I recently worked with Steve on my 1st Man shoot. He had a friendly and professional manner and was fun to work with.

Steve was brilliant and understood the look I was going for. His communication with the team was great. We worked to a structure so everyone knew what was going on.

The pictures are amazing! And I would love to work with Steve again.

Worked with Steve for the first time on Sat 18th and he was fantastic. First class photographer, brilliant with lighting, framing and communicating with the model. He put everyone at ease and was really easy to get on with. I can't wait to see the final images, because what he showed us on his camera already looked amazing. I would love to work with Steve again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top photographer.

Sunday October 2nd saw me working for the third time this summer with Deb and Steve, and once again they brought an array of range of photographers and models together - this time for a 'Film Noir' shoot at SS Creative's fabulous Telsen Building at Aston in Birmingham - and ran the day in such a way as to make the experience hugely rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable.

Steve is the most patient of men - knowing what he wants, knowing how to communicate that to models and other photographers, having the vision of making great pictures and doing so by perfectly lighting, framing and capturing what's in his mind's eye.

I'd love to work with Steve again as ASAP and urge others thinking of doing so to seize any opportunity that comes your way.Thanks again Steve.

I've worked with Steve a few times now and it's always a fantastic experience. Most recently I modelled for Tiptop Studio's 'Peaky Blinders' themed Photographer Workshop.

As always Steve was friendly and welcoming, and made me feel right at home. He's always a complete professional and his images are amazing (in this case exactly like stills from the actual show)!

Tiptop's workshops are always incredibly well run and the photographers come away with fantastic images every time, largely as the result of the thought and effort that goes into the planning and execution of the workshops, and also Steve's hand on advice to those who seek it.

Highly recommended to everyone, as always! Thanks so much for hiring me Steve, and I really can't wait to work with you again :)

I have worked with Steve a few times now and I really look forward to working with him everytime!! This talented photographer is a joy to work with, and we have a really laugh when shooting.

His knowledge is extensive looking at lighting styles, model posing to cropping and shooting angels and concepts. The photos speak for themselves and we have even had offered of publication!!!

We have a great laugh, he is easy to get on with, very considerate of the model and knows how to get the best from you. I reall can't wait to shoot with him again soon!!

An easy recommendation from me x

Steve ran a workshop I was modelling on at TipTop studios, and the whole event ran incredibly well!

He made sure everybody got a variety or sets and looks throughout the day and set up some lovely lighting for them all too :)

He grabbed a couple of shots of each set himself right at the end and the results are amazing, especially considering it was such a quick couple of shots!! I've already used 2 on my profile as I really love them :D

Great guy to work for and with and look forward to working with him again in November :)

I've known Steve for about three years now - in that time I have attended a workshop run by him, watched him shoot, benefited from his training and most recently listened to a training talk to my local camera club. I can honestly say that I have picked up something new on each of those occasions - even just watching him shoot. Combine this with the fact that he is a genuinely nice chap who is enthusiastic about his photography, and you have a winning combination.

In short - if you are a model wanting a portfolio refresh, a photographer needing a trainer, or anyone wanting a top photographer then you would struggle to find better. Highly recommended.

My second time working with Steve on Saturday on a model day that was organised for me at Tip Top Studio.

Again Steve was very well organised, created some fab sets and was good fun to work with.

Thanks again for another awesome model day

I have worked with Steve multiple times now in tiptop photography studios. He is brilliant with pre-comes and giving s clear brief, full of creativity. Steve and Deb are very welcoming into to studio with amazing facilities on hand.

Steve is very friendly and makes you feel at ease. He takes amazing images all within the space of about half an hour! He is very specific and always provides amazing results! Definitely recommend and highly recommend the studio. Can't wait to work together on future projects.

Oh my days, how has it taken me this long to organise a shoot with Steve?!?!?! He booked an amazing MUA for our shoot and we tried a variety of different looks and sets, breezing through them but making sure we got THE shot! We worked at TipTop Studio (need to book a studio day there for my next model tour in birmingham)! and facilities are excellent. Steve was a wonderful host, skilled photographer and good fun to work with. Hopefully submitting images to a magazine and cannot wait to go back! :D

Thanks so much for inviting me!

More than highly recommended!!

Steve and Deb booked me for the first time last weekend for a vintage shoot at the Black Country Museum. Their organisation of the workshop was excellent and it was a very enjoyable and productive day for everyone involved. Steve is a very talented photographer, and I'm in love with the images he's shared with me. Both his manner and experience make him an excellent teacher and it's clear to me, after seeing him in action on Sunday, why all of his regular workshop attendees are brilliant photographers! I'd recommend Steve 100% and I look forward to working with him again :) Thanks Steve x

I worked with Steve on Saturday and helped run my model work shop at The Gem in Birmingham. Steve is a lovely, friendly guy, was very welcoming and fantastic at explaining how the work shop was going to run.

Steve has a fab sense of humour, was very organised and really knows his stuff when comes to photography, The pics that he took from the day look awesome.

I would love to work with Steve again,

Highly Recommended by me, Thanks again Steve for putting on such a fantastic model day at such a brill location.

Steve is AWESOME! I spent two days at the tip top studio and was able to work with Steve on each set. Steve is highly professional, good fun and knows his lighting. It was great as the lighting set-ups were very creative and I could tell how passionate Steve is about his photography. I'm absolutely loving the shots so far and I'm already looking forward to returning to Tip Top. Thanks so much for making it such a great two days, good team work :)
