Mr G....

What a lovely guy!

I had the pleasure of working with Darren again on Friday, this time we shot on location & although it was in London and the weather not being so great we had a fantastic time and got some stunning images together!

Darren is very considerate and was always asking me if I was warm enough, also brought me a coffee during our shoot to make sure I was warm.

He is such fun to work with, it's shoots like these that make my job so easy and enjoyable.

I cannot wait for our next adventure - Thank you so much for everything Darren!

Until next time.

I had the most amazing shoot yesterday with the lovely Darren, it’s been a long time coming but we finally got to work together at my hone studio space.

Darren is an absolute gem to work with, so laid back and easy going, likes a good chat. Which is always a plus.

I cannot fault our first shoot yesterday, it was such an enjoyable day and I cannot wait to work with him again.

The images look great, I even got to showcase my new hair :)

Thank you so much Darren, you’re amazing!

Looking forward to many more shoots together in the new year!

I had the most wonderful shoot with Darren on Friday, great communication throughout our discussions of style and props etc.

He is a joy to work with, a good laugh and very easygoing.

He made me feel very relaxed and gave me lot’s of tips to use in future shoots, a very knowledgeable guy to say the least! 😊

I honestly cannot wait and fingers and toes crossed, I get to work with him again and again in the future on more fantastic ideas and styles.

I highly recommend anyone to work with him and I look forward to seeing the end results of our brilliant shoot together.😊😊 x

Another super successful shoot with Darren! I'm surprised with a year on PP and only having 14 references. That's just bizarre.

Darren is a respectful, creative, easy going gentleman of incredible talent. Our shoots always flow with laughter, determination and creativity. Time flies by. I feel comfortable and safe in Darrens presence. He's caring and has no problems with tackling challenges on a shoot to achieve goals. It was easy to see that Darren knows his compositions and lighting to create unique images that pop! A photographer who's always aiming higher

I look forward to seeing the results.

Highly recommend.

Another awesome shoot with Darren, this time at the Chapel! He had some really fun ideas to try for halloween and brought outfits/props with him. We also got some lovely art nude photos which looked amazing. Darren is a great guy and I hope I get the chance to work with him again! Highly recommended, Thanks Darren :)

Thank you once again :)

Best wishes

Darren and I shot at my flat yesterday, the main prop of the shoot being some beautiful yellow flowers. Darren was brilliant with communication beforehand, arrived with a clear idea of what he wanted to get from the shoot and we got on like a house on fire! I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to any other model. I'm really looking forward to working with him again in the future :D

I enjoyed my second shoot with Darren today. What a great guy he is. Sadly our plans were messed up as we were supposed to be heading outside, but the weather was against us.

Not to worry, we had plenty of ideas bouncing about and we had such an excellent shoot.

Darren is very easy to work with, I love that he works quickly, we nail a shot and move on to the next set. It means we achieve a huge amount in a very short space of time. We did everything from high ball room fashion (very unlike me) to strappy sexy stuff (much more my style) and even finished off in the bathroom for a brilliant bathtime set.

Darren is great company and a great photographer - what more could you want?

I recommend him wholeheartedly and without reservation

see you soon and thank you for a lovely day

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Darren for the first time yesterday. Pre-communications were fantastic and Darren even sent over some interesting mood boards beforehand which was very useful. Darren arrived fully prepared with a beautiful red umbrella (the main prop and focus of the day was to implement this into our shoot) as well as his vast camera equipment and exciting new lighting that i’d not come across before. Darren is such a professional, creative and passionate photographer who gave great direction but also allowed me to pose freely too. Most importantly, Darren was highly respectful and I felt 100% comfortable throughout our shoot together. He has a great sense of humour, is easy to talk to and get on with and the time we had just whizzed by! The photos I have seen so far are fantastic!

I highly recommend Darren and look forward to our next shoot :)

Had a brilliant first shoot with Darren. Pre -comms were excellent and he sent me a lot of ideas beforehand so I knew what clothing to bring. The location was great, and despite the weather not being on our side we were able to get several sets done. Darren was very courteous and frequently checked that I wasn't too cold. He gives good direction and the back of the camera images looked fantastic. I would be very happy to work with him again and he comes highly recommended from me :)

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Darren today. He arrived on time ready to go, we found a good location to shoot in and got to work. Darren had a great eye for colours/backgrounds that would work well with the outfits I had.

He also allowed me to pose freely but gave direction when needed, which was very helpful. Darren is very respectful and was lovely to talk to in between shots, he has very genuine personality that I was almost instantly comfortable with.

I am so glad to have worked with Darren on this shoot as it is a theme I love and he truly brought it to life. I cant wait to start planning our next one!

Just enjoyed a very happy shoot with the lovely Darren. What a nice chap he is!

Pre coms were spot on, I knew exactly what we were planning to shoot and could prepare some outfits and props in advance - always appreciated.

He arrived bang on time and was very chatty and friendly from the start.

Darren is lovely to work with, he's a very respectful guy and I enjoyed working with him. Mostly he let me pose uninterrupted but every now and then he'd make helpful suggestions which I really appreciated. I felt as if we were working together to get the final perfect image and it was a real joy to work like that.

I would absolutely recommend Darren to others, but I'd much rather keep him all to myself!

thank you so much - see you soon!

Darren was such a pleasure to work with. I have met many photographers and he has to be the most relaxed but also passionate, down to earth I have worked with. He arrived at my place smack bang on time, Communication was on point, he made me feel highly comfortable, I was truly looked after. Darren came prepared with different cameras, lightings and ideas. The shoot just flowed! I look forward to creating more art with him. Highly recommended

I’m pretty sure we got some great pictures too! He was very professional and thoughtful throughout. I felt very comfortable around him and that definitely wasn’t our last shoot! Very highly recommended by me x

I really enjoyed working with Darren! He is engaging, respectful and creative. He was open to ideas and we ended up heading out to an awesome abandoned location! We got some great shots and I look forward to working with him again :) great guy and awesome photographer, highly recommended!

Darren and I shot at my home and had a great time; it flew by! He had great comms before hand, arrived on time, had plenty of equipment with him, and also bought a great personality! We worked through plenty of ideas together and with natural light where possible... really creative stuff. Absolutely very highly recommended, should you be lucky enough to get the chance to work with him!

Darren is absolutely lovely to shoot with.

Entirely professional and easy to get along with. He communicated his ideas and style preferences articulately and it made for a very comfortable, enjoyable shoot.

Cant wait to work with Darren again soon.

Highly recommended

Fab shoot today with Darren, was really great to get on with and he had lots of kit so we could get a good variation of shots in a short amount of time. He is an experienced photographer and I have already seen a few sneak peaks of the shots and know we have got some stunning images. He is happy to listen to the models input on shot ideas/location and very relaxed shooting with him, good direction/communication when needed. Such a gent he even offered me his hand when I was climbing trees for a specific shot.

Great pre shoot comms and will happily work with him again in the future.
