Thanks, Derek, for a wonderful day in the countryside. Derek is a real gent and a wonderful photographer. Loved what I saw on the camera and look forward to seeing all of his new work. Great company to shoot with and full of ideas. Would highly recommend!

Apart from being a very down to Earth, intelligent, and lovable human being, Derek is a good layed back professional to work with.

Derek willingly provided personal details before I even asked them (models remember to do this, safety first!). He also takes consideration in model's health when shooting outdoors and arranges shoot carefully around weather forecasts.

Technically speaking, he understands light and colours very well, and even all of the raw images I saw in camera were sharp with right focus points.

Truly recommended, P.S. Derek loves cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles, just in case you needed to know.

Derek is an amazing photographer, very prepared and organised, very talented and has a great eye to capture beautiful moments. Got down to editing right away and send me a dozen images within 2 days of the shot, and there's still more to come. I had an amazing time, not only because the shots were flattering - it's because of his brilliant energy. The location in nature was also very refreshing and it was fun to strike a pose and be silly. It was lovely to meet his beautiful partner too. Great memories - totally recommend to any model and I hope we will get to shoot again. Peace n luv sir.

Amazing, brilliant, creative, proffessional...I could be enumerating nice words for Derek a long while, but it would be much better if you just book a shoot with him so you can see yourself. We had a nice time, enjoying nature and photography. Very recommended!

What a wonderful day..

It was an amazing experience for me ..the real outdoor shooting with Derek.

In the beautiful nature, this great photographer made me free and happy. Ive fell in love with tree, grass, wind, sky..and his camera. I just follow his way naturally.

Thanks again Derek, really looking forward to shoot with you at any my next visit in Scotland! !

Worked with Derek for the first time yesterday. It was a really enjoyable shoot, very easy going with ideas flowing easily. I found Derek to be easy to get along with, and had really good ideas, he also works quickly with no faffing about. He also provided spectacular locations.

Wouldn't hesitate recommending Derek, he is professional, friendly, and has already sent me some photos from the shoot. He even brought sandwiches!

Hopefully we will work together again :)

I had a wonderful shoot and wonderful time with Derek, he has so many ideas!! He is very creative I don't think his mind ever stops, the time ran away with us and we still had so much more we wanted to do. He looked after me very well on the day and supplied coffee and lunch. Highly recommend you will get some amazing pictures!

Derek is a person whose works I admire.

I have already had 3 shoots with him and hopefully will have the 4th one soon. I have always enjoyed to colloborate with him and a creative energy in this shoots. I also felt very comfortable working with him what I think is very important.

Highly recommend.

I worked with Derek a few years ago on a TF collaborative shoot, he was well organised and drove us to the most beautiful locations, he was very conscientious about my comfort, temperature etc.

The pictures were gorgeous and time flew by and he's a top notch bloke,

Hope to work with him again :)
