Wow, what else can I say but wow....

Steve is an absolute wonder to shoot with. He is extremely hospitable while being very modest and an absolute pleasure to work with. He booked me for a whole day down at the Angel hotel that he shoots at a few times a year. We had a great day together shooting tasteful nude images.

Steve is very respectful and kind to his models. He always shows the images on the back of the camera which I think is pretty much necessary to create good pictures. He also really does spoil the model and goes out of his way :) I love Steve's style and what he's about. He's just a lovely guy with a passion for tasteful nude photography.

I would absolutely shoot with Steve again and hope the opportunity is not too far away. Fantastic photographer that is highly recommended by me. :)

I shot with Steve earlier today and it was an absolute pleasure. We chatted beforehand and sorted out what look we were going for, while leaving it fairly open-ended. He bought my mum and I snacks and covered all expenses, as well as of course being an amazing photographer.

Steve shared the photos with us as we shot and took breaks, both on the camera and on his laptop, which was a huge help. He also then gave us a CD on the spot of all the photos, despite it being a paid shoot. He gave direction while letting me experiment with various ideas, and all in all made it an incredible day.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone, and honestly sets a high standard for other photographers to live up to!

Another fantastic shoot with Steve! He is one of my favourite photographers to work with- always a great, chilled-out, very very creative shoot. He is always mindful of my comfort and took me to a lovely Italian restaurant for lunch. We used the TV in my room to review the images so were able to improve on what we were doing and experiment with outfits and looks!

We later shot outside where we got even more beautiful images. :)

Thankyou again, Steve! Always a pleasure working with you. :)

I was lucky enough for steve to book me in his lovely home town of Guildford, where we shot in a fantastic hotel where I stayed for 2 nights- I just didnt want to ever leave!

Steve was welcoming and couldnt have been more accommodating if he tried, and this was throughout my whole stay. He met me at the station, where he walked me to where I stayed and we wirked together the following day. He even bought me lunch, definition of a gentleman right here!

Steve it a creative and very able photographer and I'm so happy with the results, very excited to share some of the images. We were truly spoiled for choice!

Very excited to work togetger and visit again in the near future. Couldnt be recommended more! X

What a true gentleman this man is!

I had seen some of Steve's work in the past years of me modelling and had always admired his classical/soft/dreamy style images and so decided I should message him to propose a shoot. When he accepted I was very happy :)

We arranged our shoot months in advance and Steve booked me into the beautiful 'Angel Posting House' which was where we shot also. What a delightful place, I couldn't believe the suite when I arrived. It was truly beautiful and I felt so happy to be staying there for 2 nights.

Steve made sure i was so well looked after with condiments in the room when I arrived and took me for lunch during our full days shoot and we went to a lovely Italian where the food was delightful :) I really enjoyed working with Steve, we worked very well together and combined both our ideas into the shoot. We reviewed images on the TV screen in the room which was really helpful for knowing what was working etc.

We created some wonderful images that I am very proud of!

I can only hope to work with Steve again sometime, thanks ever so much for a wonderful time.

Another shoot with Steve and I always enjoy working with him repeatedly

Always a true gent, kind hearted, a pleasure to be with and great company, not bad at taking images either !

Steve has become a friend over the years , and I feel his work has evolved with each shoot

working with natural light in this country can be quite daunting, but Steve always has a smile on his face and likes a challenge

one of the most relaxed photographers I have worked with, always chilled, relaxed and never stressed or rushed.

I hope you all enjoy the images as much as I like help creating them

Highly recommend to all

Thankyou again Steve for the beautiful suite you booked, the food and your company .. (pay me later ) :P

I adore working with Stephen!

He is one of the kindest people you will meet in this industry, with a true passion for his photographer and artwork. I always love our shoots together, they are right up my street in terms or style with not a single plain studio background in sight and instead a host of quirky rooms with bags of character.

We usually shoot at an adorable hotel he books in Guildford but this time round he took my recommendation to shoot at Shoreditch studio in London, which I'm really grateful to him for trusting my judgement and I'm so glad he liked the place as much as me.

With Stephen shooting natural light and our shoot being in winter we were in a battle with mother nature for the dimming light but even then we got some absolutely beautiful images in our time together and I'm yet again blown away by the final results!

Fab photographer and even better company :)

Highly recommended by me!

Stephanie Dubois

I had the pleasure of working with Stephen the other week down south in Guildford. The shoot was very quickly and easily arranged and pre-shoot comms were perfect.

Stephen himself is such a lovely person to work with. Super easy to get along with and conversation flowed with ease. He has a lovely style to his images so I was so pleased we had the opportunity to work together.

I cant recommend him highly enough and I look forward to the next time.

Thanks again for a great day.

Elesha Eden

Well Stephen and I have shot together over the years of me being on pp now and every shoot is just so wonderful.

He is just such a nice person, so relaxed and calm but a real salt of the earth person..a rarity these days

his photography is just awesome, he lets me pose freely , he knows his light on location and goes out his way to get that perfect shot

His naturally caring attitude is beyond belief ..such a genuine nice respectful kind person.

