Where do i start…

Steve is one of the kindest and welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! I shot at his home studio which has a great selection of backdrops and lighting. Upon arrival, Steve went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed and that I was comfortable. He is so easy to get on with and I easily could have shot with him for the rest of the day!

Steve is a true professional and knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot which was amazing. He gave clear instructions and showed me the images in between sets.

I am already in a hurry to get our next shoot booked in and we have some great ideas… bring on the warmer weather!

I would recommend working with Steve in a heartbeat, you will not be disappointed and you’ll leave with some really fantastic images! Thank you for a fantastic day shooting 😊

A little behind with my references and also about time I gave Steve another reference!

You couldn't ask for a more lovely and genuine guy than Steve, he is really friendly and makes everyone feel at ease right from the minute he walks through the door. Every model that he works with at my studio always says what a lovely chap he is and I agree whole heartedly.

He is also a very good photographer and I love seeing the images he creates at the studio.

I would 100% recommend Steve to any model or studio and look forward to seeing him back at some point.

I had an absolute delight shooting with Steve at my studio day at Inspire recently. He is such a genuine and lovely person making me feel at ease from the moment I met him.

During our shoot, he consistently asked me if I needed anything or if I was comfortable which I really appreciate. We shot a wide range of outfits for fashion and portraits making the most of the time we had together! He is a very respectful and polite photographer as well as being great company to be around - I could have talked to him for ages if we weren't there to shoot!

The results I have seen so far are fantastic and I would definitely shoot with him again in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose. A wonderful photographer and a wonderful man. Highly recommend from me!!! :D

Steve contacted me to arrange a studio day at fareham studio, this ended up being over two days rather than one which was great for me. Steve’s communication up until the day was amazing, he always checked in to give me more info or to make sure I was ok and if I had any questions. It was my first studio day so I didn’t know what to expect, when I met Steve I immediately felt comfortable, he is such a lovely guy and we got on soo well. We had a nice chat before we began shooting and was always respectful of personal space and checking in with me throughout to make sure I was comfortable. I had such a fun shoot with Steve, time flew by and we got soo many amazing images which I absolutely love!! He was a real pleasure to work with, amazingly talented guy and would love to work with him again!

After working with Steve many times on group shoots/events I've hosted at Fareham Studio, it was lovely to work with him on a 1-to-1 basis at the end of last year. Steve left every aspect of the shoot to me - styling, poses, lighting - but still managed to imprint his creativity on the images with his excellent use of composition, style and sensitive retouching. The half day absolutely flew by with lots of friendly chatter between sets. Steve has been kind enough to send me loads of beautiful edits and I look forward to sharing some of them online. I'd be delighted to work with Steve again and would happily recommend him to others.

Steve is one of my favourite people to work with, that should say it all. On top of our countless FPIs, we have such a great laugh when we're shooting, he's one of the good en's.

1000000% recommended ♥

My second shoot with Steve and I was looking forward to it since he booked it! We had a half day this time and it flew by. We got some cracking shots together ( Steve has taken one of my favourite shots of me so far!) and have a laugh whilst doing so. He's always open to hear my ideas as well as expressing his own which was great!

Absolutely love working with Steve, always a pleasure- my only fault is time goes to quick!

Couldn't recommend highly enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve, after we had been in contact for some time trying to sort suitable availability.

Steve is a fantastic photographer with timeless style and vision.

He has the most gorgeous home studio, and is a great host offering refreshments throughout.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve, who is a true gent, great company and delightful to work with.

The results look fantastic, and ones that I am really happy with.

Would highly recommend working with Steve.

Thanks for having me (and sorry for the delay in a reference)

I worked with Steve for the first time this Thursday! We had such a lovely shoot! I have a lot to thank Steve for as he gave me the confidence in going ahead and booking studios day at Inspire studios by letting me know his interested and the interest others had in working with me!

Steve is fabulous to work with,his pre communication were great and very clear which helped me prepare.

Steve was very relaxed throughout the shoot and had a good energy whilst also being enthusiastic about getting great shots which from back of the camera I believe we did!

Steve was such a welcoming and joyful person! It was a pleasure to work with him,it is clear he is very supportive of the models he shoots and the other creatives around him which was really lovely!

