I had my first shoot earlier this month with Steve Yates. I was struck by his portfolio and even more delighted that he is located fairly close to me. I had read his bio before meeting, and had a greater respect for the booking considering the tenderness of the circumstances.

Despite the circumstances, he arrived with an air of positivity, and has a great energy about him. I showed him around the house and we exchanged our opinions on photography quickly before getting to work. He is an attentive listener and stayed grounded and respectful witnessing my many quips.

He is skilled at posing models but he let me get into my own posing flow. He gave fantastic feedback and showed me the images as we went, which were phenomenal.

For someone who has taken a very long time away from model photography, he absolutely knows what he's doing in terms of timing, angles, lighting, and exposure. He has all it takes to become a truly memorable Art photographer, and I hope he dives back into that world with a vengance.

Power to you, Steve

Hope to see you again soon.

I had my first shoot with Steve and it was amazing! He is so creative and adventurous. The ideas that Steve had just blew my mind, what a beautiful shoot we had in beautiful locations! Steve's comms were brilliant and he was so polite and caring throughout the shoot. I highly recommend working with him as I would love to shoot with Steve again! Thank you for a great shoot@

Had shoot with Steve yesterday. The shoot was somewhat special to me, as this was my first professional Artistic Nude Shoot.

Steve is a first class photographer, he has a studio whose walls are covered with stunning images from all types of photography.

I appreciated his hospitality and his professionalism. From what I have already seen his images of me are spectacular and I cannot wait to see the finished product.

This has opened up a new avenue for me thanks to Steve, as I have always seen myself as a Glamour Model. The compliments he gave me I very much appreciated and he made me feel very special.

I am so looking forward to working with him again. Thanks Steve

I loved my recent shoot with Steve. My first art (completely) nude shoot and he made me feel very comfortable. We had a great day together with lots of laughs and shivers (mine!!). He was keen to ensure my warmth; supplied hot drinks and a warm robe.

I'm looking forward to working with Steve again soon. He comes highly recommended by me.

I had a shoot with Steve on Monday 13th October and I had such a great lovely time! He is very friendly and easy to talk to, it was really fun doing the shoot. He also has clear ideas about the shoot and gives direction very well. Also as we were working outside Steve brought along a duvet, feathered jacket, and a big flask of coffee for in between shooting, which I thought was very nice and thoughtful.

I would super recommend Steve very much, he is fabulous to shoot with :)

Steve Yates is one of the very few photographers I would be happy to shoot art nude with, as 1. The photos are amazing and 2.He is incredible company. I have know Steve for years and he's absolutely fantastic! I couldn't recommend him highly enough and theres only so much ass kissing I can do so here's what to expect on a shoot with Steve:

-Detailed pre-shoot discussions

-A trip up the lakes (possibly a hike up a mountain)

-An assistant waiting with coffee and a robe when its cold

-A fun filled day

-Probably the best photos your portfolio will ever have

-If you're awesome too, he'll recommend you to other amazing photographers

Nothing to lose, everything to gain- book him, simple as!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve on a shoot recently. He had great ideas and was really fun to work with. I will defiantly work with him again and would reccomend him to all over models.

I worked with Steve on one of my Lake District Tours in 2015. I say one of mine, but Steve's vastly more extensive knowledge of the Lake District immediately aided our effort in creating some memorable and unique shots.

They was sunny but rather windy and Steve was very considerate to my limits in how long I could shoot for before warming up. He came to the shoot armed with a flask of hot brew and advised in advance to make sure I had eaten etc That kind of prep and advice only comes from some one with a great know how of location work.

He's got a clear idea of what shots he like to create so direction is very simple. If you're lucky enough to catch a shoot with him on a windy day you'll even get to watch him act out a few poses he wants rather than waste time and body heat communicating verbally!

If Steve wants to shoot with - make it happen. You'll have a lovely time and the images speak for themselves.

Oh and Major came with us. My dog loves him which means you will too!
