Darrell was An absolute pleasure to work with!! If any of u are new to modeling, (like me) and a bit nervous this man will put u at ease straight away.

Our shoot was fantastic in the short time we had due to the freezing Scottish weather 😂 Darrell managed to get so many shots & even started moving trees about to make the backdrop beautiful

Lovely genuine professional man & cant wait to work with him again !

highly recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just had a second wonderful shoot with Darrell today . This time we went for an outdoors /woodland autumn shoot which was something I wanted to do for a while . We discussed ahead what looks and moods to go for and Darrell went looking around for the perfect areas ahead of the shoot . Unfortunately the typical Scottish weather decended on us today with wind , drizzle and dark clouds . But we decided to give it a go anyways and I'm glad we did as we still got some brilliant pics with some gorgeous locations Darrell had found . it was fun and wouldn't hesitate to work again with Darrell .

Darrell of Jellybean Photography is almost part of the furniture at the studio. He did a second shoot with Affinity Noir to capture some low key images. His support and kind words about the studio are most welcome and makes my move into building a great space for photographers and models to hire worthwhile 😀

Darrel is friendly and easy to work with. Full of ideas while still willing to listen to mine. Photoshoot a true collabourative effort. Absolutely reccomended and looking forward to working with him again.

Darrell did his first shoot at the studio tonight, and was great to work with. He worked well with the two models, encouraging them in a way that got the photos they were looking for for their portfolios. I hope to welcome him back in the future 😁

Just finished a shoot with Darrell and I can't recommend him highly enough . From the moment we arranged the shoot he was very quick in replying to messsges and very organised . Darrell was so much fun to work with , very friendly and fun to talk to . He made me feel at ease on from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, and was really good at giving me direction and advice on what poses work best .He was very professional throughout and we got a lot of photos done in our time frame . Total pleasure to work with and would work with him again for sure .

Always a delight to shoot with Darrell.

He's got such and eye for images and always very respectful. Always lots of beautiful images returned very quickly that are not overly retouched and well balanced and flattering.

Keen shoot again!

Had an amazing shoot/experience with Darrell today. He gave good guidance when taking pictures and was very patient when waiting for cars to go by so they don'ruin the shot. Darrell also went along with an idea i had of mine and did not one bit judge it or say it won't work; such a kindred spirit. Thank you so much Darrell and don't ever change :)

I had a brilliant shoot with Darrell, what a nice guy! We did an outdoor shoot, he picked me up and we went to an area he'd been recommended by a friend. It was a great spot and even though Darrell didn't know the place at all he was really good at diving into the undergrowth and finding really great places to shoot.

It was a funny few hours, we laughed, had a great time and I think produced some excellent shots.

I always felt comfortable and happy with Darrell. I'm a beginner, he was really nice, helping me out and giving me really clear direction. However he listened to my ideas and was really encouraging.

He was an absolute professional at all times.

I really hope to shoot with him again sometime.

THank you for a really fun Monday morning Darrell!

Me and Darrel spend the best part of 30h together on a shoot to the isle of mull. where we got some truely amazing images.

I generally have a no tory photographer policy ... but for Darrell i'll make an exception .

Rule number one about shooting on the isle of mull - do not go in half term.

but we didn't know this - the island has one road going around it - but we sitll got some amazing images - especially on the isle of Iona.

Darrel gives great direction

and doesn't need to take 200 shots per set - which is brilliant ! He takes about 20-30 per set we do and the lighting was brilliant- he didn't take long to set the camera up with the changing sunlights.

He put up with my tiredness and fed me constantly and a stream of redbull was provided.

Very thoughtful photographer - would recommend thoroughly ...

I had my first shoot with Darrell last week and there's not a lot I can say that hasn't already been said in previous references !

He's such a great tog to work with and we got on like a house on fire ! I was relaxed and pampered throughout with snacks and drinks at my disposal and having someone to have a great conversation with was just an added bonus 😀

The results were fab and I can wait to see the final selection of images

I hope to work with Darrell lots in the future and would highly recommend anyone who's thinking of booking him to do it now before he gets booked up

Thanks again Darrell xx

I was honoured today to be a part of Darrell's first location shoot when he came down to the Isle of Wight to shoot me :)

Pre-shoot communications were great and Darrell was even early!!!!! (As was I!)

We shot on beaches, in a wooded area and at a derelict location. I found Darrell to be professional, great company and with a good sense of humour :D

Can't wait to see the images from our shoot and sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Definitely recommended :)

Darrell and I shot yesterday and achieved some great images together. My 50's theme worked great as we were able to have fun with it. Darrell was helpful by directing/suggesting poses and talked me through what he wanted to do. He shared the images with me the next day and advised finished results in a few days from the shoot, big positive!

I'd definitely recommend Darrell, he's very friendly and approachable :)

Darrell attended one of my lighting courses at the weekend. He is a great guy, very easy to get on with and very keen to learn and improve, while still keeping things light hearted. He was an asset to the group and treated the model and the other course attendees with politeness and respect. I'd have no hesitation in recommending any model to work with Darrell.

I had a lovely shoot with Darrel today, it is such a pleasure to work with him. Pre-shoot communication was good, everything was well planned and he was ready to shoot right away.

He has set up a really nice and professional studio with good lighting which is just enough to get a bunch of good pictures. I am very happy with the results, there are so many good pictures to choose from! I very much recommend him and I hope to work with him again in the future!

Had a lovely shoot with Darrell yesterday! Pre-shoot communication was great and we discussed mood board and the types of shots I was after.

On the day he was very organised and had all the moodboards printed out so we could use them as inspiration for our shoot. He was very good at directing and very enjoyable to work with!

10/10 would recommend!

Love working with this man, he is so adamant on what he wants the images to look like and he achieves them, working with different props each time and they work a treat, such a great laugh at the same time also :) and he will go very far with his work, highly recommend! :)

Once again another brilliant shoot! Mantz photography is a brilliant tog with so much potential, as we are slowly working through different sets of lighting and shadow work etc... Love the images he takes all the time. So easy to get on with. And if you have the chance to give him some extra tips or new info please shoot with him! Well worth it :) xx

Had my first shoot with Darrell today in his studio.

This was his second time working with a model and he just wanted to test a few different settings and lights that suited him. He's a lovely , down to earth man, and very respectful, and has the potential to be a great tog :) hope to work with him again soon :) x
