I had a great first shoot with Stuart recently. He is very friendly and professional, and has many ideas to shoot. I felt comfortable working with him, and we got to shoot many different themes. The images I've seen from the shoot look really good!
I'd happily shoot with Stuart again sometime, and I highly recommend working with him. :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Stuart at Joel Hicks photographic studio yesterday.
Stuart had some great ideas and pre-shoot communications were perfect, I knew exactly what to bring with me and how to prepare my make up. We did a lovely vintage style set and Stuart provided a fabulous outfit for me to wear. A lot of thought had gone in to this shoot.
Not only is Stuart a talented photographer, he is also lovely and chatty. I liked Stuart immediately and our shoot flew by.
Highly recommended!

Still makes me chuckle when I think about the absolutely, brilliant and bonkers ideas that I shot with Stu on our most recent shoot together... We have actually worked together twice again since the first time and I feel each time it's got better and better and better... he just knows how I roll now and I know how he rolls. That said I don't think anything could have prepared me for slime and bright blue hair! :D :D Goodness me Stu; I'll pass the surgeons bill on for rib replacements okay? Because I sure broke a few hysterically laughing when we were in that studio shooting all manner of weird and wonderful things!
I always enjoy shooting with Stu because he thinks outside the box: we have shot at the same venue all three times and it's because he is a really creative person naturally so always comes up with wicked looks and sets for the models to work with. On the same note He'll welcome a models input and it is always this fabulously balanced flow that is upbeat, laid-back, stress free and just pure class really. Stu will also go that extra mile to get stunning composition: that is so good to know as a model because when you're doing some crazy/back breaking pose or standing around in a lake up to your neck you know that Stu is going to be doing his stuff to get the best angles etc. I cannot literally give him enough credit for the awesome passion he puts into his shoots: it's really inspirational actually and I am sure other models he has shot with will agree that he puts a lot into the pre of ideas to come up with things that will suit each model. Sure, we do a little bit of "winging it" on the day but we always have some cracking foundations to start with when we shoot together. :) It's the best of both worlds too - on our second shoot we did lots of pretty/arty things and then on the most recent one we kind of just when nuts! :D Never a dull moment for sure!
Stu has the best pre-shoot communications without a shadow of a doubt - we mostly sort everything through text now because I'm either on the Facebook naughty step for a nipple not being shaded enough when we're due to shoot or cannot get on to Madcow from my phone so it's just brilliant how reliable Stu is with getting it all organised and betting back to me straight away.
A real gent, so much fun and completely respectful and courteous towards his models. He appreciates models pushing themselves and is so positive about it: yet he will not have his models come to any discomfort and only has them doing what they are 100% comfortable with. Very highly recommended (3rd time in the running!) And as always, I really look forward to working together again.
Thank again Stu, until next time! :P

I was lucky enough to get a chance to work with the amazing Stuart, the shoot was orginally for location. But the weather couldn't be helped so lucky enough there was a studio we both agreed on to shoot at in short notice.. the pre coms were excellent we both knew what we wanted to achieve and I'm sure we smashed it with some epic images to follow.
Anyone fancy a shoot and a giggle this is Your guy, higly reccomend.
Looking forward to working with you again soon

I landed the opportunity to shoot with Stuart very last minute when he put a casting call out at the weekend - I was delighted when he got back to my application saying that him and his friend Martin were keen to shoot that day and after a mad morning sourcing a location last minute we literally had the most productive afternoon/evening shoot we could have possibly anticipated! :D I very much enjoyed working with Stuart, not only for the fact that he's got very creative eyes for beautiful images qualities (and a lean towards some of my favourite modelling styles) but also for the sheer amount of laughs we had on the day.
We shot at Joel Hicks Photographic meaning we had opportunity both on outside location plus in the studio; different technical challenges for sure but Stuart took the challenging weather in his stride and then went on to carefully assemble controlled lighting set-ups for results that really make you go "WOW!" He puts great levels of care to frame nicely, balance light and deliver feedback when a pose is working... a photographer I would recommend highly without a shadow of a doubt. I am already looking forward to the next opportunity we shall get to work together, that said it felt like we had done previously already because of the superb rapport we fell straight into.
tremendous professionalism, wonderful attention to artistic detail in his work and an epic sense of humour... I can safely say that any other model due to work with Stuart have a grand shoot. :)
Thanks again Stu!

I had a great shoot with Stuart today. For the whole 3 hours I was kept busy. He let me put in my own ideas and came up with some very entertaining ones himself! I am really looking forward to seeing the images from the shoot. All in all a very enjoyable time. Stuart is a lovely guy, chatty and funny. I hope to shoot again with him in the future.
Thanks Stuart

I shot with Stuart at StudioM in Portsmouth. What a lovely guy and great photographer! Between us, we came up with some brilliant ideas with some fantastic results. I cannot wait to see what the photos are like; from what I saw they looked amazing. Our shoot had been a long time coming, and I'm so glad it finally happened. Very friendly, and brilliant photographer, hope to work with him again soon. Highly recommended.
