Damien was an attendee at an event organised by Walter's Wardrobe, so I only got to work with him for a brief section of the day but he was really pleasant, professional and good to shoot with. He used some of the time to put up a brilliant lighting set which set off the colours of the outfit I was wearing so incredibly. Awesome he was thinking outside the box, producing such striking imagery! :-D I look forward to seeing more of his portfolio and would happily work with him again.

Damien booked in on my studio day at Joel Hicks Photographic .

This was my first time working with Damien and what can i say it was an absolute pleasure . Damien arrived on time and was friendly and great to talk to from start to finish . He is also very considerate to models safety during shooting making sure that they are always ok and have breaks when needed .

Damiens communication is excellent . He provided me with a plan for our shoot and a mood board . Therefore I knew exactly what to expect from our shoot and knew exactly what the pack . I also could refer to his mood board to ensure I was posing along the lines of what he was looking for . Damien is clearly creative his styling in his shoot notes ate thought out .

Overall i had a great shoot , it was productive , getting through several looks and he was a pleasure to work with.

Thanks Jess .

Today was wonderful! Damien is such a top bloke, I was put right at ease from the start. He is a real professional who was able to give direction and welcome advice. The time absolutely flew by and there are some truly cracking images. We got through a whole bunch of sets and really used the space!

Cannot wait to work together again!

I had a fabulous shoot yesterday with Damien at Hallam mill. It's always refreshing to do contemporary dance on a shoot as this is my favourite style as well as a little pointe and vintage fashion. Pre-communication was excellent and it was lovely to finally meet Damien. Overall, I would highly recommend him and hope to work with him again.

After seeing some of Damiens work and loving what I saw i decided to approach him for a shoot and I was really excited that he agreed! I hadn't shot in a long time and was really stressed but he assured me it would all be fine! We discussed in detail what we would like to achieve. Travelling to the studio together we got on really well and conversed a lot, super easy to get a long with and no awkwardness what so ever! He was very professional in his approach taking care with the lighting he chose and the gels. He even brought some clothing for me to wear and it added amazingly to the outfit I brought! (Impressed!) The final images were lovely and he let me pick the ones I wanted him to edit! Looking forward to shooting with him again and comes highly recommended from me :)

I have worked with Damien twice in the last two weeks, on both times Damien was fun to work with, I first met Damien on a studio day he came well prepared, with ideas and a mood board. We put our own twist on images and did some creative things with natural light, the second time we worked together was for Walters Wardrobe... The styling, make up and creativity was just second to none. The whole day was amazing and Damien got some amazing pictures of me and the other models.

Thanks for being great.

I had a brilliant shoot with Damien today at my place in London :) We arranged it quite last minute & discussed ideas and the type of things Damien wanted to do, which was great as then I could think and prepare a bit beforehand. :D The time flew by today and we shots lots of different looks and styles and they all looked awesome :D Damien is very creative and experimental, which is brilliant to be on the other side of. I love it that he is interested in styling and cares about the detail. I also love that he experiments with his lighting to see what fits best. The images we shot were so varied, it was great to do such different things in 1 shoot. Damien's interest in all of these elements really inspires you to think a bit more outside of the box, it's great working with someone when you can both add ideas and create something at the end :) As well as all of this photography business, Damien is most importantly a lovely person. He is fun, really easy to get on with and you feel totally relaxed in his company. He is also professional, trustworthy and totally down to earth. Highly recommended :D

Thanks so much for a great shoot :D :D Zara

I worked with Damien for the 5/6th time at the fabulous Thurston Lodge for four hours! We discussed some ideas briefly before the shoot and although we didn't get the best weather we had a fantastic and productive shoot :)

I love working with Damien, he's really down to earth and chatty! He works really hard to make sure the shot is the best it can be and Ive never seen someone improve in their photography the way Damien has over the past 18 months as much as he has :) He always comes prepared with lots of ideas and outfits but he also leaves a lot of room for open creativity and for me to come up with my own suggestions.

Its a pleasure shooting with him and I hope to work with him again in the future at some point :)

We had a shoot at John barone studio on Sunday, and I have to say what an amazing photographer and person Damien is! I was totally blown away by his work and images as well as he's very easy to work with, he guides you for that perfect shot.

He came in very prepared and with awesome ideas, I was excited to work with him straight away and 3 hours went so fast and we achieved some brilliant results.

Damien is very professional photographer, has great ideas, experiments with different lighting, and is an amazing person really pleasant to work with.

I would highly recommend this photographer to anyone who wants to have awesome work in their portfolios. Hopefully will work with him again!

Saracen House Studio

It was a pleasure welcoming Damien to our studio for the first time yesterday. Before the shoot, we had great communications about the booking and what he wanted to achieve and on the day he was prepared and had planned the shoot brilliantly.

On top of that, he's a lovely guy - highly recommended to all.

Damien was fantastic to work with. He went out of his way to help me get to the shoot, great conversation, laughing. He made me feel at ease the whole time and his shots where incredible. I can't wait to see more! Thanks again. x

On Sunday i had a Marilyn style boudoir shoot with Damien. I was so nervous before the shoot as it was my first ever go at boudoir/lingerie - but i couldn't have decided on a better photographer to work with. I felt really relaxed and at ease, Damien really knew what to do and was both professional and friendly. I have seen a couple of preview edits from our shoot and am honestly chuffed with the outcome, so i would definitely work with Damien again both for the quality of his work and because of what a nice guy he is! 100% recommend.

Viviam Kerr

Had my first shoot with Damien today and he came well prepared with lots of stuuf, "toys" and ideas. He was chatty, friendly and very patient when my eyes blinked with the sun or couldn't understand something. I am sure we have created lots of great pictures together, I can't wait to see the results!

Highly recomended and hope to work with him again!

Damien kindly offered me accommodation during my Berkshire tour and was a great host, making sure I was comfortable and providing yummy food! We also did a quick fashion shoot together near his home. Damien was easy to get along with and most helpful during my time down in Berkshire. The photos I saw from our shoot looked really good and I can't wait to see the edited versions! I would happily work with him again and I recommend him to other models, both as a photographer and a host! :)

Studio Antics World

Very glad to see Damien again today. A really smashing fella!! I took a young model along to a group shoot organised by Diaz who has just started her career. Damien took great care with her and, from the BOC shots I saw, he did a fabulous job again. Highly recommended is this super photographer - if you get the chance to work with this organised, thorough guy please grab it - you will not be disappointed. Thank you Damien :D

Had the complete pleasure of meeting Damien yesterday at a group shoot. I was very nervous about going and Damien was a very gentle, kind man who is very easy to get along with!

The images we both produced are some of the best I've ever seen of myself I look so happy and confident and it certainly boosted my confidence a lot more.

I plan on working with Damien again in the future and I'm very happy for the opportunity. Thanks Hun!
