shoots with Earl were totally perfect. he waited for me at time we arranged before and from the beginning he made me so comfortable to work together. Earl despite our ideas poses gave me some advices with posing which I could look better. also I've got a coffee and some accessories for shoots! professional approach and work.

definitely one of best my shoots. excellent contact before, during and after session. I'm really happy about the results and I've already arranged another shoots with Earl.

and one important thing I want to add is that Earl made me so comfortable and I totally lose any shyness! also great fun and smile during the shoots.

Another fun shoot with Earl today, again he was lovely to work with and kept me nourished with tea and biscuits. He had planned some brilliant ideas for the shoot, and more were created as the shoot progressed, not forgetting he was always open to my input. Thank you, I'm really looking forward to seeing the final photos. If you get a chance to work with Earl definitely take it.

Working with Earl was great. He's polite, friendly and very easy to get along with, he treated me with respect and checked I was happy with the shoot. During the shoot he gave good direction and came up with some great ideas in the moment as we had not planned ideas. Very happy with the results too, I'd gladly work with him again.

Brilliant contact before the shoot and discussed many ideas so we were both prepared well for the shoot. Earl was very nice when we met! We discussed the shoot further in person before we started. Had a fantastic shoot, very creative, very professional, knew what he was doing and created some amazing shots! Asked me a lot if there was anything I wanted to do and made sure I had an input on everything which was brilliant and very reassuring. He was funny and made the shoot very fun which it should be. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Had a really enjoyable and fun location shoot with Earl. He did a great job coming up with ideas and gave good direction to really channel the free spirited nature of the 60s which was the theme of our shoot. Would recommend!

Earl is a very understanding, relaxed, professional individual who I would recommend to anyone. He is very respectful and cares about who he works with and their well being. Along with his relaxing, easy-going attitude, he always makes sure there is understanding behind himself and who he works with, in turn creating an environment that lacks the awkwardness any photographer or model dreads.

In terms of the actual work at hand, he does not hide how knowledgeable and experience he is as a photographer. Whilst providing clear ideas and direction, he also pays a lot of attention to ideas from others as well.

Truly a pleasure to work with.

Yesterday I had my first shoot with Earl, and wow!

Despite having only contacted me earlier on yesterday to do a shoot, and with very very little planning, Our was went amazingly!

Earl had some fantastic tips for posing, was a good laugh, and knew exactly what he wanted within the shoot, giving helpful direction when needed :)

We were able to create some amazing images and have a fun shoot :)

Thank you so much Earl! Hope to shoot with you again soon!

100% recommended photographer! X

Had my first shoot with Earl yesterday - great communication beforehand so I knew exactly what was going on. Met at a location I had chose to do a nice outdoors shoot as I haven't got much experience with natural light. Earl was well prepared, fun and energetic giving the shoot a relaxed but professional feel. He is a very creative person so was giving lots of ideas for poses and themes. Had a really good time and can't wait to see the pictures. Hope to work together again soon

Me and earl did a shoot today and I just want to say a big big thank you- to you earl. I read his references beforehand and I was impressed, now I'm pleased to add to them.

This shoot held a few firsts for me. My first bridal shoot which I've always wanted to do. The dress fit perfectly and the park around the corner set the scene perfectly.

I've never done art nude before. I've always been a little anxious about it but earl made me feel relaxed and comfortable so all my worry went out the window.

The milky bath style was a perfect way to end the shoot as my drive home was so relaxed.

Earl you are a great photographer and you should be proud of what you can do with a camera and your equipment. Whoever has a shoot next with him you will not be disappointed.

Hope to shoot with you soon. Thanks again for a wonderful day

I did a shoot with Earl for the first time last Sunday and he was everything you want in a photographer. He was punctual, lovely and the ultimate perfectionist. It was a rainy, breezy day but he made me feel right as rain (pun intended!) and despite the weather Earl worked diligently as though it was a warm,summer's day. He brought lighting with him and was extremely organized. He impressed me throughout the shoot and frequently checked that I was happy and comfortable. As I posed and experimented, he communicated and encouraged me which really gave me the boost that I needed. He was more than happy to try any ideas I had and his sense of humour made the shoot thoroughly enjoyable. He was more than happy to let me flick through the camera at the end of the shoot and I could see how skilled he was by looking through the images he'd captured. Thank you so much Earl :) I look forward to selecting a few of my favourite pictures and hope to work with you again sometime- hopefully the sun will come out to say hello next time! x

Darkman replied to a casting of mine. Immediately we were talking about ideas and based on his portfolio I sent him a moodboard I liked the look of and thought would represent our style, and we began brainstorming from then. Communication was great. Earl was punctual and met me at the location when I got there. Full of suggestions and ideas, we began and Earl actually shoots really quickly and moves onto next ideas straight away. We shot a variety of looks on location and back at his. At his home studio I was always asked if I was comfortable and I was also offered drinks and a lift back. The photos are brilliant and it's hard choosing between them- We are hopefully working together again soon. I can't recommend Darkman enough, as a photographer he knows exactly what he wants from a shot and seems very happy to experiment. Thank you!
