Thank you for a good photo shoot!

Stephen - a great photographer with interesting ideas.

Responsible and kind person.

Also, which is very important - attentive and respectful of the model.

It was easy and pleasant to work with him.

I think we got a lot of great photos.

Stephen, I will be glad to work with you again!)

Another shoot with this bubbly chap whilst I was on another little your of Glasgow.

Steve is such a professional chap and comes very well prepared with lighting and different lenses etc for different styles.

He had some film to use too which is refreshing to shoot with as it gives a limited amount of shots so it adds a little extra importance to get the shot right.

Steve had sent over a mood board of ideas and images before we seen eachother which we ran through over out few hours together.

Very easy chap to work with and is also a lot of fun to chat to whilst working. Steve creates a relaxed atmosphere which I hope created some good images.

Highly recommend Steve to modes of all abilities as he always seems to know what he is after so is very good with giving direction as well as being happy to allow models to add to the image and pose freely when not working to a desired image style. :)

Stephen and I had our first shoot together whilst I was on a little tour of Glasgow. He was the first photographer to shoot with me and I couldn't have asked for a better start to my weekend.

He is a great guy to be around, very fun, professional and has plenty of ideas whilst just letting me do my own posing and outfit changes also.

We came up with a few cracking ideas together and I cannot wait to ses the images he captured.

Very highly recommended. Until next time.. 😊

Stephen was really great to work with, excellent pre shoot communication and was really up for experimenting and trying out new things. Created some absolutely beautiful photos which I love. Would definitely recommend!

Stephen came to my home for the photoshoot after exellent communication prior to the shoot. He is a very calm photographer with a good eye for creative looks and lighting, I enjoyed the shoot and am very pleased with the images. Would definitely recommend!

Had first shoot with Stephen! He had a very specific idea and we worked on it for one hour. I am excited to see the end result on a larger screen! :)

He was very laid back

His ideas have great depth and meaning behind them

Absolutely amazing shoot, was so happy to be a part of the coffee project and what a fantastic time we had.

The location was well thought out and beautiful, with many other locations also appropriate for shooting.

Gave great direction as well as letting me do my own thing.

I was made to feel very comfortable from the moment I arrived, precomms were very good and I'd love to work with Stephen again.

Had another brilliant shoot with Stephen at the Gray Room in Glasgow last Sunday. As always his communication was excellent and I knew just what he wanted from the shoot. Definately recommend him to any creative and hopefully will shoot with him again soon :)

Stephen communicated well before the shoot and during the shoot was professional and friendly. The images he took were fantastic and the first lot came the same day as the shoot with the rest following the day after.

My first impression of Stephen was he was rather quiet and pensive compared to other very eccentric photographers I'd worked with in the past. However, his very calm, collected and friendly personality is perfect for making the model feel very at ease during the shoot. He has a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm for photography. For example, during our shoot he used an old school 'film' camera which I thought was very original and authentic! I really liked the photos and close up headshots produced from the day especially since Stephen knows a lot about lighting and its importance when it comes to capturing a fantastic image!

With pleasure I would work with Stephen again if an opportunity arose :)

Highly recommended!

Communications before the shoot were fantastic and I was given freedom to move and pose how I wanted. Very friendly and so easy to get along with which makes it so much easier to be at ease behind the camera. Would love to work with Stephen again and would most definitely recommend him!

I had a wonderful shoot with Stephen last month in my apartment.

I adore Stephen's portraits so was so glad he wanted to work with me - we spent a great couple of hours chasing light using a couple of film cameras and polaroid. Stephen knows how to use light - both in harnessing natural light to create beautiful natural portraits and in finding little pockets and stripes of light to create really dramatic effects.

Absolutely love the images I have seen so far, and would absolutely recommend Stephen!

Sissa

Stephen came to my home, I was a bit nervous but he was a kind and pleasant man who immediately put me at ease. We tried a few different locations and outfits around the house and garden, and Stephen was very patient with my giggling fits. We ended up getting a nice range of photos despite only spending one afternoon -- I was super pleased, and would happily work with him again!

Worked on a great shoot with Stephen and model Sissa Simone for some portraiture and super smokey makeup. I have worked with him a few times before as both model and makeup artist as I love his style. Highly recommended to all creatives :)

I had a tf shoot with Stephen the other week and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Stephen is really lovely and easy to get along with. Communication before the shoot is great, it's all very relaxed. I'd definitely recommend him!

Had a recent TF shoot with Stephen. Really enjoyed it, he was very professional and easy to work with. Stephen has great ideas and would highly recommend him to other models. I love the photos and i would definitely work with him again.

I have worked with Stephen on a number of shoots now. Stephen is reliable and very professional and I look forward to working on more shoots with Stephen.

Had a tf shoot with Stephen at the weekend and it was a pleasure! We had planned to do a little art nude and portraiture but an existing back issue flaired up for me so we instead did a couple hours of portraiture. Communication before hand was brilliant and Stephen was a complete gentleman about my not being able to do what we originally planned.

We shot at one of my friend's house in Edinburgh whom I was cat sitting for, in a spare bedroom. Stephen was able to work very well with our limited space and knew how to utilise the natural light despite it changing every few minutes due to the infamous Edinburgh winds!

I felt like the shoot was very relaxed and we got on well, even discussing ideas for more shoots in the future. I saw the shots on camera which looked amazing and I am looking forward to seeing them when finished.

I would definitely recommend this photographer to new and experienced models alike.

Had a tf shoot with Stephen at his home. Stephen was professional from start to finish and always replied to my queries before the shoot promptly.

Working around difficult circumstances (like the Scottish weather), Stephen was a quick problem solver and ultimately we managed to take many memorable shots. Stephen understands what it takes to take a good picture, and has the resources to do it. Further, I'd say he shines in his grasp of portraiture. The images were passed on to myself and the make-up artist very, very quickly. I can't recommend him enough.
