I had the opportunity to work with Damien last Saturday and am super glad I did.

He covered the basics - he's professional, friendly and a dab hand with a camera - but I really enjoyed myself and Damien made sure I covered anything I wanted to do. Plus, he put up with my constant complaining that it was cold!

Hope to work with him again at some point. :)

Third time working with Damien except this time we were at a great location in Oxford! This was both our first time at this particular location and Damien adapted tremendously to the setting and we were getting along like a house on fire (as usual!) Damien is so easy to work with, in fact we have already spoken about our fourth shoot!

I worked with Damien recently after a late cancellation from another photographer and he swooped in to save the day. I'm so glad I finally got the opportunity to shoot with this fantastic man, his creativity is wonderful, and even from the back of the camera, the images were already looking awesome! He gave excellent direction when required to produce the perfect image and I genuinely had a really lovely time working with him. I hope this shoot was the first of many to come, and I would highly recommend this photographer to all!

Thank you for a fabulous shoot Damien!

This reference is something of a "Three-in-One" reference, as it comes from

Me, Bear - MUA

Andrew Jennings - Photographer

Wolfe Cottage Studio - the Studio we own and run as a husband and wife Team in Norfolk.

Damien has been a regular and frequent attendee at our Studio since it opened last June 2015 which is particularly flattering seeing that is he is based over 100 miles away - so quite a journey!

It's always exciting to do a Make up / styling for different people, but especially when it is panned ahead of time as Damien did, with a mood-board setting out what he wanted to achieve, so the pre shoot communications were excellent.

Indeed, I have certainly seen my husband Andrew and Damien having very in depth conversations from a technical point of view (way over my head!) so I know Andrew enjoys having Damien in the Studio!

However the final word has to be from our two Siberian Huskies, Ghost and Spirit, as Damien always takes time out to play with them in the garden and always welcomes their affectionate attention . . . so as all dog owners know - if your dog likes some one, then that's certainly a recommendation!!

See you soon Damien!

Worked with Damo at shoot madness, great pre shoot comms. Great eye for posing and gives good direction to achieve the shot he has in mind. Fun to work with and I look forward to seeing the images. I would definitely work with him again and would highly recommend especially for a one that specialises in fashion or art nude!

I had the pleasure of hosting Damien for the Shoot Madness day. As well as being very respectful of the venue he was a real pleasure to meet and to see working. Very professional and most originally creative. A really good days shoot and some great shots as a result. Thank you and Kindest Regards Steve Cooper.

Damien was such a delight to work with at Shoot Madness on Sunday. We managed to get some great shots in the room we were provided. He gives direction where needed and is very encouraging. I was able to experiment and take risks due to him making me feel so relaxed and comfortable.

The images I have seen look fantastic and I am in the process of choosing my favourites, but there are so many!

Damien is a lovely guy to work with and I hope to see him again. Highly recommend. X

I met and worked with Damien when he booked in for several hours on my studio day at Wolfe Cottage. Prior to the day, we talked through what he had in mind - he is super organised! - and he prepared a moodboard to share with me to help with the planning, which is always handy. We shot sets using my aerial silks and hoop (nude and in dancewear), and also shot some lingerie/fashion. The aerial work is physically demanding and Damien made sure to let me know the moment I could rest while he checked shots, which was appreciated! He has a real eye for detail too, and directed me to make the pose as best as I could manage for each image. I am looking forward to seeing the edits! I definitely recommend Damien to other models and would be very happy to work with him again :)

Ayla

I worked with Damien loads over the past year, he is such an awesome guy! Great laugh, really kind and just generally an easy going person and I enjoy shooting with him so much. Ive stayed at his house before when I was touring Reading and Ill will certainly be going back :) I think we have 2 more shoots in the pipeline over the next few months also.

Ive never seen anybody improve their photography so quickly, hes very competent at lights, directing his models (in the easy, constructive, free flowing way) and knows his camera like the back of his hand.

Cant wait to see what else he produces over the next year, someone to watch for sure :P

Models - shoot with him! You will have a great laugh and the pics will be fab :)

Highly recommended,

Ayla

I worked with Damien for four hours at Pauls Studio in Reading.

this was our third shoot together and it was so much fun!

Damien brought so many cool things to shoot in and he had so many ideas, Ive seen his photography improve so much over the past few months and he is keen to get the shot right which really inspires me to get creative!

He was kind enough to let me stay over when I needed a bed for the night and was a perfect host :)

I cant wait to shoot with him again and shoot four is already booked!

Highly recommended,

Ayla

Today I had my first shoot with Damien and it was great, the sun even made an appearance for us! Damien had some great ideas and sent over a mood board previously which really helped the shoot along.

We shot on location and the time flew by, Damian is brilliant company and equally good behind the lens :)

Highly recommended to any model and I can't wait to see our shots!

Thank You

Damien and I don't live too far from one another however, during a recent tour of Norfolk, Damien booked a couple of hours at Wolfe Cottage studio.

Damien sent me some in depth detailed plans for our shoot which was fab! he bought a selection of outfits and quirky props to try! We had a great time shooting, a wonderful guy!

Highly recommended!

I shot with Damien for the second time last week on my studio day at Paul's studio Reading.

Damien was again, lovely to work with, he came with some great ideas and we shot an arrange of styles. He was happy for me to give my input as well as giving me good direction throughout the shoot. I highly recommend working with Damien, he is a lovely person and photographer.

Thanks

Carla :)

I worked with Damian again on a Mike Crowshaw workshop. He was as lovely as ever, friendly and kind, carrying my bags through the woods, even though he had 2 tonne of his own stuff! Looking out for me, a total gentleman! He takes great images and is really easy to work with. He is so polite, just the type of person you could work with everyday :D Highly recommended :D

Thanks a million :D x

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting and shooting with Damien at mine and Ayla's studio day on Saturday. Pre communication was excellent, very easy going and likes to have fun:).

Whilst shooting Damien, had a lot of imaginative ideas but he also allowed us to have input. We all managed to work together extremely well and the results look awesome.

Really hope we are able to work together again in the future.

Highly recommended.
