Well what can I say other than Steve is a dream to work with!

First of all I noticed how professional he is, pre comms were great, he gave me a moodboard of ideas and I knew exactly what to expect on the day.

Steve Is really great at making you feel at ease and very much a gentleman. He always made sure I had a coffee and we took regular breaks while changing set ups and looks. We wizzed through multiple looks and I was so Impressed with the backdrops and props he came prepared with.

I was able to see all the images on his laptop which was great and I know we got some absolutely gorgeous Images.

Can't wait to work with Steve again!

I had a lovely time shooting with Steve at Zavod studio during my mini northern tour. I've admired Steve's work for a while on Instagram. On the day he was professional throughout and incredibly enthusiastic. We played around with so many different setups, props, lighting styles etc. He's probably the most experimental among the photographers who attended. The end results didn't disappoint at all. You can be rest assured that Steve's work is high quality. Can't wait to share some of the final images. Would love to shoot with him again. Definitely recommend.

I am very happy I had a chance to shoot with Steve today, it was such an amazing experience, I am thrilled to see the photos 🤩

Pre-communication was on spot and Steve is very easy to arrange a shoot with, his communication is very clear and fast and he was so nice to build mood boards for our shoot, so I knew what outfits to bring for our shoot.

Steve booked such a great studio for our shoot in Leeds and I was amazed how knowledgeable and skilled Steve is, he was very fast to change different light sets up and they were all amazing and creative and very different from each others.

Steve shoots without any rush, he allowed a great amount of time for breaks and also made sure I have everything I need, and wow special thanks for Belgian chocolate.

We did such a cool fashion, Steve has a fantastic sense of fashion and we did edgy fashion and portraits both in a studio and outdoors and photos looked very impressive straight out of the camera. This shoot is such a total blast and a definite success, I can say I had the best time shooting with Steve.

Many thanks Steve, I am already looking forward to shooting with you in London next time 🤩

Highly recommended,100%

My second shoot with the fantastic Steve, this time Steve travelled to me and shot from my exclusive location house.

Steve is a lovely human being, friendly, good company, understanding and funny.

He gives his shoots his all, and isn’t afraid to try new things, to make his shots unique.

I love how Steve captures me, and would highly recommended him to any models or studios.

A great guy. Thank you so much for working with me again and for such a brilliant day.

I worked with Steve for the first time yesterday in London.

We had planned the shoot over a few months and he was consistent in his communication, asking questions and ensuring I was comfortable with what we had planned. He had clear ideas which really helped me decide what to bring.

Steve is chatty, inquisitive, professional,

and great to work with. He welcomed feedback but was quite open to letting me do my thing, but was able to vocalise things he particularly liked and poses he wanted.

I would definitely recommend Steve, and hope to work with him again

I had a great day working with Steve!

Communication right from the start until the day was excellent, I knew what was to be expected on the shoot. Steve was very welcoming and friendly, he is very talented photographer.

We shot in a lovely hotel overlooking Big Ben and got some great images. I really enjoyed our shooting!

I highly recommend him!

I had my first shoot with Steve on Friday. He picked amazing hotel with Big Ben view which I really loved and then we head to city to take some outdoors shoot. He is a really nice person, chatty and with a great taste of music so was really nice to shoot listening to my favourite band too! Definitely recommend :)

Worked with Steve yesterday. Prior to the shoot we had a very good chat about what we want from it. He voiced his opinions but was very open to hear my input on things. Great communication. Turned up on time, we had a great chat about everything, showed me around the place we were shooting and just made me feel super at ease. The shots turned out beautifully too!

Would highly reccomend and I'm looking forward to (hopefully) be working with Steve in the future 😊

I had the pleasure of working with Steve again on a recent studio day at my venue The Luxury Townhouse, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Steve is a complete professional who approaches his craft with passion and dedication. He is not only a talented photographer but also a respectful and accommodating individual who prioritises the models needs. Throughout the shoot, Steve's passion for photography shone through. He approached each shot with enthusiasm and creativity, consistently striving for excellence!

