Ahhhh yay!

Me and Stuart have shot a few times before, once at a studio, we've shot at my home and this time we went to Stewarts to shoot. He was kind enough to pick me up instead of me having to get public transport (and Id much rather be whizzed about in his new cool shiny car than sat on a busy train floor :P). His pre comms are always spot on, quick and detailed responses and hes always on time! I give massive props to Stewart as there's been a few shoots that havent gone to plan due to other issues, and hes always more than understanding, puts the model first and is patient and thoughtful.

We arrived at his and he popped the kettle on and offered me a cuppa (the way to my heart!) as I unloaded my suitcase in the bedroom he let me use to get changed/lay out items. We had a good natter whilst I looked through some photography books he has, which was great for inspiration for the upcoming events! It's clear that Stuart has a passion for creativity and art, hes talented in many different mediums and it's an absolute pleasure when I get to be a part of the process. He made sure I was comfortable and warm at all points, even heating up the water for the water and oil shots (thats a rarity!!!).

We shot a good few sets at the start with one ring light and a backdrop set up behind me (he makes real good use of his space!). He usually lets the model decide what outfit/accessories they want to wear (if not pre determined) and he just does the snapping! It flows so easily, hes happy to give directions when he sees a pose he likes so we can get a couple variations of it - which makes my job 10x easier to achieve the images he wants. He also is happy to review the images on the back of camera together at request or after each set and this also is a huge help for me as a model and working as a collaboration. We then shot in the bedroom on a black sheet to do some oil and candle wax bodyscape-esque type shots, again, he made sure I was comfortable during the entire shoot including when we began with the candle wax and even had a towel ready for me to clean myself off with and offered me a shower - what a lovely bloke!

Even though we didn't 100% stick to our shoot plan, we were really happy with the shots we got, happy to have a good old chat and laugh again and it just means we can add what we didn't do last time to our neverending list of shoot ideas haha!

Thanks so much Stewart, photographers like you make my job an absolute dream!

Highly recommended,

I met with Visuals after we spoke a various of times and had such a wonderful shoot. I loved hid work and had many ideas which were similar to his. We focused on boudoir, oil, mirrors and shadows. I am delighted with the results. We worked well together, collaborating ideas. I look forward to working with Visuals again soon.

Had an awesome time shooting with Stuart at F8 studio for my art erotica workshop.

Stuart has a great eye for creativity and I love that we exchanged ideas and tried different lifhting techniques to get some amazing images.

I love his work and he’s a lovely man with good manners and great conversation while shooting.

Highly recommend if you get the chance to work with roger you won’t regret it :)

Had yet another amazing shoot with Stewart! This time he hosted at his place. I felt welcome from the second I arrived and he made sure his home was nice and warm ready for me. We started with a cuppa and a chat and got to it! One of, if not the nicest photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is fun, respectful and a great photographer! Highly recommended

Yet another great shoot with Stewart! He wanted to do a little story telling kind of shoot and I was happy to help! Had a laugh from startto finish and got some great results back already! Highly recommended x

Woohoo it finally happened - and was well worth the wait 😁.

I got the chance to shoot with Stewart a few months back on a studio day, we got some corkers from that lil session so we decided to get together and do some 1-1 shooting and see what we could create.

I have to give it to Stewart that he is one the most understanding and genuinely nice photographers I've had the pleasure to be in contact with and create art with.

Our styles fit wonderfully, we both like a bit of dark and have the same ideas of what erotica is and how its best portrayed. We're both a fan of props and adding things into a picture to add character and level it up a bit.. so my maximalist room didnt bother him at all!

His communication is absolutely spot on, you're never left waiting for a reply and his replies are detailed and clear with a sprinkle of his great personality in there too.

He was really respectful of my home when I invited him in, and although he had some parking issues and I had some terrible news shortly before our shoot - he still managed to make me have a good giggle whilst shooting and getting into the zone is easy with someone who clearly has a passion for photography.

We spoke ideas before we began shooting and we used the space to the best of our ability, using the wooden floor, the sofa with natural light and my bed.. I really enjoy the process of shooting with Stewart, we have ideas in mind but nothing set in stone and let it flow on the day and see what we get.

I'm extremely thankful for Stewarts patience and kindness.. and to top it off he's a absolutely fab photographer aswell!

What a winner!

Thanks, highly recommended.

Katy.

Stewart and I finally shot today after having to postpone the original date and it was a great shoot from start to finish. It was very fun, relaxed & laid back. He cane down to me to shoot from my home and we did some boudoir and got some really good results from what I saw boc! Highly recommended x

Ah what a wonderful person Stewart is! We shot yesterday and to be completely honest he is one of the best people I've ever worked with.

