I had a lovely 4hr shoot with Steve at Neon Dreams!

Steve booked in for one of my 121 tuition sessions, we experimented with various lighting set ups/shiny things and got some wonderful photos!

Steve is chatty, friendly, respectful and the time flew by.

I hope to work with him again and recommend him highly to others :)

Always a great experience shooting with Steve. Well organised and easy pre shoot communication, very fun to work with and loves being creative. Look forward to working with again some time!

Excellent shoot yet again with Steve. This time we shot in a park one evening as I modelled for a local camera club, then we shot at a nearby graffiti area the following day where we gained some fabulous urban-style shots. I love Steve to bits. He is a credit to the industry. We are like really good friends. I used lots of his outfits to shoot in. He is always open to trying new things and loves being creative... this time we were using smoke bombs and coloured powder. He has some crazy equipment, probably some of which you will never again come across. He is a true enthusiast and is so passionate about his photography. Always shows BOC, a great laugh, takes great shots... what more do you want?! x

Third shoot. Honestly, I can't say enough about this human. I will never get bored of shooting with Steve. I shot at his home studio again. He is a TOTAL credit to the industry. So easy to work with. Such fun & creates some incredible images. It is people like him why I absolutely adore my job. I don't even know how to put in to words what an amazing person he is. Always shows back of cam, full of ideas and knows when you will like the shot. I guarantee he will never receive a bad reference. Girls if you get the opportunity to work with him do it!!!

If you get to shoot at his home ask to see his landscape & wildlife work. It is unreal.

Steve thank you. You're a friend I will never lose and I am so grateful we got to shoot together and I know we will continue to work together inevitably.

I have modelled for the Laleham camera club which Steve usually sets up. I honestly feel privileged to be asked as they really are a lovely, funny bunch who I feel totally safe around & I always get some great shots.

As for Steve, he is such a kind gentleman who is easy to get on with, he lets me do my thing but also gives direction. I'm really happy to see how well his photography has come on & do recommend all models to work with him. Thanks again Steve x

Second shoot with Steve after we had such an enjoyable first shoot a couple of days ago. I was absolutely overwhelmed when he asked if I was up for shooting again. This time at his home studio. Some people you just click with and both of your creativity ideas gel so well together. I knew I would feel super comfortable and at ease and have yet another fantastic shoot and my word did it deliver. Amazing time and we are already discussing our third shoot. I can not wait!

Amazing first shoot with Stephen. He arrived on time and had a beaming personality. He's happy to give direction and ideas but also very laid back and happy to let the model pose/dress as they wish.

I am really looking forward to shooting with Stephen again. We had such a laugh. Time flew by! He is super friendly and respectful. Couldn't ask for a better shoot. Thank you x x

Spent a few days shooting with Stevenage again. Always such a blast. Great photographer to work with. So fun and always create awesome images together as our ideas bounce off each other. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed if you get to shoot with this cracker. He is simply awesome! :)

What a shoot!

First thing I noticed was that Stephen is a gentleman. At arriving and during tbe shoot it was clear that he is well Organised. Had a clear image of what he wanted to achieve with a great deal of determination. Open to trying new ideas. Knew his composition, what works whst doesn't. Superb with lighting and shadows. Thought outside of the box. Did what it takes to capture something unique. Has a creative mind. Conversations flowed, easy to get along with. Overall and enjoyable successful shoot. I look forward to seeing our outcomes. Stephen has a lot of potential for fpi images.

Highly recommend!

I actually don't know where to start. Steve is just a wonderful human being - this is clear with moments of meeting him. I have very rarely felt so entirely comfortable around another person in such a short time. We worked together today for the first time, and it couldn't have felt less like a first shoot. We were bouncing ideas off one another as if we had been working together for years. Steve shoots in what is, for me, the absolutely ideal way; experimenting, trying out different ideas with no shortage of commitment and enthusiasm, welcoming model ideas and input throughout. The shoot was fun, relaxed and productive, and the time flew by far too quickly. Looking at the images in the back of the camera, I really believe we achieved some fantastic, interesting and diverse images.

I would recommend working with Steve without hesitation, and I very much hope that we have the opportunity to shoot again in the future. Thanks so much Steve for a truly wonderful afternoon!

Really enjoyed shooting with Stephen yesterday after he responded to a casting I had put up.

Lovely genuine guy who welcomed me into his beautiful home & made sure I was okay throughout the shoot. He was great to work with & so easy to get on with.

We worked through quite a few sets where we both tried out ideas we had & the images, from what I saw were great.

Looking forward to seeing the final edits & hoping I'll get to work with him again soon.

Highly recommended to all models :) x

Worked with Steve today at his home studio. Very productive and lots of fun. I’ve previously worked with him as part of Laleham camera club, and always find his relaxed nature great to work with. He sure knows his lighting techniques and loved the results we came up with today. 100% recommended! Thank you!