Can't wait to shoot again soon!

Steve is just an awesome guy!

Always absolute pleasure working with him all the way from pre-comms until seeing the finished images.

This time, we worked with HMUA Alona and I am so thankful he brought her to join us on the day - what we have created on the last shoot surely can't get any better? haha.

I know I've said this already, but Steve continues to be very receptive to feedback. He is improving his skills every time I work with him, and it is so refreshing. He doesn't just say he wants to learn - he talks the talk and runs the walk!

So pleased I got to work him a handful of times now. I will take as many opportunities as I can to work with him again and again.

Steve gets my highest recommendation.

Thank you!

I had an absolutely lovely shoot with Steve last week. Steve and I last worked together on his first ever shoot,since then it has been absolutely lovely to see how he had progressed so much in the past year. Steve is so brilliant to work with as he is so eager to learn and willing to try out new things,he is really pushing himself and working with great models in fabulous studios.

Steve was super relaxed and easy to work with,we had such a great evening. I really look forward to Steve’s exhibition coming up which will feature images of me too! I would definitely recommend shooting with Steve and I hope to again soon.

Second shoot with Steve yesterday, I enjoyed every minute of it! Steve is always a joy to work with and be around as well as very welcoming. Communication was on point as always and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. I had a specific request for my portfolio and Steve went above and beyond to achieve it!

All round a very professional, fantastic photographer and great guy! 100% recommend.

I got so painfully behind on my references from the tail end of 2023 into this year for many various reasons (my life being the main one!) but finally here I am with my cup of herbal tea catching up!! :)

I had my first shoot with Steve last month at SilkWood Studio.

Initially Steve saw my casting call- and sent me a message asking if I might happen to have any time free on the 25th January.

25th January (in 2022) is the day I lost my partner, Iain, so I hadn't intended to shoot that day at all, however, Steve's friendly and kind message made me feel like I was actually happy to work that day and I am very glad I did!

Steve was indeed super lovely to work with for the three hours I was there- we got some lovely images, worked together well and the time just flew by!

He was so sweet and kind that day knowing what day it was- some people might have just gone "oh forget it" in fear of it being awkward- which it wasn't- so I'm glad Steve didn't!

Hope to shoot with Steve again as I am back and forth from Yorkshire a bit more these days :)

Thank you Steve :)

Just so much fun :)

Pleased to have such a great first shoot with Steve! We came with lots of ideas and managed to fit them all in to our afternoon at Silkwood.

On set Steve is clear with dirction and also allows the model to move to her own rythem, making for stunning photographs guarenteed!

Due to do shoot 2 later this year we imagine and looking forward to gathering together more ideas.

Steve was fantastic and extremely polite throughout our shoot and for that anyone who gets the chance to shoot with him will thouroughly enjoy and get some great shots! :D

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve, and the experience was truly enjoyable.

Steve's direction was clear and effective, and I appreciated his ability to convey ideas while still allowing for creative expression. Working with him was a breeze, as he maintained a perfect balance between professionalism and a friendly demeanour. His patience and easygoing nature made the entire experience enjoyable.

Steve's keenness for the shoot location, my house, was palpable throughout the entire process. He showed genuine appreciation for the setting, and his enthusiasm added an extra layer of creativity to the session.

Highly recommend!!! xxxxx

Another amazing shoot complete with this truly wonderful man, you meet many people in this job and some will always have a lasting impact for many reasons and having the pleasure of meeting and working with Steve is most certainly one of those situations.

Our creativity aligns so well that every set we seem to do is fun, creative and beyond productive with exceptional results!

Steve went out of his way for me yesterday and stayed to let me use his second camera after I had not so fun battery problems, Steve did not have to do this nor did he have to be such a pleasure to just have around while shooting but he did and I will forever be grateful!

If you want exceptional photos, a fun and relaxed environment with lots of creativity flowing, Steve is your man - recommended a million times over for me!

Thankyou Steve, until next time!
