Client Testimonials.
“I had a wonderful shoot with Stephane! He had a fantastic mood-board and range of ideas to explore. We got a really wide range of set up shots, with a variety of lighting and different styles.
Stephane has a really clear artistic vision and gives brilliant direction to capture the perfect image. The shoot was really fun, Stephane has a wonderfully calm and focused energy which makes for a really nice atmosphere, a productive relaxing shoot and great chats. I'm delighted with the shots we got and highly recommend booking with Stephane if you get the opportunity!”

“Professionalism, dedication and communication. Working with any photographer, you need these three elements. Stephane not only showed all three, but also demonstrated an incredible amount of kindness and understanding.
His passion for his craft is immediately apparent when I arrived at his studio. Throughout the shoot, he made it clear what he was trying to accomplish, and able to execute it with confidence and charisma. Sometimes it’s difficult when working with someone you have never met, and Stephane not only made the shooting environment extremely welcoming, he gave me confidence from the very start which only made the shoot more enjoyable. We connected so much in our creative process, and I could not have asked for a better result from our shoot together.”

“Shooting with Stephane was such a pleasure, communication was fantastic from the very get go, we agreed on inspiration and schedule and everything went smoothly.
He's super professional, on the day he picked me up from the station and welcomed me to his home studio. He provided drinks and snacks. I wanted to work with natural light and shadows, we luckily got to do that with the weather we had on the day. I can not wait to see the images, since what I saw on the back of the camera was stunning! Stephane's a very good photographer, knows exactly what he's doing, shoots digital and film and we had some very interesting conversations as well. Stephane happily directs models, works super hard to get the shot and is open to trying the model's ideas as well. I felt entirely at ease the whole time I was there. I absolutely recommend working with this talented photographer if you get the chance!”

“I had the pleasure of shooting with Stéphane last Friday at his home studio and I was so impressed from start to finish.
Stéphane is a true creative; from the moment we started to arrange our shoot I could tell how passionate he was about his work.
We met for coffee a few weeks before our shoot to discuss ideas and we could have talked for hours! Stéphane was so friendly, easy-going and could not have been more understanding about my situation (we had to postpone from our original date since I had recently been unwell).
On the day of our shoot Stéphane was so welcoming, ensuring I had plenty of refreshments and felt comfortable and relaxed in his home studio. He was an excellent director and so professional; his knowledge of his equipment was clear to see and we were able to shoot two rolls of film as well as a varied selection of digital photos all in only a few hours together. I cannot wait to see the results of our time together and I would jump at the chance to shoot with Stéphane again!”

I really enjoyed working with Stephane on this shoot. I like his style and his process. He gives good direction and I have taken away some useful tips from the shoot.
Stephane is very accommodating and has a friendly, pleasant personality. Communication was excellent, Stephane also sent me a mood board before the shoot and from there we were able to plan and organise the shoot. I’m very impressed and I am looking forward to shooting with him again soon!”

“Magnificent, truly magnifique!
I can honestly say Stephane is by far one of the best if not the very best photographer I have had the joy of working with!
Clear, calm, precise, detail and stunning results. Stephane will inspire you and guide you to achieve better, a true photographer with a great eye and vision who makes capturing that moment seem effortless!
Extremely conscious and caring, a true professional and I would highly recommend him should you ever need a photographer to capture that perfect moment, I loved working with him and would do so anytime!”

“Now having worked with Stephane on two different occasions, I can say that every time it has been an absolute pleasure to shoot with this highly talented photographer!
The dedication and enthusiasm that he puts into each and every session is undisputed, making sure that each and every picture taken will certainly be of great quality and detail. Not only this, but Stephane will go to great lengths in order to accommodate my own thoughts and conrtributions to the shoot, helping to grow and develop myself as a model with such creative freedom. This has led to amazing teamwork between both model and photographer producing stunning results each time!
Moving onto the outcome of the photographs, Stephane has clearly demonstrated his dedication as a photographer, working on shoots for hours in order to get the precision and details in photographs in a quick turnaround. I am always one of people who probably ask for too many pictures as they all look amazing, but he has still managed to provide me with all the photos to the upmost standard.
Stephane also has a very caring and supportive personality, making me feel instantly comfortable in the session, also calling for a highly fun filled and productive time! He will always take the time to talk at the beginning to compare my vision and his on the session, also giving advice and really supporting me in my own career as a model. If it wasn’t for Stephane I would not be where I am today, so I would definitely reccommend him to anyone looking for an excellent photographer!”

“Stephane is a fantastic photographer, so talented! And an absolute pleasure to work with.
He makes me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, not only does he help with directions of movements and poses but he’s also really knowledgeable about different lighting techniques and angles of the camera to create the perfect shot, we have created some fantastic commercial shots, editorial shots and beauty shots on location and in his studio, in which all has helped me build my perfect portfolio for my career. As a full time model its important I update my pictures regularly and Stephane has been fantastic in helping me do so.
I couldn’t recommend him more; he has shot some of my all-time favourite pictures, my modelling portfolio wouldn’t be the same without him, not only is he a talented photographer but I’m proud to also call him my friend, he’s an absolute gentleman and extremely professional.
Thank you Stephane for everything, I look forward to shooting with you again.”

“I had my first shoot with Stephane at an outdoor location in Surrey.
Stephane is a fantastic photographer who truly knows his stuff and was able to capture me very well. He allowed me to pose freely and looked back at his camera to see the images. I must say they were all stunning I was very impressed.
He communicated with me very well before the shoot, he discussed and shared his mood board on different concepts he wanted to achieve.
Stephane is very easy going and we got some really nice shots. I highly recommend him to any model. I am looking forward to working with him again in the winter.
Thanks again Stephane.”
— Faith Babirye
“Stephane is a creative and talented photographer.
A perfectionist about his work, yet laid-back and full of patience and encouragement for someone new to portraiture. He gave me a lot of useful tips about how to look at the camera and how to pose comfortably for portraits. He is affable with a great sense of humour and good at reading people, being able to tell if a pose was slightly uncomfortable for me, then helping me find a more relaxed pose. Although it was the hottest and most humid day of the summer, he kept the photoshoot calm and cool, and I had a really lovely time. Looking forward to being photographed by Stephane again some time.”
— Megan Amy Claire
“What an amazing photographer Stephane is!
The whole process so quick and simple, from start to finish it was perfect. Stephane knew how to capture the best shot with the correct angles and he worked with the sunlight to bring out the best images he could. I would recommend Stephane to any model as he will bring the absolute best out of them and create some stunning photos. He has helped me out with the different type of poses that correspond to the different outfits and I am overcome with amazement with how well the photos turned out. Thank you Stephane, this was the kickstart I needed to peruse my modelling career.”

“I am a hair and makeup artist and have worked with Stephane on two different projects now.
The first time was a short notice as I had been let down by someone else, this led to a great opportunity to work with Stephane. He is extremely talented at what he does and takes pride in all his work. He is very patient and helpful and has produced some amazing shots for me, each time we have worked together the day has always been successful and fun too. I look forward to working with Stephane in the future on more shoots !”
