I met Darren by Notre dame in Paris on a Paris fashion workshop. Darren was an absolute pleasure to work with! A really friendly, down to earth guy with a good sense of humour. Darren has a wonderful nature that instantly put me at ease and was extremely professional. Daren is brilliant at using natural light to create beautiful images and really strives to achieve the best possible image whilst thinking outside the ordinary. I would 100% recommend working with Darren and would 100% work with him again :)

Much love,

I have been fortunate enough to shoot with Darren for the 5th and 6th time on my 2 week tour/trip to the north and midlands. We shot at the Pit in Nottingham which was amazing! Then we did some studio/home setting shots. Darren is such a lovely guy and very organised which makes for a productive day. He is a very talented photographer who I absolutely love shooting with and I hope I get the chance again! Highly recommended.

I shot with Darren at the Golding photography workshop at The Pit Studio and he just blew me away with his patience, angles & wonderfully gentle demeanour!

He is very professional & full of ideas, directing me into poses beautifully, whilst using the surroundings & lighting set ups perfectly, with amazing angles and stunning framing!

Darren is a fabulous photographer who knows how to get the best out of models - nothing fazes him & he encourages feedback and ideas from the model, easily making it one of my fave shoots :)

I can't recommend him enough - what an amazing photographer! Em xx

I worked with Darren just a couple of days ago at Damien Lovegroves workshop planned by Jean MUA ! The whole event was fantastic, the styling, makeup, hair etc.. I really did enjoy myself.

I'd like to highly recommend Darren as I really do get on well with him and he was a truly brilliant photographer, he let me pose to pose and gave direction when he had an idea for a shot!

Love the image he has posted already.. Very happy!

Thank you & hope to work with you again soon!!

FINALLY.....got to shoot with Darren, after admiring his work for a while. He joined photographer Paul Smith (Newschool) who had booked myself and Raphaella to shoot together on a dance themed shoot. I was very excited about the shoot and in no way did it disappoint. Darren is a friendly, polite and respectful photographer, he came well prepared with ideas for the shoot and had put together a brief of ideas for the day before the shoot. We shot duo first (myself and Raph doing dance poses) while Darren and Paul took turns to photograph us and then we split up and shot 1-2-1's with both photographers. Whilst shooting with Darren he was very complimentary about the shots we were getting and always showed me the images in the back of the camera which I really appreciate as I think it helps the model to see whats working and how the lighting is falling. The shots looked seriously stunning!

I really enjoyed the shoot and everyone played a part in making it a memorable day, if only we could do it again :D

Thanks Darren, Until next time....Thank you and look forward to seeing the results

Had another brilliant shoot with Darren, he is so great to work, the shoots are always very laid back but he puts in a lot of planning and organisation to get the most from the shoot so your fully prepared and make use of the time productively.

He always ensures your warm enough, plenty of tea on tap, and was kind enough to provide me with some lunch also.

Darren always has excellent ideas and has such a great eye, he is a total joy to work with, fun, chatty, full of energy and such a great eye.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and i recommend him to other Models 100%!

Thank you Darren for another fab shoot, and i look forward to working with you again in the new year :)

Darren attended two of my workshops in the last four weeks and he truly is one of my favourite photographers and people in general! A seriously great guy with a clear talent for photography.

Simply put, great coms, great talent, great portfolio, great guy! Shoot with him!

I had my first shoot with Darren on the 27th September and it was a fantastic first shoot. Prior to the Shoot Darren sent me a very detailed brief with ideas/outfits and lighting set ups which was extremely helpful.

Throughout the shoot Darren made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and was great to chat too. We worked through all of our planned ideas in his home studio and even managed to get out on location for a few shots.

I really enjoyed my shoot with Darren and would be happy to work with him again/recommend him to other models.

Thanks

Darren had some amazing ideas and concepts for what he wanted to achieve and its always a pleasure working with him as shoots are always relaxed and enjoyable

Darren is Professional, easy going, respectful and has a great eye for detail and wants to get the best possible shots to make you look as beautiful as possible.

Really genuine guy and have no hesitation recommending to other Models and look forward to another shoot sometime :)

Had a 5 day shoot with Darren in Majorca. It was a great group trip.

Darren is a great photographers, he has a great eye and his own ideas and looks he's after.

He also makes you feel very comfortable.

As we were shooting he would compliment me which helped me feel more comfortable and confident about the images he was after.

Would highly recommend any model to work with him.

Thanks Darren 😁 x