I wish I could keep him all to myself :!

Thankyou Stephen for another wonderful day

Mr Steve Trussler is a models dream photographer! I have never been so well lookedy weekend trip to Guilford feel more like a city break rather than work!

What a lovely person Steve is! And this becomes clear from the first pre comms (which have been fantastic)!

Steve uses a beautiful hotel to work in and kindly let me stay there also which was pure luxury! On first arriving Steve took me for a beautiful meal and I really enjoyed his company!

Our shoot was fabulous! Again, first thing he did was make sure I had snacks/drinks for the day and made sure I was happy! I really wanted to make sure we got some good shots as I wanted to make the effort Steve went to worthwhile and I think we did indeed!

Steve is a great photographer who is relaxed, and works to get the shot, rather than just clicking and hoping! He thinks about angles etc to try and get the best shot possible, and boy does he produce some great work! Love the shots he's done already, and so do other people according to pp!

He cares more about the quality of his images than the quantity... really putting his all into the images and also welcoming input from the model which is great! Our shoot was so relaxed it flew by! (Which was sort of a shame as it was lots of fun)

I'm so pleased to have worked with Steve before he takes a step back from model photography, but really hope he'll be stepping forward soon as I'd work with him again any day, and would highly recommend him to every model!

Thanks so much Steve!

Roswell Ivory

I had a second shoot with Steve earlier this month and again, would highly recommend him. Pre-shoot communication was great, he took the time to pick me up from the coach stop, made sure I was comfortable, well-fed and that the shots were turning out well- and we even got to do a bit of sightseeing .

I love the images we've made and really look forward to working together again. :)

Rachelle Summers

Ahh what can I say about Steve? He is just utterly lovely to work with!

So laid back and relaxed, caring more about the quality of his images than the quantity... really putting his all into the images and is always happy for the model to make suggestions too. It's a real collaboration working with him and he makes sure to show you all the images on the back of the camera so you can make tweeks if you want to :)

The hotel he hires to shoot from is just to die for with truly stunning setting to work in :)

Add to all that he is just a genuine, friendly man and looks after his models incredibly well, all makes for a super day!

Really hope to work with him again soon :)

I have just had my second shoot with Steve :) As always, pre-shoot communications were great and Steve was friendly, professional and great company.

We shot lots of different sets working on using the natural light to our advantage. Steve always has ideas that he wants to work on and it is a pleasure to work with him. :D

I had the pleasure of another fantastic shoot with Steve, this time at a Hotel in Guilford in early Feb 2016.

Steve was fantastic with his pre-shoot comms and treated me with respect and kindness, from the very start. He made such an effort to make sure I was comfortable and happy throughout and we worked on some fantastic images during the day. Steve is creative and knowledgeable, but he is interested in his models input and ideas, and works well with them as an equal. The time flew by and we had a very fun shoot.

We created so many great images during the shoot (some of which you can see on his and my ports), and I look forward to seeing more!

Highly recommended to all, and hope to see him again soon!

My 4th shoot with the lovely Stephen and my last of the year in 2015

And I am so happy I got to shoot my last shoot with one of the most lovely kind hearted and genuine photographers on pp

A true gent and a real down to earth man with a heart of gold

Stephen had progressed so much in the time I have worked with him

It is a real pleasure to see he is still so focussed and wants the best from his models and shoots

a perfect balance of shoot time, conversation , totally relaxed and stress free :)

would I recommend Stephen ?

If I could could keep him to myself I would :P

a great photographer and person

All the best for 2016

What an enjoyable day/evening in the company of Steve!

His pre shoot communications before were great, he was kind enough to let me stay in the hotel he was booking for the shoot which was utterly to die for!

We had a lovely, relaxed day working together and making our way through a few sets. Steve is so laid back and easy to get on with, it really was a pleasure working with him :)

Felt like I had known him years, and he is an utter gentlemen!

Highly recommended by me and hope to work with him again soon!

Steve was lovely to work with, perfectly on time and nice to chat to - being fairly new to this I appreciated him being really chilled but also very professional, and he was kind enough to let me stop off for snacks etc, even though I was on his clock. I love the images that I've seen so far too! Although it was a new format for him, shooting on the street, he really made it work and was very patient even with crowds all around and lots of heat and distraction. Would absolutely recommend him to new and experienced models.

Shoots like these make you pinch yourself! Working with people like Steve is the ultimate perk of my job. A complete and utter gentleman through and through, with an excellent personality so easy to get on with! We had an incredible experience shooting today in one of the nicest venues I've had the pleasure of working in. From the very first moment of contact I found him to be very pleasant and organised, not to mention professional and down to earth..respectful, undemanding, kind.. I was treated like royalty.

We had a lot of laughs and great banter, making for a very enjoyable days work. VERY highly recommended to other models without a shadow of a doubt.

What a pleasant experience to meet you, Steve! I enjoyed very much our shoot together and the hospitality. As a US model working in UK, I expected a bit of logistic hurdles, but you made it so easy. Terrific experience and highly recommended!
