Worked with Simon many times and this time was just as good. I wanted to do something with my newest addition to my weird wardrobe and Simon being epic with the lightning (as always) made it look so awesome.

He even helped me with some portfolio shots, which was very kind.

If you need some to help you with portfolio, I can't recommend enough. Simon is amazing with lightning and set up everytime!

I had yet another exceptional shoot with Stoke, this was my second shoot. My first shoot was such a success that I got extra excited for another.

I haven't modelled in a while which was starting to get me down, my shoot with Stoke helped bring back all that passion and drive.

He is a genius when it comes to lighting, composition and editing. He can have the most basic set up and later on make it look outstanding. Stoke is always looking for ways to improve and is open to experimenting. The studio is always made warm so that us models are relaxed and comfortable, he has a way of making you feel at home.

It did not take long for me to see the outcome of the shoot. Stoke mostly certainly does not take the piss, he is on it and is on top form with communication.

I look forward to shooting with him again.

Highly Recommend.

Stoke attended another event at our studio recently. One of the things that stands out are his efforts in treating models with respect and courtesy, always makes the model comfortable. He also knows his photography and works enthusiastically to get great results, fits in well with other people and has a very pleasant manner. He is happy to pass his learnings on to others too - highly recommended!

I shot with Stoke as part of a studio day at Mick Payton’s studio in wales.

He was an absolute pleasure to work with, not afraid to give directions to achieve the look he wanted and to get the best for his picture. He was very respectful when doing implied work to ensure I was comfortable and would always let me know he was doing a test shot.

He was very professional, and very easy to get along with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others!

Finally got to shoot with Simon again after a pretty long covid break! He's one of those people who gets better each time you work with them and always has great new ideas. He's always good to chat to and totally professional. I'm pretty certain the results of this shoot will be the best we've achieved yet and I'm sure we'll be working together again soon. :)

Highly recommended!

Finally got to shoot for the first time with Stoke after having to postpone due to the pandemic. After the lockdown started easing I messaged Stoke again to enquire if he was still interested in working together and thankfully he was. We shot for about 2 hours and achieved some amazing images together.

Stoke was professional throughout and created a relaxed atmosphere and was easy to get along with. We chatted for ages like old friends. I will definitely be working with Stoke again. He is definitely highly recommended by me.

finally after what feels like forever i got to shoot with simon/stoke again!

the last shoot was fun but these was even better!

Simon is fun chatty and totally down to earth and he’s a laugh to work with to. He had so many cool idea and things i’d never shot before which was amazing and his knowledge on lighting is incredible !

we managed to get about 4 different sets and i can’t wait to see the photos!

I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough and i can’t wait to shoot again with him soon :)

My first shoot with Stoke was fantastic. It was a style I'd never done before, but instructions were very clear, and he was very patient with me. Some stunning results, and he was easy to get along with.

Pre shoot comms were wonderful, I knew exactly what I needed to bring, and what to expect.

Stoke's studio is also a lovely and comfortable place. Highly recommended, and looking forward to our next shoot!

Had two excellent shoots with Stoke within a few weeks of each one, first shooting a mix of fairy light portraits, and demonic gel lighting, make up done by the lovely Ms Kinkink, and the second was a rather fun clown affair, clothing and makeup sorted by Ms Kinkink again, and we did some ridiculously wonderful duo shots - Stoke is an absolute genius with lighting.

And is a brilliant soul, friendly, relaxed, chatty, excellent sense of humour and such an eye for insanely cool pictures. An amazing dude.

Would highly recommend to all models and creatives.

Until next time!

Had another awesome shoot with StokeParker yesterday.

Absolutely smashed it out of the park, he had a few new ideas worked out that really paid off and was even kind enough to allow me to use he's staff and props for a few shots which I really appreciated.

Already agreed the next shoot so there'll be plenty more to come.

Stoke attended a workshop at our studio in presteigne today, a very knowledgeable guy who knows what he's looking for and has the skills to achieve his goals. Mixes very well with others and imparts knowledge freely, also treats models with the utmost respect. Gives direction very well and communicates his needs to the model easily, good guy to have around, welcome here anytime!

I had the opportunity to work with Stoke at a group workshop and I'm really glad I did. Stoke was able to offer new perspectives to shoots and was not afraid to get stuck in with ideas.

Stoke is easy to work with, approachable and has a keen eye for a great shot!

I am excited to see what he captured and hopeful we can work together again.

Thanks Stoke! X

It felt great to be working with Simon again (at last)!

He has an absolutely amazing eye for an image, and comes up with the best (and most whacky) lighting set ups that NEVER fail to amaze me!

Simon is respectful, great fun and a really lovely guy to work with.

Can not recommend him enough! Already looking forward to our next shoot together. :)

I recommend so so much!

First time working with Stoke as he has previously worked with another model who is my best friend and loved his work, this was a location shot and from the get go I instantly felt comfortable and relaxed I've wanted to shoot with Stoke for a while as his work is phenomenal, I would highly recommend him to any model even new can't wait to work with him again 10/10.

My first shoot of 2021 and my first time work with Simon on an outdoor shoot!

Was a bit nervous at the beginning as its been a long time but I felt at such ease with Simon, we met at a local location which was great.

In or out of a studio, Simon is fantastic! Really helped me with my confidence today (thank you very much)

I definitely recommend Simon (going back to shoots after so long can be nervous) but this shoot made me feel awesome again ^^

Recently worked with stoke parker again. I've lost count how many times we have worked together but it's never the same thing twice. This time was another clown shoot, with myself also as a MUA on another model as well as doing some duo shots too.

This was probably one of my favourite shoots to date. Great company great concept and it also involved a little bit of fire.

Always a pleasure working with this incredibly talanted photographer. His passion for photography is clear to see.

Always have ideas for working with this photographer weather it's as a model or a MUA.

He is respectful and always proffesional in his approach.

Look forward to the next one.

Highly recommend working with stoke Parker.

Had my second shoot with Stoke Parker the other day and it was awesome!

Lots of clown and fire related craziness with the awesome Mrs Kinkink.

He even let me use his sword which I'm now in love with.

Turn around on pictures is really fast too.

Had a lovely shoot with Simon today, I couldn't help myself but to back a suitcase full of stuff hehe.

It was a very big collab, example I brought outfits and Simon had stuff to match with worked for the most fantastic results!

We did an awesome punk series and a silver set, Simon was even accommodating for me to wear an outfit because I wanted shots of it 🤗.

I always impressed with the lighting and very looking forward to learning more as a photographer in the future (that would be nice)

Not to mention having more photos with my new hair colour (yay) and got some EPIC Muscle photos!

Obviously recommend 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

Ah, what an absolutely epic shoot with this fellow - this soul knows his lighting, and isn't afraid to experiment, loved the images that we created when we shot for the first time a couple of weeks ago! Stoke wanted to try some awesome projection sets, before delving into a few gel set ups, some latex, props, a wonderful lunch, lots of chatting - had a blast!

Stoke is a brilliant individual, smart, kind, inspirational, and deeply respectful - would HIGHLY recommend him to all models and creatives. Really enjoyed working with you, thank you man!
