Great shoot today with Stephen. So glad that he chose me after I applied for his casting! Great pre-comms, and during the shoot I found him to be INCREDIBLY respectful and polite throughout. He had clear ideas of what he wanted to shoot, whilst respectful of boundaries. So refreshing to have a photographer who doesn't necessary deem that the more flesh is exposed the better! We had great conversation pre and post shoot and he seems an all round lovely guy. Shots on back of camera looked great so can't wait to see the end results! Would recommend Stephen to all models, and hope this is the first of many shoots together.

It was a delightful shoot, Stephen made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived, checked with me regularly throughout the shoot, Stephen is also very respectful and patient. I would definitely love to work with Stephen again x

I have worked with Stephen a couple of times now with a few years in between each shoot. This one was organised very last minute but communicating was easy with Stephen. We chatted before the shoot about ideas we had and I think we covered everything we originally discussed plus more. He’s a really good photographer and easy to get along with. It was so much fun working with him again and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

First shoot with Stephen on my bishop Auckland tour !

Pre comes were great and he was prepared with ideas for the shoot .

Stephen brought his own props / outfits which I really enjoyed using as they worked so well ! We shot around the house in different areas starting with fashion and ended with some beautiful rainbow fabric which I loved !!! All the shots worked well and we got a variety of different styles throughout.

Stephen made sure I was happy with the images he posted after the shoot to .

Thank you for a great shoot

Amazing first shoot with Stephen at the studio! Very friendly, professional gentleman. I absolutely loved every minute of it and would recommend him to any model. I am looking forward to the next time we work together. Thank you so much for the great experience :)

I had my first shoot with Stephen at Oak Studio.

We had communicated for nearly two months prior so we both knew exactly what to expect.

We shot both Halloween and fashion. Stephen had bought some Halloween backdrops specifically for our shoot which looked fantastic.

Our shoot was 3 hours but the time flew. I had so much fun and Stephen was lovely and very easy to chat to. He also made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot.

I’ve got the first couple of images back and they look fantastic so I can’t wait to see the rest!

Highly recommended and I’d love to work with him again in the future.

Lovely shoot I had with Stephen and Angie :)

Stephen applied for my casting in Whitby in a cute little attic apartment. I was delighted as his communication was very expressive and detailed. He wanted to use candle light as part of his brief which I love working with and was perfect for the mood of the apartment. He manoeuvred his way around the small apartment very well and was adaptive to this with the also ever changeing light which happened quickly. He was extremely respectful removing himself when clothing changes where needed and was very open chatty, friendly and professional. I would happily work with Stephen again no worries.... Thank you so much Stephen !

Another very lovely and professionally laid out and planned shoot with Stephen today at my home.

We went through several sets including 1950’s style which I did hair and make up to suit.

The outfits Stephen brought were stunning particularly the vintage dress!

I always thoroughly enjoy working with this true professional and am always thankful for his caring, professional and quietly spoken ways just a joy to work with.

The results will be stunning as were the shots from last shoot!

I recommend to all models from amateur to professional, you will be guaranteed a lovely day with beautiful images to be proud of.

Thank you

I had a maternity shoot with Stephen yesterday and it went fantastic! Coms leading up to the shoot were great and he arrived at time agreed at my home ready to set up for our shoot. We got along really well and it looks like he got some amazing shots. Can't wait to see them.

I would 100% recommend Stephen to other models and would love to work with him again in future.

Stephen was an absolute joy to work with. He recently booked on whilst I was on a trip in Middlesbrough and I am very glad he did.

As easy going individual with plenty of ideas and creativity to make the shoot fly by - which is always a good sign I think!

Pre-shoot communication was excellent and we had discussed working levels for the shoot etc very clearly beforehand. We managed to get through a number of different sets together and each was a joy to create.

I would recommend this lovely man to models of all experience, as Stephen is very easy to get along with and is happy to give direction along with being open to ideas too.

It was a pleasure to meet and work with you Stephen! :)

Stephen and I managed to put together a shoot at very short notice yesterday, and im so glad we did.

Stephen gives great direction when needed and knows exactly what he would like with his shots. His communication is amazing, and we worked well together to create some beautiful shots in a lovely dress he brought along to shoot with. He even asked me to keep the dress after we finished shooting, which i am so grateful for.

I would recommend Stephen to any model, he is lovely to be around and a great photographer.

A lovely afternoon, and i cant wait for our next shoot together!

Second time meeting and first time properly shooting with Stephen 📸

Pre shoot communications were great, Stephen always has some ideas in mind, is good with directions and also he let me flow freely 🤌🏼

The shoot went smoothly, Stephen was very respectful to my levels and made me feel comfortable and at ease🙌🏼

Time went by very quick, but we managed to create some gorgeous shots!

Would recommend working with him and would work again myself.
