Had a great shoot with Stuart! We got in touch by me replying to a casting call. We went to a location which is quite close to me but Stuart even offered to pick me up and from the beginning he was very chatty, professional and very enthusiastic.

The whole day was so much fun! We started off with Stuart teaching me how to paddle board and exploring a little island in the middle of a loch finding the best places to shoot. Once we started shouting the images just flowed and time passed so quickly using both of our ideas. He even brought a BBQ so we wouldn’t get hungry!

In all I had a fantastic day and would recommend Stuart to anyone who loves adventure and creating beautiful creative images! Can’t wait to shoot again!

I had an outdoor shoot with Stuart today and it was fantastic. He picked me up from the train and we went to a remote loch, where we paddle-boarded out to a tiny island which meant we could get nude shots in incredible scenery with no-one to see us. The whole day was so much fun- Stuart is friendly, respectful and I quickly felt at ease in his company. He checked in on me several times to make sure I was ok with the paddleboarding, and wasn't getting cold etc. Stuart is filled with creative ideas and was sometimes very specific with what he wanted, which was great, and at the same time willing to try out all of my ideas. I was posed on the rocks, up a tree (my idea), and some were taken by Stuart while on the paddleboard which was a challenge! He made suggestions but never pushed me to do something which I wasn't comfortable with. He definitely has a sense of humour- at times I was laughing so hard that I struggled to keep a straight face for the photos! Overall an amazing shoot, and I can't wait to see the photos I glimpsed on the camera on the computer screen! Would absolutely recommend to other models. Thanks Stuart for a great day, and I hope to shoot with you again.

Had such a good shoot with Stuart on Saturday. He is very professional but also chatty and fun to be around. He had loads of ideas and he is very enthusiastic about the outdoors and Photography. He really thinks about his images and lighting and the outcome is incredible. Would 100% recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future hopefully :)

I had a super last minute shoot with Stuart whilst staying in Glasgow for a few days. We arranged a shoot the previous day and didn't really have a chance to discuss ideas fully before hand. Even with this being the case Stuart had excellent communication prior to meeting, turned up with lots of equipment in the way of lighting and lenses and also turned up with a friendly, eager attitude!

I showed him a few ideas on a folder I have for inspiration and he went above and beyond to bring these ideas to life. Stuart has a keen eye for detail and considers everything from the angle of the pose to the background being perfect. He was even hanging out a window at one stage to get images from the best distance/angle... if that isn't dedication to the perfect shot then I don't know what is!

Stuart was great at following my ideas as well as suggesting great ideas of his own too. I would say this bubbly and friendly man is more than capable of helping along new models aswell as being great to work with for professionals too. Patient and hardworking through and through as well as being fun to work with.

It was a great collaboration and I look forward to seeing the images produced very much!

Would I recommend Stuart? YES, YES and YES. I had a shooting with him yesterday and I have no enough words to express how IMPRESSED I am. He made me feel comfortable from the first second. The shooting was funny, relaxing and productive. I have learned a lot of things from him, from the light to the posture, to the expression. Stuart pictured me like no one did before. He tokens 600 picture and chosen 100 amazing ones. It was extremely difficult for me to choose 10 from them. I can't wait to see the postproduction and put them in my portfolio. Thank you, Stuart. I can't wait to work with you in the future!

First shoot with Stuart on Wednesday. We had a last minute shoot in the Botanics making use of the gorgeous autumn colours that were beginning to appear. Had a great time walking around and trying out different areas and colours. He had a super cool magical lens that created some lovely shots :) Would highly recommend him to any creative. He is really easy to work with and pre communication was good :) Can't wait to see the finished images. Loved what I saw back of camera. Hopefully we will shoot again soon

I had the opportunity to work with Stuart on a recent bridal group shoot. An absolute joy to work with, full of ideas and poses and knows exactly what he wants from an image. A true professional, easy to work with, makes the model feel at ease, first class communication and works well with the model to gain the best possible images. I VERY highly recommend Stuart to everyone, a credit to the industry and a fantastic eye for photography. I look forward to working with him again and soon. Thanks again, Jen x

I got to work with Stuart for the first time a couple of months ago on a group wedding shoot. I enjoyed working with him and found him to be full of ideas and we worked well together. He knew what he wanted from the shot and how to relay that across to me so that we could create the shots in a relaxed manner. I would happily work with Stuart again in the future.

Had a great day at Kelvinbridge for a 'wedding' themed group shoot! I'm excited to see more of the pics as the shoot was fun. Stuart was easy to work with and good at directing models. Thanks, J

Stuart came along to a group wedding shoot with several other photographers, he was a pleasure to work with and had a lot of great ideas for shots. I would definitely recommend him and would work with him again :)
