.

This was my first ever proper shoot, especially of this kind; Stu made me feel incredibly comfortable and taught me a lot!

Great communication from the very beginning of planning the shoot, to keeping me updated with the final images afterwards!

We planned to shoot to lingerie levels, however, with a burst of spontaneity I decided to try implied- using various items from his array of women's clothing and accessories- which were a great addition to the shots!

I am SO happy with the final images and we are already planning our second shoot!

Highly recommend!

Had the honour of being able to work with Stu, no messing around, straight to the point with pre comms.

Definately felt comfortable and settled from the moment i arrived, we chilled and watched some of the amazing videos he's created before the madness began.

I am so so pleased with the final images and cannot wait to add them to my portfolio, definately work to be proud of! I cant thank you enough.

If you ever get the oppertunity, i'd definately recommend working with Stu. I certainly hope we can create again in the future 🌟

Sooooo! I worked with the AMAZING Mr Starglider again on a fairly short notice (ish) trip to Maidstone as I realised on my tours that I was only an hour or so away! Stu had the day free and with only a week before Christmas the date was set in stone!

We have worked together before a few times now and each shoot has always been SUPER productive. Stu creates complete magic in his home- always has lots of creative ideas, gives GREAT direction, has fantastic lighting abilities and is super at editing and postprocessing to a high standard.

I always come away from the shoot wanting to shoot more- and also having the most beautiful images to put in my portfolio! Whenever I need a portfolio date, Stu is my man, he never lets me down!

We achieved SO many sets in the time we had together over the course of the day- From art nudes, to shooting with my Cosplay outfit and using a beautiful designer outfit I also had to hand during my trip. Plus Stu also has an enviable collection of womens clothing and accessories which are always a great addition to the shoot!

Stu was really kind to share the edits with me super fast and the resulting photos added so much STARDUST and pure MAGIC to my portfolio. We have had rave reviews and I am so proud they are in my portfolio! Thanks so much Stu you are ace! Here is to 2018 and creating MUCH more stunning work together.

Super highly recommended to all! Helen x

Finally.....

I got to work with this supernova of a photographer!

I've always admired his work from afar and finally plucked up the courage to bother him for a shoot - the most epic of times ensued and I was sad to leave!

Stu is one of these people that instantly relax you, with his awesomely wicked sense of humour and that fabulous infectious laugh - we sat and chatted loads, watched the best movies and I just couldn't stop giggling....

He also put up with my bad dancing (massive kudos to the dude, trust me), even joining in for a dance off.....Now for the photography bit:

He and the camera are definitely best mates, the things that Stu can do with that thing and the light sorcery he creates, are just mind blowing to see in action.....the images speak for themselves ♥

I name thee Stu, Spag Bol extraordinaire, superhost and you are officially in my top 10 favourite ever photographers of all time list :D

I cannot recommend this wonderful human and shooter enough folks, he is one of the most fun and incredible photographers I have ever got to work with!!!

Stu was one of those people that you can't stop laughing around, he had me in stitches from the moment we met, talking about the most vulgar and revolting things.

We spent most of the session in between posing and photographing dancing horrifically to cringy 80s music and making weird noises, which sounds like a good shoot to me :)

his photography is pretty fabulous too and we produced at least a million good shots out of the session!

highly recommended by me and can't wait to shoot again!

Right then... Stu..

Where to even start? Hes a hilariously annoying tit. But good makes up for bad.. I suppose.

He put me up for the evening before the shoot and we had such a giggle chatting away into the night! The shoot its self was awesome!! Stu had so many ideas and we shot through them and struggles through the bits that tried to fuck us over (Cornettos are shit for melting..)

The shots are out of this world! I'm so happy with them! The turn around period of images was really great and I'm just astounded by how much I love them!

I hated it that much I'm planning another trip for early next year!

Thanks Stu!

Hmmm... I have done a few of these thingys for Stu now. I'm a bit stuck with what to say because I don't want to repeat what's already been said and you can already see from the numerous amounts of refs he has that he is BLOODY AMAZING. But here goes... A fun filled weekend with Stu at my crib :D We started off with a Chinese takeaway and some drinks with music (thank you Stu for my speaker - you're awesome!), then we went outside in the dark for some amazing shooty fun then back at mine to shoot until half 1 on Sunday morning. Despite Stu only having and needing minimal hours sleep (I woke up at almost 10am the next day..oops!) he was as brilliant as ever. We filmed a short video first of all and then did many sets in the living room and in the bedroom. I haven't had a weekend as fun as this one in a very very long time! Photos... well just see for yourself! Absolute blast to work with and to hang out with! Can not recommend Stu enough!
