I’m so thrilled getting the opportunity to shoot with Steve again on Saturday, our third photoshoot this year.

Steve is super friendly, easy to shoot with, we all work naturally and effectively, as a team. Steve is a truly lovely gentlemen, who is ever so accommodating. Steve is very relaxing to shoot with. One of the most modest and humble photographers I’ve come across with the most sincerest of hearts! His feminine style of photography has really become a signature. Classy and sophisticated, which I personally love. No wonder Steve has become a highly regarded and respected photographer on here.

Thank you ever so much for Saturday Steve! I love working with you and I can’t wait to shoot with you again in the near future xx

Working with Steve is more of an event to look forward to than "work"! He merits the highest recommendation and continues to be in the top tier of paying photographers in the industry; you wont find a nicer, more decent photographer to work with. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to shoot with Steve, dont think twice.

Steve kindly agreed to meet me after we spoke following a 'share shoot' I posted and an obvious interest in my erotic style of posing for quite a while :) He booked me there and then to shoot the very next day at my home.

It was a very enthusiastic shoot, trying different rooms with various small props.

I know we nailed quite a few poses as I had the advantage to see the shots in mono on the back of his camera after each set, helping me improve the poses or the angle of the location. Steve was receptive of any input I had to bring to the the shoot. He knows I know my body well and my home too.

I hope to see a few edits from each set as I saw some lovely work created that day.

Steve is a lovely dynamic gentleman. 100% reliable and very respectful too.

Thank you Steve for your energy.

I had yet another wonderful shoot with Steve !! Steve is one of my favourite people to work with! Though work is not really the right word for it! Shooting with Steve is more like catching up with a good friend as that's really what it is with some shooting as well! :D

We had a wonderful time with shooting, eating, walking, chatting, looking through photography books! We shot in a range of different styles both at the hotel and in Steves lovely home. Every time we shoot we get even more wonderful shots. I love that Steve puts so much into his images! Always trying new angles, always coming up with new ideas!! Always happy to try any ideas I suggest, no matter how mad! So every time we finish a shoot with totally different shots, all of the wonderful quality! I'm always so proud to be a part of steves art and I love it when I get a message asking for another shoot :D

Steve is very relaxed, there is always a wonderful atmosphere and the time always flies by! Steve is one of the photographers I couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Well I had an amazing amazing morning with Steve recently in London! We had such a nice time and it will be a morning that I will always treasure!!

Breakfast before our shoot because I hadn't slept well and we were both hungry so had a wonderful start to the morning. Then we arrived at the Studio (The Hacienda) and started to create some beautiful art. I loves Steve's approach to shooting! Natural light all the way and I adore his angles and compositions!! Steve is such a talented photographer. It is understandable why he is so relaxed when shooting as it really doesn't take him long to get those lovely shots.

After our shoot we had a lovely trip around the vintage markets with a bit of street shooting and candid shots too! I just wish Steve didn't live so far away as I'd love to be able to see him more as he is just such a lovely man and I very much enjoy his company.

A brilliant photographer, a true gentleman and a good friend! I would highly recommend him and I am very excited for our next shoot!

I had the absolute pleasure to shoot with Steve for the second time on Wednesday. Steve is so down to earth, easy going and the kindest photographer I’ve ever shot with!

Steve is very relaxed in approach, stops in between sets, to show me what the photos look like. He even showed me on the TV, which was a thoughtful touch.

Steve uses beautiful natural light and uses it to his advantage.

Steve is a joy to work with, super friendly, humble, modest, respectful, laid back with the most generous kind heart in the industry, he has become my closest friend and I couldn’t have such an amazing friend to shoot with!

We went and shot in a beautiful hotel in sonning, which Steve booked for the whole day. It looked like we got some cracking shots. We also went outside and got some awesome images around sonning to boot. I can’t wait for the CD, and I’m super excited to look at the images.

He made me and My Mum so welcome. We are a dream team :p All three of us have become such good friends, and rightly so!!

If you have not done a photoshoot with Steve yet, please do! I highly recommend Steve and I truly can’t wait for our third shoot!! Xxx

I had the absolute pleasure in working with Steve by the off chance due to a change of circumstances and I can definitely say that I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing.

He is such a lovely down to earth guy that you can't help but warm to. The shoot was really relaxed, with him stopping after sets to show us the images so we could then reflect on them and what to do next. Considering the time frame that we had and without any planning, we produced a tonne of cracking pictures and with minimal shots taken which is 1 thing I love about Steve. He takes a few shots, moves position, gives some direction if needed and knows when he's got what he wants. (no machine gun clicking)

I highly recommend Steve, you will have nothing but a great time in his company!

Thank you for being such a wonderful photographer to work with buddy and your kindness will not be forgotten.

Steve is the truest gentleman!

It had been a while since our first encounter and I'd contacted Steve earlier in the year to shoot but he is so busy with shoots that it was looking like summer time before we'd get the chance to arrange anything.

Despite the original plans falling through, Steve took it completely in his stride & even came up with a great plan to solve anyone losing out. He is so incredibly kind. My partner LeonLift was touring with me & so Steve took advantage & booked a duo shoot with the both of us, despite having not shot a male or a couple before he didn't let that affect him.

