I can't express how happy I was that Steve booked on my London tour!

We had such a wonderful experience working together on my last visit here shooting duo with Kelsey Wolfe, so of course when I got the message this time I did an audible squeak of happiness! I just knew it would be another thoroughly enjoyable day filled with laughs and creativity.

Steve is an absolute gem to work with. He delivered perfect pre-comms & organisation beforehand, kindly came to meet me at the station and even took me to the shop to buy me lunch & snacks for the shoot again! Such a perfect host. His set up at home is so comfy and warm and I was very looked after all throughout.

We shot some absolutely stunning imagery! We got really into mirrors this time and created some gorgeously serene and artistic shots. The results were just fantastic. Steve is such a talented photographer, a perfect host and an all round lovely person. Such a joy to spend half a day with again!

I can't recommend him highly enough, if you get the chance to shoot with him definitely do and I'm already dead excited for the next time.

Thanks so much Steve! 😊

Had my first shoot with Strussler today… and I couldn’t be happier about how it went!

Pre comms were great. It was lovely that he asked what snacks I liked.

The shoot was nice and relaxed. Breaks to look at images from camera on the tv and also keep fuelled with snacks. No pressure to do anything I didn’t want to do.

I’m super happy with the pics!! They are honestly amazing

Look forward to working together again

HOLY MOLY YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES....

I LOVE SHOOTING WITH STEVE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT...

I am super relaxed around Steve and he treats me so well...

Steve is professional, respectful and down to earth...

We mainly shoot art nude, erotic and bodyscapes...

We knew from the get go we were both nailing it hehe...

When you run out of ideas; you just need to look around Steve's house for inspiration, which has so many incredible drawings in frames and statues...Steve also has fantastic books...

Neither of us take ourselves too serious and I wonder if that is why we produce so many good images...

We both looked at our shots on Steve's tv and they look sooooo good...

I drive home singing to songs and dancing...That is what happens after working with Steve haha...

Steve has already sent me everything by email, I literally received them when I got home...

All in all you cannot go wrong working with the lovely Steve...

Thank you sooooooo much for booking me...

PS thank you for all the goodies, you are so kind to me...

Yet another fab shoot with Stephen as always, the light wasn't always on our side this time round but it eventually behaved and we got some rally nice images and the time just flew by as it always does when working with Stephen as we always have plenty to chat about.

Always happy to supply food for some lunch whilst there and even lets me take some home with me or for the journey home which is always greatly appreciated and the chocs certainly didn't last long this time round either haha!

Very highly recommend, such a lovely guy to work with and I'm already looking forward to the next shoot.

Until next time!! :D

Like my last reference...I struggle to make it good enough to express the shoot...

VERY VERY VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY SPARKLY SPARKLES...

Steve and I have shot loads of times now...

Steve's number one priority is making sure his models are comfortable and happy...I always am...

Steve has really tasty coffee and lots of it...

We shot in Steve's loft for a change and he even gave me some tote socks to put on to make it more pleasant going up the ladder...WHAT A GENTLEMAN...It was getting so hot in the loft but we were nailing shot after shot, so Steve suggested spraying me with water and this made the images look even better haha but he was roasting and carried on and on and on...

In a nutshell:

Steve is professional, respectful and super down to earth...

We never run out of ideas...

We work so well together...

Steve makes a shoot so fun you don't want to leave haha...

We produce incredible pictures...

Thank you sooooooooooo much and I cannot wait to work with you again...

PS thank you for the delicious lindt chocolates, I am enjoying them right now...

Stephen and I had been talking about working together a while ago and decided to book a shoot together in Guildford, the communication between us was great from the start and he was so kind and considerate and made me feel very comfortable before I’d even met him! I was really looking forward to working with him on my trip to London and beyond.

A week before our shoot, I had a few changes in plans - which he was completely understanding about and it actually led to us defining to do a duo shoot with Feraline whilst we were both in the area. This absolutely delighted me, and meant that Stephen was going to be our first duo shoot together.

He booked a stunning hotel for us to shoot in that happened to match our hair impeccably well - as we both have ginger hair currently. Stephen also met us at the station and walked us to the hotel, a real gentleman and also got us snacks for our shooting time. Honestly, this human is so thoughtful and I really appreciated the extra effort to make us both comfortable throughout the shoot.

When we began shooting it was wonderful as we were getting incredible shots from the get go, Feraline and I brought a range of outfits with us to compliment the hotel scene and we were both blown away by how much we all got along together and Stephen’s amazing camera skills, his use of light is so dreamy and we were all incredibly excited by the results.

I cannot wait to get on my laptop and see the rest of them properly! The shoot absolutely flew by and I cannot thank him enough for giving me such a welcoming beginning to my tour and to London.

Highly recommended by me, and I cannot wait to return to work together again!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Stephen!

He booked me and Kelsey Wolfe together during our stay in London, which was the first of our long-awaited duo shoots together! And what a complete and utter joy it was.

Stephen met us at the train station and was a beaming delight to be around from the get go. He kindly walked us to the location via the shops to make sure we had snacks and refreshments too, clearly a very considerate and lovely soul!

