Had a brilliant shoot once again with Steve, this time in Sheffield City Centre.

Despite potentially having to cancel due to some awful weather, Steve managed some great shots. His professionalism and enthusiasm is second to none and I'm excited for our next shoot in the studio this time!

Thanks for a another great shoot Steve!

Had another fantastic shoot with Steve over the previous weekend. We scouted an epic location and Steve made light work of capturing the theme for the shoot, delivering some beautiful images.

He arrived early and was a perfect gentleman as always. Would once again highly recommend Steve to anyone wanting fantastic images and professional attitude. Thank you Steve!

I shot with Steve over the weekend and I really enjoyed the shoot! He was complete gentleman and really took the time to listen to my ideas and work these into his own concepts.

He arrived early and had brought plenty of inspiring images for us discuss. His communication was excellent from start to finish. We have another shoot booked in soon and I'm very much looking forward to working with Steve again.

The images were great and I am excited to create more. I would definitely recommend Steve as he is fantastic to work with in all aspects.

It was amazing working with Steve. I was wearing the hijab during the shoot and Steve was very respectful and made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. Created some beautiful shots. Would highly recommend working with Steve and I hope I do work with him again in the future!

I’ve completed 5 shoots now with Trainman and I’ve absolutely enjoyed every single one of them! Communication is always clear and he is full of spectacular ideas. There is never a full moment whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism.

There will be plenty more shoots and ideas for us coming up and i cannot wait to see the amazing images we achieve each time!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve this evening in York we had arranged in advance.

Steve showed up on time and the communication was great from the start. Steve was very clear on what he wanted to achieve from the shoot. He was well prepared with a written out plan, locations and print outs of photos for inspiration. He even brought some outfits to match the theme he had in mind which were great. This made the shoot fun very smoothly for me as I knew what I was working towards.

The shoot was fun, relaxed and a great experience for both parties. I really enjoyed working with Steve. He was great company along with maintaining a high level of professionalism.

I would recommend Steve and I hope to work with him again.

Worked with Steve for the first time last week at a photography workshop organised by Mike Lester. He was on time, very friendly and organised and has a good eye for detail. He sent a good selection of edits through very quickly. Would recommend working with Steve to any other models, experienced or not.

First fashion photoshoot with Steve in the city on the weekend and I had a great time. Steve is very polite and has a good direction when it comes to getting the perfect image. I highly recommend him and I am excited to work with him again in the future.

A great photoshoot with Trainman! It was a studio group shoot themed Ice Queen. Trainman was as usual very professional, very friendly, easy to work with and full of ideas. It was a great fun and we have amazing photos from this session. I cannot recommend him enough!

Had my first shoot with Steve yesterday, he was kind enough to drive to my house for a home shoot, Steve arrived with ideas and photo examples and brought a good selection of gear(better to bring everything than too little) I loved the idea steve was going for it was different for me and it was nice to try something out of the norm, he was friendly and chatty and had humour which isn’t as common as some people might think. Overall a lovely experience for a first shoot and wouldn’t hesitate to work with again 😊

Had another wonderful shoot with Steve, pre coms are always great and ideas seem to flow.

Steve is a lovely guy and produces great images time and time again.

Would recommend- look forward to working with him again soon.

Trainman is a professional photographer and very pleasant to work with.

Not only he took great photos, but he made me feel at ease and gave me some valuable advice, as this was my first photo shoot ever.

He is a creative, enthusiastic, funny gentleman and I'd recommend working with him to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve on Sunday and can corroborate everything that others have said about him on here. He is completely charming, professional, accurate in his direction, and creative in his outlook. He took a genuine interest in me and my ideas, and offered up a lot of his own too. I quickly got the sense of a photographer who took his discipline seriously but never lost sight of the things that make it fun. We have already begun to develop plans for our next project.

Steve is absolutely wonderful. He was a member at a group shoot organised by Simon Price. Steve was polite and humorous and he even brought his lovely wife along too. I can't wait to see the images we took and hope we get to work together again soon! Highly recommend :)

Fantastic shoot today and Steve did not disappoint. He is a very warm yet creative and interesting person with lots of really quirky ideas, and I felt immediately at ease in his company.

Despite the atrocious weather we did what we were able to, and got some fantastic shots! I hope to work together again very soon and cannot recommend him enough to any new or experienced model! Great day cya again soon.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve again on a video tour of the York Cat Trail. Steve is a delight to work with as he has so many ideas and it really is brilliant to learn from his guidance. The finished product was fantastic and it was great to take part in as I had so much fun doing it. I look forward to our future shoots and working with you again

I recently worked with Steve at a group studio shoot.

Steve was friendly and professional throughout and I was made to feel very welcome.

I would 100% recommend Steve as a photographer :) Thank you!

Ellie Cunningham

A big thank you to Steve for photographing me at yesterdays group shoot. I had so much fun, and was made to feel really welcome and comfortable. I look forward to hopefully shooting again in the future!

I have worked with Trainman on many occasions in the last two years and, I have to admit, I should have posted more references! Whoever had a chance to work with him, can tell that photography is his passion- he loves the creative side of it, the brainstorming, creating mood boards, searching for location, excitement of planning and preparing something special. It gives a model sense of security as we know what we are doing, where, plus gives space to unleash her creative side and add a personal touch to the theme- he is so open minded, he's happily allow ideas flow and evolve. Always positive, relaxed and respectful. Always comes prepared, with interesting props or outfits to use, or gifts. I always appreciate seeing the unedited photos from which I learn a lot! Apart from edits, he creates composites, prints some photos out, created books and calendars, which are just amazing gifts! Trainman always pays for shoots, participate in any additional costs and helps models out when they need a lift. He will find amazing locations, hidden gems and make shoots even more special. I can go on and on. Amazing person. Talented photographer. I cannot recommend him enough! 100 % yes

I had a lovely shoot with Trainman at his local studio in York the other week while I was over up north for a few days :) I found him to be very professional, all communications before hand were very clear and he had a lot of ideas he was trying to achieve with a very nice mood board! I had a great time and felt very comfortable posing for him.

Would love to shoot together again and 100% recommend him to other models!
