I have worked with Stewart 4 or 5 times anyway it’s a few times and that speaks volumes! Stewart is absolutely lovely to work with, he is the consummate professional, so polite and respectful! Booking the shoot is always done with ease and communications are great. Stewart always prepares a mood board which is really helpful, he is open to listening to the models input too and when you shoot with Stewart it feels like a collaboration.

Throughout the shoot there are always plenty of breaks we shot for a full day and on that day I wasn’t that well but Stewart was very kind about it and between the breaks and cups of teas and chats we got some beautiful images!

The shoots always fly by with Stewart which is a good sign of a good shoot! I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Stewart!

I enjoyed meeting and working with Stewart for the first time during a weekend alongside the talented model Tryst doing a duo event organised at her place down in Penrith.

Creating a mixture from vintage, boudoir to nude styles we had a really fun session with amazing results.

Stewart is very pleasant company, easy going and we had a lovely and relaxed but also very productive shoot, between the three of us we had a whole heap of ideas and inspirations, ending up with some striking image results.

Arriving promptly and organised Stewart was full of enthusiasm and after an introduction and cuppy we made a plan whilst chatting and then got started creating some magic.

Communications with Stewart were spot on and during our time shooting he gave superb direction but was also happy for us to flow from pose to pose freely.

This genuinely lovely person is such a gent, friendly and respectful with a professional manner and arrived full of different concepts he wanted to try.

A pleasure to work alongside and I highly recommend this wonderful person and photographer to all.

Thank you again Stewart for such a wonderful duo shoot.

Until next time. 😁

I was so excited that Stewart booked a slot for my duo day hosted at home with Aurora Violet. He was the first booking of the day and showed up again prepared with a printed out mood board. He has a wonderful, friendly, and very professional approach, and is extremely organized. He handles my rough edges and enthusiasm well. He shot us beautifully; we recreated different ideas on the mood board, flowing from one scene to the next - he knew exactly what he wanted to capture. I hope we fulfilled his visions, and look forward to another shoot with him again some day.

Highly recommend Stewart - he has a delightful, collaborative, pleasant and professional energy and he made every effort to make our first shoot a success. Unfortunately my heath flared up and it wasn’t my best first impression, but he gave nothing but supportive comments all day, and while I was a bit freyed socially, I feel the photos themselves worked out pretty great for a first shoot! He came to work with me in my home after planning a shoot roughly a month ago - flawless organizational skills in the planning process, including presenting a mesmerising printed mood board for us to reference. I am very excited about making his acquaintance and will deliberately tour his area to work with him in the future.

Me and Stewart had a great shoot in the Peak District.

As usual, working with him is a breeze and I love how he comes with ideas and poses for me to try to create our ideas, I love working with him.

Highly recommended :D

It was my first time working with Stewart and both of our first time working at Barlow Studio. So it was a day of firsts lol! We chatted about shoot ideas a little before the shoot but once we arrived at the studio I think we were both overwhelmed with the choices that the studio offers ...... in a good way.

Stewart booked onto my studio day so we didn't have the longest of shoots but it was really productive, we both had good ideas and got some lovely images. I really enjoyed the shoot and we chatted about doing it again sometime soon. I would definitely recommend Stewart.

I have worked wine Stewart now 3 times and have another shoot in the diary! Stewart is absolutely lovely to work with the consummate professional, always so polite and respectful! We have shot half day and even a full day shoot and the time seems to fly by! Which is a sign that you are having a good time!

Stewart is so organised and comes with plenty of ideas and always shows you what images you are getting and even shares them with you too! He knows his lighting and photography and we always achieve some wonderful images!

I thoroughly enjoy working with Stewart and wholeheartedly recommend working with him! Looking forward to our next shoot!

100% recommend

I have worked with Stewart for many years now and its always a pleasure. He is very nice guy and easy to get along with. I love his ideas and we had great time working through them. Some of the shots looked amazing, so I look forward to seeing these.

I hope to work with him again before I retire and I would recommend to any model.

I had another great shooting with Stewart in the Peak district and the weather definitely blessed us! :)

We shot various styles, fashion, topless, sheer and art nude.

I was in the trees, in the water, in the forest, the meadows and more!

I look forward to having a proper look-through of all the images asap, as me and Stewart always seem to create magic!