Steve always books accommodation for the models & usually treats you to a lunch or evening meal out too. Which is soooo amazingly kind of him. The rooms are of a very high standard & he makes use of the natural light that the room soaks in. The images are always beautiful and show emotion/story.

Even though plans changed last minute, Steve was prepared with ideas for our duo shoot and from the offset the results were truly breathtaking. He always puts them onto the TV screen so that we can all look through and see what we are creating together, such team work!!

Steve is one of my favourite people to work with and spend time with, we haven't shot together all that much but I can honestly say he is one of the gems of this industry and I will always look forward to working with him,

Recommended wholeheartedly, thank you again

Another wonderful shoot with Steve!

This time a day and a half shoot at the wonderful hotel he uses in Guildford.

Shooting with Steve is always something I look forward to. He is one of the nicest, sweetest and most genuine photographers I've had the pleasure of meeting in this industry. We always have a lovely catch up whilst creating seriously stunning images :)

Already looking forward to next time our paths cross!

Highly, highly recommended :D

I was highly looked forward to my shoot with Steve and he exceeded my expectations.

Most respectable, relaxed, reliable and a true gentleman, I had a beautiful experience shooting with him. We created for a full day different sets and took several breaks to look at the pictures and correct if applicable. Well in controlled, he impressed me with his on-spot composition and his understanding of lighting.

The pictures I have seen so far are quite lovely and I can't wait to back again shooting with this wonderful person!

Highly recommended!

I was very much looking forward to my shoot with Steve. It was planned in advance and I found his pre-comms to be very polite, positive and concise. The day was even better than I'd imagined, if that was even possible. From start to finish, I was treated with the utmost kindness, hospitality and professionalism. Plus, great convo!

I was treated so well and even went home with a disc full of incredible photography. I'm usually my biggest critic but I was so happy with the images straight out of the camera because Steve is that talented a photographer. It's easy to see how passionate he is about the craft and this is evident in the outcomes.

I feel privileged to have worked with him and am already counting down to the next shoot!

I’ve been meaning to shoot with Steve for what seems like forever. We finally got round to shooting on Sunday.

Steve has a fantastic eye for detail, is very attentive and an absolute gentlemen. Steve was kind enough to show me the images from the back of the camera throughout the shoot. Steve gave me a CD to take home with me, so I could see every single image that we produced throughout the day. We are already planning on shoot number two.

Thank you so much for a wonderful day Steve. You are a gem!

This was my third shoot with Steve and it was so lovely to have a proper catch up and work together again.

Steve's shoots are so relaxed and laid back as he is just great company and easy to work with.

This time, Steve used both digital and film cameras and worked with the natural available light.

I love what I have seen so far and thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Thank-you so much for another brilliant shoot.

Definitely recommended!! :D

I've worked with Steve several times now and each time we create something different- and even better than our last shoot!

This time we shot latex, bohemian fashion and nude in a beautiful hotel room. I was well fed and taken care of as always, he's awesome company as always and I look forward to our next shoot. As always. :D

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Steve Recently for the second time and I just had such a wonderful time!

Steve is one of the loveliest people I have met during my career and I fee very luck to know him, and to get to shoot with him!

Steve is a models dream to be quite honest, as working with him is SO EASY! and so enjoyable! Pre comms are fantastic! We organised a shoot with no fuss at all. Steve is SUPER helpful, he was so kind and really helped me out of a tricky situation which I appreciated SO MUCH!

This is just Steve's nature - he likes to make sure his models are happy and comfortable at all times and he really does go the extra mile!

Our shoot was just brilliant! We had a beautiful room to work in and we really made the most of what we had doing a large range of different sets! We had a range of different natural light which was really great to work with! I just love so many images from our day! Our first shoot was great but this one was even better!!! :D As I said to hm on the day, what I love about Steve's work is that it is quite feminine, in that his images make his model look beautiful and sensual.

After our fabulous shoot Steve took me for a wonderful dinner! I really enjoy working with Steve and just love his company! He is indeed in my list of top people to work with! and I hope we get to have another shoot next year :D HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Rachelle Summers

I've worked with Steve numerous times now but today was by far our best and most productive shoot. From the word go everything just clicked and the images being produced were insaneee! Almost every single shot was a winner, such a good hit rate and over the moon with what we managed to produce together :D

We then enjoyed a lovely meal afterwards before he helped me with all my bags back to the station!

Steve is so lovely and respectful, and great company too. The whole day is always so relaxed, not rushing the shoot and just taking things at an easy pace. Highly, highly recommended by me :D

Stephanie Dubois

Steve is a star! Such a lovely chap! This is the second time we have shot now and it was a great shoot. Steve is always very mindful of how a mondel feels during a shoot, comfort and full tummies are very important haha! I always feel very at ease in Steve's company and he is so easy to get along with and chat to. Im always sad when our shoots finish.

I really cannot recommend Steve highly enough - He's one of my favourite people to work with.

Thanks again Steve :D
