Today I had my first shoot with Steve and hopefully not the last one!

Pre comms were great, I knew exactly what I need to prepare. Steve was very polite, full of ideas, fun and working with him was a pleasure - not going to lie the time flown by during our shoot!! Some pictures I've seen on the back of camera were outstanding!

Looking forward to working with him again on more projects!

What an absolute pleasure it was to work with Steve ! a very warm genuine creative person , so knowledgable about his craft , i truly learnt while i modelled !

Top class kit and an incredibly meticulous eye for lighting . The shoot was fresh relaxed and fun, time went too fast.

I loved my images, truly felt seen, and very beautiful.

If you’re approached to model for Steve or going on any of his training courses you will find a truly decent chap , and walk away feeling great :)

Worked alongside Steve today and wow what a shoot we had, his fun attitude and ability to create great lighting and set ups so quickly gave us the opportunity to shoot a number of different looks with the model. He was as always brilliant with the model as well as being able to direct them to get just the shot he's looking for. Looking forward to seeing him again soon.

Had a brilliant first shoot with Steve at Inspire Studio.

He had some really cool ideas, and knew what he wanted from every set. The whole image told a story, and he covered all bases from lighting and setup, to styling, which is what makes an image amazing.

He doesn't shoot for the sake of it - he takes a quality over quantity approach, and genuinely nailed an image in like, literally 5-6 shots. He wasn't afraid to think out of the box, and knows his way around lighting and kit, and this enabled him to produce some really creative and unique shots. Once I began to see the back of the camera, I knew I could pose with complete ease, knowing he would set things up for the most flattering result in any style.

As a person, he's chilled, down to earth, easy to chat to between sets, making for a positive relaxed atmosphere for our shoot.

Loved working with Steve today and hope to again soon!

Steve came to the studio to take some test shots with a dancer and from the minute he walked in it felt like you've know him for ages. He's a really lovely guy with a great sense of humour and a very professional manner when working a model. He's is very knowledgeable when it comes to lighting and he even brought some of his own equipment to use. I would absolutely recommend working with Steve if you are lucky enough to get the chance. Looking forward to seeing him back at the studio again soon.

I had the priveledge of working with Steve again today for a commercial shoot,

He was just as fab as last time, remained proffesional and we worked well as a team to get the job done to a brilliant standard!

Highly recommended by me as photographer for anyone looking to work with him!

Had the utmost pleasure and wonderful time having Steve in our studio! He is such a genuine down to earth person we couldn’t ever recommend him highly enough. Awesome sense of humour, a technical know how (we learnt a few tricks ourselves!) and just all round good time during his visit. Come back soon, we have cake!!

Gosh what can I say about this superb photographer that hasn't already been said? First shoot today with Steve & I have to say I was a little nervous but I needn't have been - he's such a warm, friendly, chatty, laid back person that I soon felt at ease. Pre-shoot comms were excellent & I knew exactly what I needed to bring & what the plan was.

I absolutely adored our time working together. He knows exactly what he wants from a shot & his direction is spot on - which, in my opinion, makes the difference between a good image & a 'wow' one. I loved his attention to detail & he is exceptionally skilled with lighting. Ideas flowed & we ran out of time (we'll have to shoot again, please!).

Steve is 100% professional & respectful & I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone very highly - whether they be new or experienced models.

The images straight from the camera are fabulous & I'm so excited to see the final ones.

Thank you so much Steve I'm still buzzing!! Can't wait until the next time, hope it's soon! :-)

First big make up shoot for me and couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

I highly recommend him to whoever is considering working with Mr Haddon!

I met Steve recently at a group photoshoot fundraiser. What a lovely professional friendly man (also helped me carry my bags,bonus!! lol)

Steve made effort to speak to and get shots of all the models that attended.

You can tell whilst working with him that he really knows what he wants to get from his shots and directs well. He shot and edited a really moody effective pic of me which I love!

Steve is a lovely guy who I would highly recommend and am already in talks of organising another shoot with. Thanks again Steve x

well what can I not say about Steve. he is a fantastic man who was great to work with and I cannot wait to work with again.

Steve is fabulous, we worked together recently on a shoot, it was a 7 hour shoot but the time flew by we had so much fun.

Steve was very professional he had exceptional skills with photography and the lighting and knowing exactly what i needed from my looks, he even managed to bring Bronco lighting with him on the shoot which was fab.

He has excellent pre-communication skills. We spoke on many occasions regarding the shoot. He was very attentive to what i wanted from the shoot and produced exactly that and more.

Steve goes way and beyond what most other photographer do, which is fantastic, he likes professionalism and organisation so the shoot runs smoothly. It truly does shine through how much he loves his photography, which shows in how brilliant his images are. He has excellent ideas and i really am looking forward to putting many more images together as a team.

I would highly recommend Steve to anyone who wants an exceptional photographer, who is fun, friendly and professional. If this is what your looking for, Steve is definitely your man.

Steve is definitely the most professional, knowledgable, personable and experienced Photographer I have ever worked with.

Through a hell of a lot of hard work, eccentric visions and countless hours of planning, Steve has produced exceptional images from the shoots we have worked on, and in his outstanding portfolio which never fails to impress!

I can guarantee when working with Steve you will have experienced one if not all of the following:

1. Having learned and new skill in either modelling, photography or lighting

2. Something new about the industry

3. A fun yet professional shoot

4. Steve is a genuinely great guy

I always look forward to working with Steve, and highly recommend collaboring with him

I was booked for a artnude workshop by Steve, which took place this week. Steve is a top bloke, great sense of humour, very helpful with the students on the workshop he was running. The workshop was well run, planned and executed, with a lot of various lighting setups.

Steve also made sure that i was comfortable at all times and has a very professional attitude towards running the day.

I look forward to working with him again soon.

Highly Recommended.

I modelled at an Advanced lighting workshop shoot hosted by Steve on Saturday.

I have to say i had a fantastic day and enjoyed every minute of Steve's company.

He is funny, professional and lovely and I really can't wait for us to work together again.

I'd recommend anybody to work with Steve. He's just great :)

Thanks for a brilliant day Steve. See you soon !

I had the pleasure of working with Steve on a dance photography workshop. Steve was well organised and ensured that I was given a brief well in advance. I was also given agenda ahead of the day. This was great as it allowed me to prepare and to choose the right kind and a sufficient number of outfits for the day. Steve had ensured a sufficient space for a dance shoot as well as ensured a hall with changing facilities and heating. He was great at giving directions and feedback, achieving images of excellence.

Steve was very professional, timely and friendly. He has a great sense of humour and is good at making the model feel comfortable, safe and well-looked after.

I was very impressed by the quality of the images I have received from the day and would recommend Steve to anyone any day, whether you are a photographer or model !

Studio Antics World

This is the place to be if you need to use any form of specialist lighting - Broncolour kit in abundance. Fabulous studio and building with some superb backdrops that you will not find anywhere else. Plenty of parking, help from Steve - a site to behold. Great props lying everywhere, cars, arches, stonework, a canal, portcullis - you really could treat yourself for a week here and still have places to shoot. A very interesting place to be.

I would live at this studio if I could!! Steve is the most awesome person, professional, funny, and passionate about his work and the studio. The studio is just... WOW!! It's on another level... Can't wait to come back 😊
