I had another truly lovely shoot with Steve last week when he booked me for a one to one slot on my Autumn themed studio day at Far Forest Studio.

We shot both indoors and out, and worked through a variety of different looks together. Steve is such wonderful company and the shoot was laid back and lots of fun. He’s kind and considerate and was eager to ensure I was happy and comfortable during the shoot.

Steve’s images are always beautiful and the Pre Raphaelite style image he’s posted on his port is no exception. You can certainly tell he’s an artist!

I’d recommend Steve to others without hesitation and I hope to work with him again soon. Thanks so much Steve :D

I have worked with Steve for many years now. He is a really nice and friendly man, which always makes for relaxed shoots. I would recommend to any model and will look forward to our next shoot.

Always like working with Steve. Highly recommended

Had a delightful outdoor shoot with Steve at Far Forest Studio. We’d worked together about two years ago so it was lovely to see him again.

We covered a range of looks from ballet and sheers to art nude and vintage fashion. Steve has already loaded a lovely shot and I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you Steve for a great shoot.

Highly recommended :)

I had a lovely time working with Steve the first time we met, so this most recent occasion shooting together was a delight in that he was interested in setting something up again - but also kindly offered me accommodation for a night during the tour that I was doing at the time as well!

Steve has his own home studio setup which means he’s got everything right there/knows where everything is and there’s a lot of potential for creating with fun backdrops, as well as the props/ideas that Steve comes up with! :D The other benefit of Steve working from his place is being able to use other rooms for more of the “homely” environment; of which we did this time making splendid use of both natural light and flash. :) So a good combination of jolly fun ideas, plus classic boudoir and arty concepts too! We got really stuck in (as we had done before) and produced some lovely stuff! Steve goes into a shoot knowing exactly what he wants to achieve and usually has a selection of outfits at the ready too! He’s very well prepared for when he works with models and has a clear passion for making pretty pictures. :)

He is a very professional gentleman in all respects: literally thee best host and always has tea and snacks presented for whenever the model should need a refreshment break. When you’re shooting the models have their own private space to change and get sorted. He just has everything covered which makes for a very comfortable and happy working atmosphere. :) I cannot stress how well-looked-after I feel when working with Steve. The shoots are also relaxed and non-pressured with a generous amount of chatter going on simultaneously haha!

As an overnight host, Steve couldn’t have done enough for me! I’m quite a simple creature really in what I need when touring and staying places (you learn to be with such a mad schedule and managing everything calmly and productively!) But Steve was conscious to make sure I had everything I needed... And just an all-round star with hospitality and everything. Even when I took over the studio area for my crazy workout the next morning! 🙈

Comms - perfect.

Etiquette - spot on.

Laughs/sociability - cracking.

Creative interest - awesome.

Do I recommend? Well of course I do! :D Thank you so much Steve for a fabulous second shoot!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve for the second time when he booked a place on my Bellydance/Autumnal studio day at Far Forest Studio.

Steve was wonderful from the start, insisting on carrying my extremely heavy suitcase down to the studio for me. He was kind and friendly from the get go and, I’m sure the group would agree with me, he was easy and fun to work with.

I’d recommend Steve to other models without hesitation and I hope to work with him again. Thanks so much Steve :)

Despite the long drive, Steve managed to turn up on time and then some, ha ha.

Arriving a few hours early he managed to duck out for some food ensuring not interrupt the studio day and burden anyone, all while keeping him self entertained with local amenities. Equally, despite being the last booking for the first day, he was the first to utilise the house location and was pleasant and respectful through out, including asking when he wanted to use a different room. He was otherwise quite content to be left to his own devices and required very little assistance.

Hopefully we'll seem him again when he fancies another trip up to North wales :)

Steve attended my Guys Cliffe event in Warwick. Pre comms were excellent and it was an honour having him attend. He worked really well within the group setting as well as with the models that were booked. I hope Steve is happy with the images (the ones I saw on the back of camera looked fantastic!) and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

oh Steve is such a lovely chap! I was very happy that he booked a slot on our trio shoot . He is kind and respectful and a real joy to work with. He enjoyed taking on our ideas as well as throwing his own into the mix. He was funny and charming and a pleasure to work with.

What more could you ask for from a photographer?

Highly recommended - thank you so much - come back soon!

I had a brilliant shoot with Steve as a group studio day with JenniJJ and Jackie R at Rococo Farm.

Steve arrived on time although he drove long distance from where he lived to Rococo Farm. Steve knew what he wanted to achieve and he gave us clear directions and also the use of beautiful 3 different colour of material was brilliant. Steve was very creative, calmly enthusiastic and also a very friendly gentleman.

Thank you for the great shoot. I am really looking forward to work with him again!

Had a fabulous shoot yesterday with Steve. He drove quite a distance and arrived on time at Rococo Farm studio. Steve precommunation was excellent leading upto our shoot explaining what he wanted to achieve for our group shoot. Steve is a really friendly and chatty guy that was professional at all times. Think Steve was more than happy with results. Thank you again Steve for a fabulous shoot.

Steve came to my urbex event at the X Factory and was so much fun to work with. We got on instantly and were soon chatting away and bouncing ideas around. We shot a range of different styles around the building and stayed inspired from the start to the last minute! He's a genuine, lovely, creative person who is interesting to talk to, with great images- I loved the ones I saw in the back of the camera. I'd recommend him to any model!

Thankyou again! :)

Shooting with Steve was a total pleasure. Steve booked on to my studio day at Sandon, and together we had a really productive shoot.

I contacted Steve before the shoot to ask if he had any specific ideas in mind, and together we came up with a small list of themes for us to shoot, including some 60's themes!

He was punctual on the day of the shoot, and was just a total joy. His humour and kind nature helped me to relax immediately - Steve is very easy to get along with. His direction is clear ad precise, yet he also allowed me to go with my own flow as well.

We had a great time, and Steve got some lovely images. I would certainly work with Steve again, and recommend him confidently.

I shot with Steve on a wonderful event at Darklens Studio recently - he is a lovely, professional and respectful fellow who has a real eye for light!

This awesome fellow is highly recommended by me, thank you ever so much for an amazing shoot and for working with me :)
