I was happy to host Damien at Upper Mills. A lovely chap who quickly built an excellent rapport with his model. He has an eye for detail, lovely lighting techniques and works at a steady pace, taking into consideration the model's views on outfits and styling. Very patient with a few technical hiccups, Damien was a pleasure to work with and I would happily work with him again. Very highly recommended. I look forward to seeing the results.

I got to work with Damien on Paul's Wales Weekend a few days ago and we had a brilliantly productive shoot!

We shot some cute cowgirl nudes, shot some bonus duo's with Tanya and pulled some great art nude shapes in the barn- not forgetting a few jumping flour shots too!! :)

The images looked great and I can't wait to see them go up on PP! Thanks, Damien :)

Damien was great at communicating from the offset, the shoot was arranged last minute but he gave me loads of good direction to create fantastic images. the shots are so much better than I could have imagined, he was super friendly and great to work with. I will 100% be working with him again.

Highly recommended!

Damien is AWESOME! :)

We organised a woodland based location shoot and struck gold with the fabulous weather! Exploring various different styles from fashion, fashion nude and art nude we had a lovely 4 hour shoot and a bit of a picnic whilst creating some beautiful images.

Damien is a lovely guy, full of ideas, awesome with a camera and overall an absolute joy to work with.

I would definitely recommend him to any model :)

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!

I worked with Damien at Jake Hicks's workshop about a week ago, he was just amazing to model for

He was great with communication and direction, we got on well and he was always smiling

Positive vibes all around, a lovely guy and brilliant photographer

I need to model for him again!

Highly recommended 🙌🏻 thank you!

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.

Samantha Rose

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 :)

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 look forward to next time!

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