Highly recommended photographer and human :)

This was my second time working with Stewart, this time he was visiting my area and suggested some time in my local studio and on location around the Norfolk coast. For the studio portion of our time together he came with clear ideas about what he wanted to achieve and we worked through them steadily. For the location work, (unfortunately the weather was against us from the start) but we made the best of it, we visited various beaches, dunes and ruins and got a wide range of images. Stewart was respectful, chatty and laid back, which is a big plus in my book! Looking forwards to seeing the results soon, many thanks for booking me again Stewart :)

(The chips and ice cream for lunch was muchly appreciated also)

Stewart came to work with us at Tankspace and we created some beautiful images together, some of my favourites being some bodyscapes working with the dappled light through the water in the tank. He was professional and clear with his vision and I felt very comfortable throughout. A lovely fellow who id be more than happy to work with again in the future, with great ideas and energy!

I had the pleasure of working with Stewart during a half day hire at tankspace and at a previous event a long while back. Stewart is polite, confident at explaining his ideas and creates a very comfortable working atmosphere! He was very understanding of the working conditions and mindful of both of us modelling on the day, making sure to check in often with us both and keeping the shoot light hearted and fun for all.

We got some fantastic images and the time spent working with him shooting really flew by! I would absolutely work with Stewart again in the future and highly recommend him to other studios/models.

Stewart came to shoot with Yoo Yoo on her weekend event at my studio. Great pre-shoot comms - both Yoo Yoo and I had a good idea of the sort of images Stewart was looking to create.

His manner in the studio was super - respectful towards our model. Great ideas and a pleasure to have around.

Thank you Stewart - I hope to work with you again.

I have worked with Stewart now twice and I hope it is not the last! First time it was in a studio and this time it was at my apartment I was staying in! Stewart’s communication is excellent and sorting the shoot was done with complete ease! He always comes prepared with ideas and a mood board which he send in advance of the shoot.

Stewart is honestly a gem of a photographer he’s such a lovely person, he’s got a fantastic eye and takes beautiful images which he kindly shares with you. The shoot is always relaxed, professional and Stewart is always polite and respectful. I have thoroughly enjoyed both my shoots with Stewart and I really hope the opportunity arises to shoot with him again! Wholeheartedly recommended!

I had my first shoot with Stewart at The Boardroom studio and I truly hope it’s not my last! What a fantastic 4 hours! Stewart’s communication was fab from start to finish and booking the shoot was done with ease.

As soon as Stewart arrived I knew it would be a good shoot a lovely friendly face and a warm person. Stewart sent me a moodboard before the shoot which was very helpful so I knew what to bring and the style we were shooting.

We started the shoot with some portraits and worked to art nude all of the images I saw looked beautiful! Stewart has a fab eye and knows his lighting! He came with his ideas but also welcomed mine too.

The time literally flew by lots of good chat whilst shooting, I felt completely at ease, Stewart is a consummate professional and always polite and respectful. Honestly it was just an absolute pleasure shooting with Stewart and really hope our paths will cross again! Wholeheartedly recommended! Thanks Stewart for such a lovely shoot!

Working with you on a Home Shoot here with me was a joy. You were friendly and really chatty throughout the shoot. Organising the shoot was so easy with straight forward communication and no crossed wires.

You arrived at my house on time with lights, props, camera/lenses ready to go.

The conversation flowed easily throughout and there was never an awkward moment.

I would work with you again without hesitation.

The only thing I will say is when meeting a model for the first time in her home, maybe don't give yourself the guided tour or let the animals out until she is there with you! :)

I shot with Stewart for the 5th time I think now? :)

We shot at an outdoor studio in Leicester and mostly, solemnly shot in the lake, as well as in nature.

Stewart was even able to accommodate a date change so that we could make sure the weather wasn't raining for our shoot and I'm glad we did so.

I loved many BOCs that I saw as usual and I am sure we did a very great job and have many brilliant and creative images.

I can highly recommend Stewart :)

I shot with Stewart during one of my Studio Days at a Studio in Leicester.

As always he is professional, respectful, lovely, creative and passionate about photography.

Always when we work together, I always come away with a great handful of images that I love!

I always thoroughly enjoy creating with him and I look forward to working together again.

I'm always extra happy waking up in the morning when I know I will be creating with Stewart.

Highly recommended photographer :)