Stewart had no rush to start shooting, we took some time to get to know each other and then started with some portraits with natural light. Moving thought the house and undressing more and more we did my favorite set at the end with the shower and then the ropes.

Stewart is extremely patient and a delightful and very intelligent person. Absolutely charming and sure of himself, I do hope to shoot many more times with him as I do feel we have that chemistry that a photographer and a model need to develop more work over several times.

1000% RECOMMENDED!!!

Only a few months after messaging, Stewart travelled down to my place for a shoot and it was an absolute blast! We had a number of potential ideas but were able to run with things on the day.

The shoot went from simple portraits, to playing around with poses and then some shibari - which I felt completely comfortable with. And to finish off, he was more than happy to play around with the makings of a blood bath idea that I was eager to do. It was some of the most fun I've had on a shoot, totally worth the clean up afterwards!

Stewart was easy to talk too, professional and courteous, and happy to end up on the floor just to get the right angle for the shot. I also didn't feel judged for being rather hyper active that day.

I can highly recommend shooting him, especially with any wacky ideas and shibari, so thank you!

I had a group shoot arranged at studio f8 and as soon as I knew Stewart was booked on I knew we'd get some brilliant images that day.

He was very warm and welcoming, very easy to talk to and a pleasure to be around. He arrived on time and nothing but respectful to me and the studio.

He was happy to give direction, and im always more than happy to listen and take it on board to give him the images he's after. Each set didn't take long to get the images, he told me during if he liked a pose\expression I had which is really helpful communication so I can make sure we're on the same page and I can tailor my sets to his taste a bit better.

It was a really enjoyable day and im glad Stewart attended, he was happy to show me the images after each set and as soon as I saw the back of the camera shots I knew we'd have some corkers!

He's already uploaded some images from this event and his talent is crystal clear, I hope to work with you again soon and see what else we can create.

Highly recommended,

thanks,

KatyB

Had a fabulous shoot with Stu at the Monochrome Drama workshop at F/8 studio, he attended for the full four hours - such a brilliant eye for capturing beautiful shots, great at directing, very calm, friendly, and always an absolute joy to work with.

Will recommend to all models and creatives!

Thanks again!

I shot with Stewart yesterday at F8 Studio.

It was our first time shooting together and most definitely not our last!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Stewart. He gave good, clear direction when it was needed. He also brought along two books for reference to help spark yo some creativity for poses.

Stewart is a very friendly and professional photographer which I highly recommend!

I look forward to shooting with you again!

Best wishes

Another half day shoot with sterwart yesterday. He is great at picking up locations . The old boats are quite interesting . The weather also very cool . We got a fantastic outdoor shoot . I hope can work with Sterwart with another idea in the future! He is east talking and also a great photographer!

Kitty Quinzell

I really love working with Stewart and even though this was a shoot within 2 weeks of the last, we had plenty of ideas, got creative and produced what I know will be some absolute killer images!

I will happily work with Stewart any time because he is a star :)

Another fantastic photo shoot with Stewart! This time we explored different lighting for portraits, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” theme, and a selection of art nude in nature and in rustic/neoclassic settings. Similar to my previous experience with him, he had a clear vision and helpful plans while leaving space for exploration, a delightful surprise, and my contribution. His endeavor to explore the potential of photographic art is much admired and it is my honor to co-create the beauty he saw.

This was my second shoot with the lovely Stewart at his charismatic, wonderful home. It's hard not to inspired with all the wonderful books and art.

This time the focus was on rope ties - the time was unrushed yet productive and I really loved the images I saw on the back of the camera.

Stewart has such a calming aura about him and is great company, looking forward to our next shoot, next month!

Well where to start....what an absolute gem Stewart is !

We hit it off from the start when I commented on his super cool round glasses 🤓

We shot at my house.

It was a lovely relaxed shoot. We didn't really know where we wanted to go with it so we just rolled with it and did lots of different looks and backgrounds :)

Stewart was very easy to get on with and I was intrigued to learn about some of his background and what he's got up to over the years.

We also bonded over our love of cars and bumble bees 🐝

What a fabulous photographer he is !

And if you ever get the chance to work with Stewart you'd be absolutely bonkers to pass it up !

Hope to work with him again in future.

Evski xoxo

I had my first shoot with Stewart in his tastefully arranged apartment located in the Cotswolds. The interesting features, objects, and decorations make it easy to come up with creative ideas. Our theme was inspired by Wong Kar Wai’s cinemograph style, which was clearly communicated to me using mood board prior to the shoot. Stewart is technically competent with the eyes of an artist discovering unexpected beauty in his composition. He also provided a good balance between direction and space for cooperation.

It was a wonderful encounter with this “Renaissance man” and I look forward to exploring more with him the light, shadows, shapes, patterns, and abstractions in the art of photography.
