I would absolutely recommend Darren, he was a fantastic model to model alongside.

I was excited to work with him as I like his style of work and he had been recommended to me.

He is so friendly, professional, very experienced, great at posing and his facial expressions were spot on. He had a great eye for what works. The shoot was great fun and we worked well together and got some really great images.

I would be more than happy to work with Darren again.

Thanks,

Poppy 😊

I can highly recommend him.

Very enjoyable shoot with Darren, his experience and professionalism became really obvious almost the moment we started. We had a brief chat before we started shooting and from that it was clear this was going to be a good session and it was - I'm already looking forward to the next time we work together.

Had the delight of working today with Darren at Antwerp Manson, with Miss Jay.

Darren is true pro in his approach to a shoot. Pre comms were spot on and Darren brought everything with him that we discussed.

Darren can take direction, is experienced in working with others and also contributes to a shoot with creative ideas, adding to the scenario.

I would work with Darren again, and I can’t recommend him enough to others.

Syren

Nothing really new to add to this list that won't have already been said but Darren is a fab model and is a must book if you haven't already worked with him.

Whatever the concept he has got an outfit and attitude to match it.

We finally together at NLS and managed to squeeze in a number of great ideas in a short space of time.

Highly recommended.

Another great shoot with Darren today, this time as a duo with Syren at Natural Light Spaces. This was a shoot that the three of us had been planning for a while, and Darren's ideas and enthusiasm were a key part of it. Darren's choice of outfits and concepts were excellent, as was his willingness to try new ideas - he puts his full effort and attention into every shot.

Darren works well both as a solo and with other models. He knows how to work with light, and how to share the light too. His posing style is natural and flowing, and his sense of fun is ever-present. This shoot was a three hour one, and the time flew by. Fully recommended, as always!

It was a pleasure to work with Darren again.

Darren is great with pre coms. Great at putting ideas forwards.

He has an eye for detail great poses and easy to work with.

As well as myself working with Darren we had some of our camera club members who attend the shutter shack for shoots. These photographer's range from beginners to advanced.

Darren was very patient whilst my self and another tutor worked with the members.

Looking forward to working with Darren again on my own portfolio and as well as having him back for our photography club.

Thank you for a brilliant shoot.

Yet another great shoot with Darren. As usual he arrived with a full wardrobe, this time dress shirt, trousers and bow tie plus many other masks, hats, latex gloves etc. which gave us ample scope to create some exiting images based round the grand piano in Antwerp Mansion. Darren immediately got into character as a virtuoso pianist. We then progressed onto some more surreal and outlandish themes. Darren always brings loads of his creativity to a shoot which is very refreshing and makes for a great working partnership. Yet again highly recommended.

Had a great fashion and portrait shoot with Darren this month at Silkwood Studio.

Darren is highly recommended - some awesome outfits and looks - very good comms written and verbal.

Good fun to work with and very professional and full of helpful creative ideas. I will be working with Darren again in the near future,

Patrick.

Third shoot for Darren and myself, once again everything just went perfect, Darren is one of the coolest and calmest people I’ve ever worked with, patient and ready to make sure we both get perfection.

Looking forward to working together again soon.

Rich.

My latest shoot with Darren definitely pushed all the boundaries of weirdness and surrealism - from cross-dressing steampunk princess to urban apocalyptic warrior, we used Darren's extensive wardrobe, a few of my props and the great alternative creative space of Antwerp Mansion to devise some mages that pushed me out of my comfort zone and will be a great addition to my portfolio. Darren always arrives with some new wardrobe item or prop that adds extra spice to a shoot and he definitely excelled himself this time. Thanks again

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Had a fabulous shoot with Darren yesterday! It was my third time of shooting with him and he was awesome as ever. He came well prepared with a variety of choices of wardrobe items. Posing was second to none (as usual) and very well mannered, fun and open to ideas whilst adding his own input to build on the idea. Used my daughter's studio, The Studio, Cheslyn Hay. Totally recommended by me. Thank you Darren, best wishes Jann :-)

Darren arrived at our 2nd shoot with a massive wardrobe of costumes but 3 items - a 40s raincoat, a small imitation revolver and a kilt - together with some props already at the studio, gave us all we needed to create some moody 40s 'noir' portraits and a series of 'Highlander' pastiche images. Darren has a great gift for subtle characterisation that gives added authenticity to the finished product. I'm very excited about the work we produced.

I had a full day shoot with Darren yesterday, and we covered such a range of looks, from costume on location, to studio fashion, portraiture and fine art nudes. Darren is tireless, and was very tolerant of my weirdness. Darren came armed with outfits, and ideas. He communicated well pre-shoot, was exactly on time. He is lovely to work with, and really works hard to make sure you get exactly what you want from your shoot. I only have positives to say and I fully plan to work with Darren again in the future. Thank you, Darren!

Darren arrived exactly on time for our shoot bringing with him an extensive wardrobe from formal wear, through steam punk to fetish. We were able to launch straight into some latex catsuit shots, which was a first for me, and then shoot some surreal fashion, continuing on to art nude and ending up with some steam punk style images. Darren naturally adapted to each new scenario, was always pleasant and relaxed to work with and looked great throughout.

Had my second shoot with Darren today as he was in the area for a while, and we worked in my little set up at home.

As before, Darren brought along a variety of clothes and props and arrived on time to discuss plans and go through ideas.

We worked our way through a few different sets of outfits, and even though I had a minor lighting problem, he was an absolute pleasure to work with again and wasn't fazed by my faffing.

Got some cool shots, and Darren is always up for trying anything which makes shooting together easy.

Thanks Darren!

Third time shooting with Darren and as always a true pro. Darren always turns up fully prepared and with bags of energy. Apart from his obvious masculine good looks, (which he can turn to frighteningly ugly if you want him to) has to be one of the nicest guys on the modeling scene.

For those who haven't booked him as yet your missing the experience of working with a true model.

My 2nd shoot with Darren who really helps to stretch you as a photographer. Totally tiring day but great fun.

Really happy to work with you, poses brilliantly and shows his diversity.

Look forward yo the next time.

Absolutely fantastic shoot with Darren. A true professional with amazing features and a great bone structure. This was one of my first professional shoots, Darren made me feel at ease and nothing was too much trouble. It really felt like he contributed huge amounts to the shoot and had some great advice for progression. Thank you Darren for being a star and utterly easy to work with. I’d recommend Darren and would definitely suggest working with him when you can. I look forward to working with Darren again on some more ideas.
