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.

I met Stewart today as he attended my natural light workshop at F/8 studio.

Stewart is a friendly chap and a very talented photographer.

He took on board all my help and advice throughout the workshop and the images off the back of the camera were fantastic.

I highly recommend Stewart.

I met Stewart on a natural light workshop (run by urbanphotographer) at F/8 studio - we had communications years ago about potentially shooting, but it had never materialised, so it was lovely to finally meet and create!

Stewart was very calm, confident, had tons of cool ideas, a very artistic eye, and is excellent at direction where needed - really enjoyed working with him. Would HIGHLY recommend to all models and creatives.

Visual SA booked myself and Marmalade as part of our Helmut Newton workshops. He was lovely to work with, respectful and good at giving direction when needed. It was a very enjoyable and relaxed shoot working with Stewart and I would recommend him to any model 🙂

I really enjoyed my first shoot with Stewart.

He booked me for a 4 hour shoot in his lovely home.

Stewart was immediately welcoming, accommodating and a complete gentleman, I found him very easy to talk to and be around and our shoot was relaxed yet productive.

I really like the images that I saw from back of camera, he has a really cool and classic, yet modern style of photography.

I'm delighted to be part of such a wonderful portfolio.

I do hope we can do it again in the not too distant future.

I had a shoot with Stu during my Studio Day at F/8 Studio in Gloucester.

He kindly gave me a shoot brief and a list of potential clothes to bring along to the shoot.

He was kind, friendly, respectful, professional and eager to learn more about photography.

I think we got various amounts of sets done in the time we had and we went for an elegant/sensual theme mostly which is always stunning.

It was a pleasure to work with Stu and I hope I get the chance to again.

It was a pleasure to pose for Stewart again for our third shoot. This time at my home, the shoot was spread over two days, slowly and casually exploring daylight, artificial light and a set of shibari.

Stewart is highly professional, always respectful and just loves photography. Extremely reliable once a shoot is arranged, he is also the perfect guest. It was lovely to get to know him more and spend hours chatting between our sets.

A lovely man, very skilled photographer and as always very highly recommended. Thank you Stewart for a wonderful extended shoot with you.

Had a lovely time with Stu. He is very accommodating, a great host and he’s very laid back with a great eye for boudoir noir photography. I definitely recommend him!

Stewart is a cool guy with a creative mind, he is very friendly and overall nice to work with. He has lots of experience which definitely shows in his portfolio and working techniques. He already had some things in mind and was very open to input and ideas. He already made some nice edits of our shoot which is always good to see, I like the outcome.

I’m really happy we could work together on my tour to London, I would recommend working with him to any model.

Keep up the good work, and I would love to work together again in the future !

Fantastic photographer with a keen eye to detail and very creative ideas. Wonderful man.. Very easy to chat to and get along with. Incredible gentleman and fantastic host. Will work with stew again in a heartbeat!!

What can I say - I had a fabulous time shooting with this gentleman. We had arranged to shoot in London on location, and the hours really flew by. We shot a mixture of art nude, fitness, and a bit of rope at the end - a good blend of different ideas and some improvisation based around what we found at the venue.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent, and I really have no hesitation in recommending visualSA to any other model, he is easygoing and an interesting creative I hope to cross paths with again in the future.

I had a great shoot with Stewart this weekend at my home; his pre comms were great and he arrived on time

He was a joy to be around and definitely proffessional, made sure I was comfortable throughout despite the cold circumstances

I highly reccomend him and hope to work with him again!

It was really lovely for Stuart to contact me near the end of my journey to book our second shoot, making this one my last few.

I have always admired his editing skills and unique style, he certainly knows how to make black and white image his own. So to be able to show my face mixed with my erotic posing this time round and not be fully anonymous was refreshing.

I hope he can create some great edits with both those elements.

The light in my home was a challenge at times, but we both showed patience and towards the end it all came together. I think some great portraits were captured.

I look forward to getting the VisualSA treatment before my departure.

I had fantastic shoot with Stewart at my place today!:)

Stewart was lovely!. Very professional ,talented and organised photographer!

I would love to work with Stewart again !

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Stewart. His collection of images speaks for itself. He is also a gentleman.

Working with him was on my wish list for a while, simply because he has exquisite taste in models and erotic imagery, as well as his editing is sleek and refined. His amazing work with my colleague LE meant I could trust to shoot with him without meeting first. So we agreed on a 3 hour shoot one weekend.

We started in a hotel but the room was rather small so we drove to his friend's flat not far and this seemed to speak to me more. We had plenty of light, much more room to think, improvise angles and I even felt inspired to try the bondage rope he showed me in his goodie bag. I don't take it lightly to be tied up by any man let alone a photographer and felt comfortable enough to do it for the first time with Stewart. A nice first mild shibari experience. He was gentle, respectful and always caring for my well being.

I am looking forward to seeing more of our results, I know he has high standards so I hope he will find more gems. But he set the bar very high, maybe too high even for me..:)

Thank you for hiring me Stewart.

It was lovely working with Stewart again on my recent Europe tour. Kind, easygoing and fun to work and talk to, I love being part of his vision as always.

Bonus he kindly dropped me in time for my next shoot! I look forward seeing him again on another trip back to England!