I am so excited to see Steve’s images as he has so many beautiful shots! I definitely recommend working with him and I look forward to the next time!

Wow!

You know when you meet a fellow creative and just hit it off straight away?!

Well that’s what I was blessed with from the moment I met Steve!

A wonderful human being indeed, fantastic photographer and an infectious sense of humour that had me having to tell him to stop being so funny or the mood of the photos will be incredibly different to what we’re going for! It was a hilariously fun experience meeting and shooting with Steve.

He came to me with ideas, which I LOVED! Even used my own portfolio as a reference of the type of mood he wanted to execute, and with clear communication like this combined with his undoubted talents, we managed to create TONS of beautiful imagery! I can’t help but be happy and smile when I look at the shots and it truly is a wonderful memory too.

Steve booked me for 3 hours 1-1 after booking on to a group shoot to follow later in the day, and showed me that he can achieve both wonderfully dreamy natural light shots and punky, hard contrasted shots too.

I can’t recommend him enough, without a doubt a person to be working with in a heartbeat, and a really fantastic human! Not to be missed!

Steve was my first slot, on my first day of three studio days over at Inspire studio and it couldn't of been a better start!! We got some absolutely stunning images which speak for themselves really. I'm blown away by what we created.

We really got along well, we had a great shoot together and I really hope to do it all again sometime- hopefully soon!!

100% recommended from me!!!

I had my first and hopefully not the last shoot with Steve today! He comes across as so friendly, kind and lovely from the get-go. Pre-comms before the shoot were super clear and direct which is always helpful!

Steve has a lovely home-based studio which was warm and very versatile too! We completed all the sets planned with ease and got to try out some different things too. I felt comfortable and at ease straight away and during the whole shoot too, with lots of reassurance from Steve to make sure I was happy throughout. I got to see all of the photos on Steve's laptop at the end which showed how amazing they were and these were only the RAW files!

Thank you again Steve😊

Steve joined us at Fareham studios for our French-themed group shoot back at the start of February.

He was a joy to work with, super chatty, a great part of the group, and had great communication throughout the shoot.

I would be happy to recommend Steve to any model or studio.

I look forward to our next shoot.

Much love,

Eve

Steve was such a lovely photographer to shoot with. He had contacted me beforehand to suggest some options for shots and outfits which I always like as it’s great to go into a shoot knowing what is expected from both sides. He is very kind and really takes care to make sure the model is happy on set with the ideas, and with the photos afterwards. I would definitely recommend him to work with and would happily work with him again in future!

I worked with Steve recently for 2 hours during my weekend at Fareham Studio. I found him warm, friendly, inquisitive, and full of energy. He sent an email in advance introducing himself and outlining the ideas and styles he wanted to focus on which was helpful in knowing what to pack and making the most of the time we had to shoot, without feeling rushed.

We covered a great range of images both in natural light and in the studio set-up. I liked that Steve put the images on his laptop in between sets to view the quality of the images. The results are brilliant and I'd be very happy to work with Steve again :-)

Absolute delight to work with. Steve and I worked together at Fareham Studio as part of my studio day, and I had a great time with him. He's an enthusiastic and talented photographer, and I love the final edits - very welcome addition to my portfolio! Friendly, funny super professional, just an all-round lovely person. Hope to work with him again soon!

What a delightful person I had the pleasure to work with ☺️

Pre-comms could not have been better, then I was met with his lovely home studio and great hospitality. He keeps it professional, yet made me feel comfortable, consistently making sure that I had eaten, drank, needed anything, asking how I felt regarding any of the ideas etc. Steve also doesn’t realise how gifted he is not only in photography but all aspects of life, he is perhaps one of the most kindest and genuine people I have worked with. I genuinely feel lucky to have worked with him, because not only was he a pleasure to work with but we have also created some beautiful shots.

I recommend, you will not regret it. Thank you so much, hope to work with you again 😁

Had a fantastic time shooting with Steve at a group shoot organised by Fareham studio. I get quite nervous about group shoots as you just don't know who you'll be working with, but Steve laid every fear I had to rest. He was friendly, funny, professional, and overall just a dream to work with, making the time fly by like nothing. I highly recommend you take any chance you get to work with him. Thank you again for a brilliant shoot :)
