I had my first shoot with Steve today and it was fantastic. Steve is really friendly and chatty, and made me feel very much at ease during the shoot. The pre-shoot communication was very organised and I knew exactly what to bring with me. Steve is clearly a very well-experienced and talented photographer, and his directions during the shoot were clear and simple. Thanks so much for a great shoot Steve and I look forward to working with you again!

I had a lovely two hour shoot with Steve just today local to me. We shot on location for the whole time and I really enjoyed myself.

Steve was super friendly, relaxed and fun to work with. We focused on Autumn fashion around the "Secret Garden" I have access too and took loads of lovely casual fashion images.

Really hope I can work with Steve again one day- super lovely man! Thank you so much and hope to see you again soon :)

I had a terrific shoot with FocalPoint yesterday and can't recommend him enough!

Pre-shoot communications were superb and he made me feel at ease from the off. He has the mix of friendly and professional just perfect.

Our shoot was a wandering venture and the atmosphere was very relaxed as we found inspiration from the surroundings. Steve was great at giving direction and showed me images as we were shooting - something that is wonderfully helpful during a TFP!

I know we've got some fantastic images and I would thoroughly recommend working with him! (I hope to collaborate again soon!)

I had an amazing shoot with Steve today.

He is such a down to earth person. We talked all the way there and all the way home.

We knew exactly what we were looking to achieve today and I can't wait to see the results.

If you want unique pictures at stunning locations then book Steve. He does such a good job.

We are going to plan our next shoot soon!

Another successful shoot with Stephen! Communication flows easy and we quickly get through plans for a shoot.

Stephen is great at knowing the best spots to shoot and is always open to ideas friendly reliable and shoot time seems to disappear with so much to show for the time spent at work , never a dull moment sure to leave the shoot satisfied and full of new ideas for future shoots

Once again highly recommend!

Had the plwasure of working long side Steve, it being wired being Behind the camera instead of in front but both of us worked around our model well, not getting in each others ways and he gave some criticism on my images which helped improve.

Looking forward to future collaborations

Had my first shoot in over a year today with Stephen in a collaboration with Chloe, can't boast enough how at ease Stephen made me feel! I was so comfortable around him that i felt like I'd known him for years! Can't wait to do another shoot in the near future :)

Had the pleasure of working with Steve for the 4th time today at one of my fave Urbex spots in South Wales. Steve turned up earlier than planned and with a few days, notice was able to produce some lovely images. Plus his prop collection can come in handy sometimes

Thank you again Steve, roll on tomorrow

Just finished my first ever shoot! and from getting lost and being rescued by this lovely man! To us walking and almost falling over rocks every 5 minutes to the sun making my eyes water and wind blowing my hair in my face. We did have a laugh. And hopefully got some great shots.

Couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to do my first shoot with. I can not wait to see the end results ! X

Had another amazing photoshoot with Steven on one of his amazing locations. He came prepared for outdoor shooting with diverse lighting. He also was able to help posing and made sure the photoshoot was enjoyable. Always a pleasure and cannot wait to do some more interesting shoots

110% recommended

After having to rearrange because of my accident, which Stephen really was understanding about, finally got to work with him again. Away from his usual location, we got to do some Urban shoots before getting muddy and bloody for post-apocalyptic style shoot. He was really helpful with posing and hopefully, we created some good images.

Highly recommend to work with this amazing photographer

Claudia Sampford

Had a shoot wit Steve today in the Brecon Beacons, such a lovely patient guy who knows what hes doing, is very patient and considerate and a joy to be around. We created some beautiful images together and are already planning our second shoot!

Highly recommend him :)

I had a fantastic shoot with Steve today!!

Steve booked me to work at my land and I was extremely apprehensive about working outside (I don’t like getting cold, coward lol) However my fears soon developed into excitement once we started discussing ideas! Needless to say Communication before the shoot was spot on 👌🏼 I knew what he had in mind so I could come prepared with props & outfits as did Steve.

We were blessed with an overcast, mild day, forming the perfect natural softbox!

Punctual & Reliable, in fact he arrived early and went for drive which resulted in a smashed headlight when he was parked up :( feeling a tad guilty about that (gitts)

Steve is professional & chatting, I felt extremely comfortable in his company and the time flew by.

A true Gent, an absolute Pleasure to work with!

I would highly recommend Steve to any model and really hope to have the opportunity to work with him again!

Thanks for a great shoot Steve!

After responding to a casting I put up, had my shoot with Steve in the wonderfully scenic Brecon Beacons! Having never shot there before, and not knowing what to expect, Steve was fantastic at making sure I had everything I needed to manage the terrain, even lending me some wellies to help navigate the waterfalls!

He picked me up from my coach drop off in Cardiff, and dropped me back off after, with the drives in between being very comfortable and enjoyable. He put me at ease from the beginning, and was very easy to talk to which made the entire shoot flow and enjoyable.

Steve clearly has a large passion for photography, and has a very kind and pleasant personality, making him a joy to work with. I am looking forward to seeing the finished images, and can whole-heartedly recommend Steve to other models :)

After quite a few months of back and forthing where neither of us was able to attend a shoot, I finally had the pleasure of working with the lovely Steve on one of my all time favourite themes - post apocalypse!

With detailed pre planning and communication, Steve conveys perfectly what he wants whilst also allowing his model plenty of creative input as well. Incredibly friendly and approachable from the word go, it's more than obvious that he's full of passion for what he does and this comes across in his beautiful photos. Despite the rain and having to wade through a very cold river to get to our location, Steve was an absolute trooper, full of interesting stories and cracking jokes as we went - a good sense of humour is essential. He was happy to give direction when needed to help improve shots but allowed me more than enough creative freedom with my posing (always appreciated) and the time just flew by.

Organised, respectful, creative and overall a very warm and happy gentleman, we had a lovely time on the shoot and I can't wait to see the final images. It might have been his first survival shoot but you can bet Steve will take on any challenge come rain or shine to get that shot!

I'd most definitely recommend this lovely chap to anyone. Thanks for such a fab shoot Steve!

We will be returning your torch shortly, I swear!

Well Steve is just fantastic! He suggested some local waterfall points for a shoot which I thought was fab, having lived here a while and not visited one taller than me, I thought it was a great opportunity to get creative.

Great communication from the start and good banter, and even offered a lift as well which is always a bonus when youre out in the sticks of Wales.

Steve was brilliant company to work with, and brought everything from climbing gear to biscuits which is an A+ in my book.

I would definitely work with Steve again and plan to. 100% recommended by me. Thanks again for the shoot Steve!

Once again an amazing shoot!

We half planned a spontaneous shoot at my new home! We knew we wanted to use the large Windows for natural light shots but we left the rest to free glowing creativity.

Focalpoint arrived on time ready to go very friendly to talk to and open to crazy ideas.

Second time working with focal point and not the last! Got lots planned!

Highly Recommend working with him!
