Today was my first time shooting with Steve and it was a pleasure!

He is very easy to work with and his pre shoot comms were spot on, I knew exactly what outfits he wanted and what kind of sets he was going for. On the day we arrived with plenty of time and the shoot just flew by. It was at a relaxed pace but we still got a lot of stuff done!

I hope this isn't our last time working together and I would highly recommend working with him!

Can't wait to see the images!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve today, what a fantastic experience it was.

From the very start of Steve approaching me, he was polite, respectful and very transparent. I explained to Steve the type of images I wanted to achieve, he was very accommodating and was coming up with all sorts of good suggestions.

We organised a home shoot at my own home to shoot some portraits and then we headed off into the city to capture some night fashion shots. Steve arrived fully equipped and on time. He even stopped on his way to buy some material that I suggested for the shoot, how lovely.

Steve is a fantastic photographer who is passionate and puts 110% into what he does. He puts the model first and ensures his work is satisfactory. Steve is very kind, respectful and a pleasure to be around. I would definitely recommend Steve to any model out there, especially if you’re wanting those portrait shots!

Thank you Steve and I look forward to working with you again.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the first time during my West Yorkshire tour and from the initial message through to waving goodbye, he was polite, professional and very friendly. We got along really well and captured some amazing images from the offset.

His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out, well planned and then well executed. He arrived on time and after a brief chat we had a tour of the property and jumped straight into our first set. We covered a range of fashion through to lingerie and art nude in our time and each set was a winner. Steve might be relatively new to model photography but his work speaks for itself, it's truly stunning! The back of camera shots were ace and the edits I've seen so far are also lovely. It was a pleasure to work with him and I absolutely hope to do so in the future.

Thankyou for a fab shoot!

Highly recommended by me.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve at my home yesterday! After his 3 hour trip (each way!) to shoot with me, not only was I honoured about that but also had a fantastic time working with him over 4 hours, which was originally 3 😊 as we were shooting in the afternoon-early evening, Steve brought his lights with him just in case the natural light wasn’t enough, but we managed to get a selection of both naturally and artificially lit images for most sets! As Steve is relatively new to working with models and so wanting to expand his portfolio as much as he can, we worked our way through sets of portraits, lingerie, art nude and pointe. It was honestly a pleasure working with Steve, both on a professional and personal level. The 4 hours flew by too quickly and I hope to work with him again one day soon. Thanks Steve, it was a blast and I can’t wait to see the final images we created! Highly recommended, of course.

I worked with Steve for the first time at Zavod today, what an overall pleasant experience :)

Steve reached out to me a while back via email and explained that he is new to model photography but has been doing sports photography for quite some time now, and has his own website. He came across as very professional and polite from the get-go.

He wants to expand his photography knowledge and develop in people photography - I was so flatted to be one of his first models!

Steve's pre-comms were great, I requested a mood board, and I got one. Everything was very organised before we met and I did have a good feeling about this one :)

On the day he was even better in person than in emails! He is a warm, welcoming person, who isn't afraid of feedback and I can see that he is genuinely passionate about photography. Steve is entirely in it and I can see him going far at achieving his goal.

Thank you once again for choosing to work with me.

Welcome back to the studio to work with myself or other models anytime.

Good luck on your new journey!

All the best,

Xenia

I worked with Steve for the first time yesterday and I was honoured to be Steve’s first model shoot!

Steve contacted me on purpleport and Instagram and explained he was new to this world,he provided me with plenty of information and it was very easy to arrange a shoot. I admired Steve’s approach to getting into model photographer and his confidence with using these sites and booking experienced models!

Steve had a few ideas but mainly wanted to practice shooting with a model. He was so friendly and easy going,it was a pleasure to shoot with him! Steve had already been taking notes from professional photographers,it was great to see someone who wants to learn and improve their photography at the same time as learning to interact well with models.

Overall we had a lovely little shoot and I look forward to working with Steve again in the future,I would absolutely recommend shooting with him.
