I honestly had the best time working with Stuart. Not only he is an amazing photographer but he also a great human being. I was already amazed only by seeing the unedited work during the shoot and the prints he had exhibited in his studio but then I received the edited work and my mind was blown, Stuart's creativity and craftsmanship is just another level. He was also super accommodating and friendly and just a pleasure to be around. He even put my favourite music during the shoot. I fully recommend him!

Once again, Stuart never disappoints. He is definitely one of my favourite photographers to work with. We had our second shoot which was planned months ahead of time. I proposed the sci-fi and red queen themes. He put a great deal of effort during the brainstorming process, explaining to me in detail from a photography and editing perspective, what works and what doesn't. He also bought extra materials and went out of his way to take pictures of the National Portrait Gallery for the background. We were fully prepared and managed to produce some flawless shots. Stuart is very professional, giving me directions and adjusting my posing to capture me in the most flattering manner. He is very skilled with lighting setups, allowing us to create great variety from just the raw images. Finally, as our project required lots of editing, he is mindful of how we should capture the raw images such that they merge well with the backdrops we chose. I definitely gave Stuart a lot of homework for this project and as expected, he pulled it off perfectly. He also consulted my opinion during the editing process and is very receptive to my feedback. I will definitely work with Stuart again. He produced some of my best images. I strongly and highly recommend him.

I had my first TFP shoot with Stuart and I can’t recommend him enough! I felt so at ease and confident that Stuart was going to get some amazing images. His creativity and relaxing personality made the shoot so fun. The images we created are fantastic, they’re getting me a lot of work so I’m incredibly grateful! The process was really chill and prepared, the mood boards gave me the perfect set up of what clothes to bring. Can’t wait to work with you again Stuart!

I had an excellent shoot with Stuart. He epitomises what TFP and collaboration is all about. He was professional prior to and during the shoot and also very respectful. Shared a moodboard and asked for my opinion. On the day he also asked for my input in the creative process as well as allowing me to feedback on the pictures as we went along. He is very talented and experienced and as a result - I also got some tips which was a bonus. Very easy going, helped me relax, and as a result we enjoyed it so much ended up going an hour more than planned. Would certainly recommend him and look forward to working with him again. Thank you Stuart!

Had a brilliant shoot with Stuart, his communication was amazing and sent me a great mood board to start off which he had printed off when I arrived.

His home studio is lovely and I had my own space to change and was made to feel comfortable and at home when I arrived.

Stuart is so creative and amazing at coming up with ideas to improve the shot and helped me with one of my weaknesses which is my facial expressions in photos. He helped me try and improve them and gave me lots of useful tips and things to try out during the shoot.

He has a huge array of different lighting techniques to hand and a selection of props and jewelery to add to any outfits.

Received some of the images the very same night and they are incredible, Stuart is very skilled in editing.

Had lots of fun but also learnt so much at the same time, hope we can do a shoot again!

Had a shoot with Stuart yesterday and I couldn’t recommend more. Communication was great and the mood boards were fantastic. When I arrived to the shoot he already had everything set up and was ready to go. He was relaxed and professional. Stuart was also a lot of fun, creative and all round a joy to work with. Not to mention the images I have seen so far are astounding. I can’t wait to work with him again.

Wonderful shoot with Stuart today. Lovely studio set up with a variety of props to play around with. He is detail oriented and gives clear, precise directions to photograph you in the best light. Viewing the images on the computer as we shoot allows us to make corrections and come up with new ideas. Stuart is a skilled retoucher as well. He can definitely take a strong image and refine it to perfection or even create wild concepts with it. Of course, he always asks for my preferences and never does anything I'm not happy with. Highly recommend. Would love to work with again.

Had a great shoot with Stuart this week, he was professional and relaxed at the same time (we had some good music going!) He was great at directing the shoot and suggesting new poses to try out and all the edits came in within 2 days despite how many there were! The images are brilliant and I would not hesitate recommending him!

I had my first shoot with Stuart on Wednesday and it was wicked.

Everything leading up to the shoot regarding communication of ideas/outfits/timings etc were excellent. He was very open to my outfit suggestions and he brought some wonderful ideas to the table which I was happy to work with him on.

On the day he was extremely relaxed and chatty but very professional. He has a talent for directing small gestures and movements to really get the shots that work, which really pushed me out of my usual habits!

He’s since been sending over edits really quickly and has done a wonderful job! I certainly hope to work with him again soon!

Had my first shoot with Stuart at his home studio and a great shot it was.

Stuart had a clear idea of what he wanted from this shoot, his pre coms were great and was able to send examples of what kinda looks he wanted to achieve which made it easier for me to get outfits prepared.

During the shoot Stuart gave me great directions on how best to achieve more from my curves. Stuart is very polite, friendly and a great host.

We were shoot for a good few hours although it didn’t feel like it as it was a nice relaxed and fun shoot.

The cats were also very friendly and welcoming even got some cuddles in which was great.

Stuart got to work on the images straight away and have already had a few sent through which I love and I’m excited for the others.

I would recommend shooting with Stuart if you get the chance.

I applied to Stuart’s casting, pre comms we’re great, I arrived at his lovely home studio, he was very nice and bubbly. He gave me some really useful advice and direction, and we made some amazing pictures. I was having a hard time with my head and he was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Stuart!

Had a fantastic first shoot with Stuart. Pre comms were great and he was really easy to work with. The shoot was well planned but still allowed room to be creative and try new things. Really pleased with the images we got from the back of the camera.

He is a lovely guy and i would highly recommend him! Bonus points for the two adorable cats I got to cuddle! :D

Was really nice shooting with Stuart.

He was really friendly throughout, made me feel comfortable through the shoot, gave easy to understand guides so that we could get good shots and also gave me helpful tips.

Would definitely work together again

I had a great shooting with Stuart in his very professional studio.

He is a great photographer and he was very friendly during the shoot, it was fun to work with him and he keep in respect what the models want.

As he is very passionated about his job, he started to Edit the photos one day after the shoot and I received all of the images within 3 days.

Always love to work with such a professional photographer like him and I highly recommend him to everyone.

I hope we can work together again soon on your upcoming project. 🙂

This was my second shoot with Stuart, and it was great!

We decided on doing a shoot neither of us had done before but had been wanting to do, combining flour and dance. It was messy but very fun.

He done a lot of research and everything was fully thought out and prepared for when I arrived.

Stuart was great at suggestions, directions and making me feel relaxed in his home studio.

Thanks again for a great shoot!

Had my first shoot with Stuart, and all I can say is WOW!

Pre comms were awesome, Stuart sent me multiple mood boards to choose ideas from, and together we picked three main ideas to focus our shoot on. On the day, our planned three hour shoot quickly turned into six hours, which only ended when it did because I had to get the train! The ideas just FLOWED! And not at any point did it feel like it dragged. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire shoot, and I am in awe at the images we managed to create. The edits that I have seen so far are amazing. Also as a bonus - if you are a cat person, you will love shooting at Stuarts - his cats are adorable!

I would HIGHLY recommend Stuart, and I hope that we get to shoot together again some time!

Thanks for a fun day!
