I have known and worked with Stuart for a number of years. He has always been so professional
and nothing is too much trouble. Stuart has a relaxed and laid-back nature, that works well under pressure. This brings out the best in all his photography. A great eye for detail and a top bloke : )

Stuart’s stunning photography is very much present in the John Lewis Foodhall (one of our first projects together) – and since then, we have collaborated on a countless number of press, editorial and in-store shoots for Waitrose. Working with Stuart is like working with a good friend. He has a tireless work ethic and is incredibly calm and good-natured. His client-facing skills are second to none and he always ensures a fantastic end result. I recommend him highly. You’ll never look back!

We love working with Stuart as he is so versatile – I know he always nails the brief and the shots will be beautiful! He is creatively consistent and has a wonderful attention to detail. His lighting always surprises me as he brings an extra dimension to the shot.

He is very easy to work with and always understands what we need, even under challenging circumstances!

Stuart is the whole package. Thank you Stuart for so many successful shoots!