He had booked us the most GORGEGOUS room at a local hotel to shoot in, furnished with beautiful red curtains to match our hair, stunning wooden mirrors and the most elegant cosy armchairs to sink right into. As myself and Kelsey had brought an array of various garments to fit the mood, we shot a range of looks from regency-esque portraiture, to dreamy romantic nudes draped in lace and light by the window, each set producing more and more wonderful imagery - which Stephen would periodically show us via the tv link so we could assess as we go, which I always really appreciate!

I LOVED how creatively Stephen utilised the room, and how well we all gelled together really was the perfect way to kick off my time in London and a perfect introduction to duo shooting.

I can't wait to properly look through all the images as the ones we've seen so far are just beautiful!

Highly recommended by me of course.

Thanks again Stephen, I'm dead excited for our paths to cross again!

OMG how do I give Steve a reference that can tell you how amazing he is to work with...Will try my best...

I cannot recommend Steve enough...

100% from Sparkly Sparkles...

First off Steve and I have been working together for years...I remember when I first shot with Steve and he makes you feel so comfortable...

Steve is a gentleman, professional, respectful, creative, fun and just awesome to work with...

Steve really looks after his models...

When I first walked into Steve's place today I noticed there were no chocolates on the table (I thought he must of hid them from me because I eat them all haha) but he said he bought me some and they were delicious...

Steve and I created incredible images (that were really different to most shots I do)...

In a nutshell if you get offered to shoot with Steve...DO IT...

Thank you so much for today and what a way to spend a Sunday afternoon...

I worked with Steve for the first time today at a 1-2-1 session organised by Inspire Studios and it was a true pleasure to work with him.

From the minute he came in he was friendly and relaxed. Time really flew by and I couldn't believe it when our time was up! We got through so many ideas in our short amount of time and from the BOC I was very happy with our results. Can't wait to see the final edited images and I do hope we will work together again very soon :)

I can't recommend this fabulous photographer, and friend enough. Steve and I have worked together countless times since.. what, 2018? And each time has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege.

Steve is incredibly generous in making sure the model has ultimate comfort.. from looking after specific dietary needs to being time-conscious ensuring we get home safe and in good time, etc. This has always been my personal experience in his company, and his communication is flawless.

He has the utmost respect for the art and we have often spent much enjoyable time over a cuppa looking through his many photography books and growing art & scultupture collection!

For our most recent shoot yesterday, Steve travelled down to me and I felt priviliged to be the model for his first ever beach shoot.

Steve is very much a collaborator; and he loves bouncing ideas around and trying experimental methods, lenses, lighting, etc.

Absolutely love working with him, and already looking forward to the next time! Thanks for everything, Steve x

OH YES OH YES HE IS THE BEST...

CAN YOU TELL HOW HYPER STEVE HAS MADE ME WITH PRODUCING SUCH AMAZING IMAGES...

Steve always brings out the best in me and I climb over his furniture (with his permission) just to get that shot we want haha...

He treats me extremely well and I am soooooo comfortable around him...

One of our best shoots to date...

He is professional, respectful, down to earth, chatty, kind, caring and fun...

He had so many awesome props to work with...With a combination of fun ideas and Steve's bubbly personality the time went ridiculously quick...

He has bought loads of incredible pictures and it was also fun copying the poses...

He is very good at angles and lighting...Super quick at it too...

The perfect shoot today...

Thank you for booking me...

What a fab time, Finally shot with the wonderful Strussler at his home (very locally to me!)

We had some wonderful light from Mother Nature.

A few cuppas and some great angles and wardrobe changes and we created some wonderful contemporary yet classic shots that were peaceful and tasteful to be proud of.

Felt like I was visiting a dear friend, would highly recommend.

Thankyou so very much.

I had a lovely second shoot with Stephen after what feels like years. We have always kept in touch and he has been very supportive of my own work behind the lens which I am ever so grateful for.

Stephen is friendly, chatty, professional and arrived on time, absolutely reliable photographer and one who clearly keeps on enjoying and exploring photography since we last worked together, showcased beautifully in his portfolio. I look forward to seeing more of our captures this second time round and see where it will take him. I saw some excellent shots taken on the day.

Thank you Stephen for your kindness and generosity. Highly recommended photographer.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen, what an amazing photographer.

The shoot was so well organized, communication pre-shoot was excellent, the ideas were super clear and great. The session went phenomenal. He is super professional, great eye for detail, and very kind and patient. I totally recommend him as one of the best photographers in this platform. I am really looking forward to work with him again.

Working with strussler was an absolute pleasure! Super stress free and the whole team just worked magnificently to create some amazing images. Always okay with me coming in to touch up, and shot some great BTS images for me. I sincerely hope I get to work with Steve again and would definitely recommend him. :)

Love-Lee

I had my very first shoot with Steve and I was overwhelmed with happiness at the results we got.

Didn’t even notice the time go by! I would recommend Steve for any model who wants a really easy flowing shoot.

Looking forward to working with him again in the near future.

Best x Love-Lee

I had my first shoot with Steve yesterday what a gentleman he is very easygoing and made me laugh. We got to shoot a variety of different shots from art nude to beauty/editorial and had my make-up done by talented Mariola. It was such a fun shoot.

Highly recommend Steve to any model.

Look forward to working with again in near future.

Stephen is Lovely to work with and gets some fabulous shots. Had a great group shoot as a last minute add on and what a joy it was to work with such a great group of photographers. Only just got round to adding a reference but Stephen made me feel very comfortable and got some of the best shots of the day. I'd highly recommend. Would love to shoot with him again!
