Steve is really great to work with, very open to experimenting and worked with some of my crazier ideas. Absolutely loved the photos we created together! He's great with comms, was really understanding when I had to postpone for a personal crisis and really fast with getting edits back. Definitely excited to work with him in the future.

Had a great Shoot today at penguin stu6ios in Thame with Steve. Steve was very polite and friendly and I felt at ease the entire length of the Shoot. The Studio was very spacious and had a great range of back drops and set ups that gave lots of variety to work with. Steve had some great ideas for the shots, and the four hours we had flew by. A great day and would definitely recommend him to anyone. Hope we work together again at some point the future.

Susie had a wonderful and very enjoyable photoshoot with Steve, and she was very pleased with the resulting images.

From Susie’s initial enquiry about a shoot to when we said goodbye, Steve was marvellous; very professional, open minded and non-judgemental.

We penciled in a shoot date and Steve communicated well both close to and on the day itself.

The Penguin studio was great; very spacious with lots of backdrops and natural light. It also had a good changing room (with 2 mirrors!) for Susie to transform.

Steve was very easy to work with and Susie felt both calm and relaxed throughout. Susie modelled a few of her outfits and Steve came up with the backdrops, lighting and directed the poses. He was particularly creative with the set and soft lighting for the lingerie shots.

At the end, Steve did confess to being a little nervous about the shoot(although it did not come across!) but susie was delighted to hear that he enjoyed it and would like to do another one. Something Susie would also be up for.

Thanks Steve for a great shoot!

I had a great first shoot with Steve on the 1st June. We shot a mixture of studio Pin Up / Boudoir / Femme Fatale at his studio - Penguin Studios and some street graffiti on location. His pre comms were really good, he made me feel comfortable straight away and he was very relaxed to shoot with. We worked quite quickly through a range of outfits from dresses to lingerie and created several different looks in the 4 hours we were working together. His studio I really recommend too. Lots of sets and props and Penguins too of course! Steve has given me a big selection of images too for my portfolio and was kind enough to pick me up from the train station. I would 100% recommend and hope to work with Steve again in the future.

Thanks for a great shoot Steve! x

Fabulous shoot with Steve today. I've worked with Steve a few times but today was different. Got to shoot at his new studio which is amazing.

The time flew by as always. Steve's super chilled and a great host.

We got some cracking shots today, look forward to seeing the final edits.

See you soon

Was lovely shooting with Steve again!

Always a great host and friendly. Very easy to work with and he always comes up with these great ideas. Had a blast shooting against a green screen last night. Really looking forward to sorting out our next shoot.

As always I very highly recommend shooting with Steve!

I had a fantastic shoot with Steve. He was professional and kind and his studio had a great set up. We worked on some film photography that was very fun and creative, as well as creating some great digital images.

I had a great time working with Steve and would definitely recommend him! Thanks again Steve and I look forward to working with you soon!

Firstly, I must say that Steve is a considerate, kind hearted and an empathetic person. I enjoyed working with him and found him to be very easy going, which made for a nice, relaxed shoot.

We worked on location for the first part of the shoot and then we worked at his studio. What I found was that Steve was willing to experiment with different ideas, different techniques regardless of whether the ideas worked or not, I think we both agreed that all the ideas were worth a try.

I liked the pictures I saw throughout the shoot. I certainly would like to work with Steve again. 100% Recommended!

Did my first shoot with Steve recently. It was a really hot day and we were doing an outside shoot so it was hard work and we shortened it due to the heat. But despite that, we still came out with a lot of good photos. Steve is not afraid to get down on the floor if need be to get a particular shot at the best angle - very committed to his work! He is also friendly and easy to get along with which always helps on a shoot.

I worked with Steve on a street shoot around Oxford today.

I found Steve to be a very pleasant gentleman and easy to work with. I felt the shoot went at a great pace and Steve certainly had an eye for capturing the best of Oxford’s lovely architecture in his shots. We also worked on film and I’m definitely curious as to how they turn out!

I would recommend Steve and happily work with him again.

Third shoot with Steve as this time even better. Feels like I've known him years.

Honestly couldn't have wished for the shoot to go any better. Had such a laugh and got some of the most stunning images

Steve has a lovely little home studio, he's friendly, chatty, respectful and just an easy going photographer.

Thanks for a fab shoot

Highly recommended

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Steve in his beautiful home(studio) and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anybody thinking of working with him.

Paul is a fantastic photographer, an excellent host and wonderful person all in one !

He's very professional, reliable, respectful, with great communication and clear creative ideas.

I was treated with the biggest respect and looked after to my best comforts from being picking me up from the train station.

We managed to fly through a range of different outfit changes and styles and the pictures I have seen look awesome.

He also has the most loving little dog! :D

I can't wait to work with him again! Thank you! Best wishes, Franka xx

My second shoot with Steve since last year and definitely can't leave it that long again. Steve had everything planned for the shoot and if I'm honest I'm sure we smashed every single shot.

Was great fun to work on something new.

Steve is very welcoming and friendly. Also makes a good cuppa :)

Thanks again
