Hello, I'm Steven, thank you for stopping by my profile ⭐

 

I believe that Beauty is not about perfection; it's about celebrating authenticity. 

I'm a Semi-Pro photographer interested in boudoir and portrait photography, however I am open to broaden my skills with other types of photography just get in touch with any ideas or requests. I have been into photography for over 11 years and the last year I am wanting to push myself into the world of photography, I enjoy working with people to portray themselves into an image. I shoot Nikon and have a collection of professional lenses with off camera flashes.

I post process my images with very little enhancements, mainly just corrections as I believe what the eye captures is the real image and this is my underlying principle of expressing yourself through a lens.

This is not my full time job, I am a full time engineer within the armed forces and I am looking to expand my skills to further my photography career.  My growing portfolio, a vivid tableau of compelling images, testifies to this passion. When shooting, I always aim to create a haven of confidence, empowering individuals to revel in their sensuality. 

As a portraitist, I go beyond faces—I unearth the untold stories that lie within, creating timeless portraits that echo with depth and authenticity.  Whether you're a novice or a professional model, I bring my willingness to learn and adapt, I strive to go above and beyond to achieve the goal of producing images that show the inner beauty of the subject, empowering emotion from within. I am flexible, friendly and I am always open to listening to fresh and innovative ideas from my subjects and collaborators. 

Communication is Key

When working with my subjects, I always uphold the values of courtesy, patience, and respect, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment. The goal is to deliver a memorable experience for everyone involved, which includes fostering open communication before, during, and after shoots, providing immediate feedback, and encouraging a positive atmosphere.

Here's what I strive for:

📸 Offering a pleasurable and relaxed photography experience while respecting your Boundaries and comfort levels.

📸 Building solid and collaborative relationships with talented models, fellow photographers, and studios.

📸 Providing remarkable results for paid and TFP (Trade for Print) shoots.

📸 Maintaining transparency, encouraging you to review my references before we work together.

What am I like to work with?

I uphold a set of principles that guide all my interactions. I believe in honest and open communication, treating everyone fairly and respectfully and I never push boundaries! I encourage you to review my references prior to working with me, If you want a chaperone then that is also fine however they are not to be present or in the way of the actual shoot. I believe that collaboration is the cornerstone of success and in order to achieve the best images, it's crucial that my models and collaborators feel at ease and confident. Therefore, I work tirelessly to create a friendly environment, providing constructive feedback and ensuring clear communications at all time. This sounds so formal but in reality I am really chatty, and enjoy a good laugh, whilst creating a great atmosphere at my shoots. 

I prefer outdoor and location shoots to encompass the natural light and environment, however I am open to studio and indoor photography too.

Do you have a concept or an idea you're thrilled about?

Whether you're a newcomer or a professional model aiming to elevate your portfolio, I am open to hearing and helping actualize your ideas. So let's bring your vision to life! I am based in West Oxfordshire and willing to travel based on the project's specifics.
