The first shoot with Darren was awesome and our second even better! He indulged me in my shot 'Man Outstanding in His Field'. The idea for the shot came about because I truly believe Darren is an outstanding model.. and it was a bit of fun, which sums Darren up. The committed side of Darren makes the ideas for shoots work, with his incredible attention to detail and immaculate presentation, but he doesn't take himself too seriously, making shoots enormous fun. We did a duo shoot this time with Harris - these two work tremendously together - the rapport they have is clear. Between us we found the location, put together the outfits and made up the story which worked out very well and there will be a sequel. Thanks guys, looking forward to the next one :)

Harris

Though he spent a lot of our last shoot together making me laugh at inopportune moments(!) I was delighted to work with Darren again last weekend; this time, with Karen(KK).

I loved running around a deserted airfield with Darren, getting our 007 on –we had a blast! Darren brought a huge amount of clothing with him, along with accessories to enhance the shoot. His ideas for the day were brilliant, too.

Fortunately, the series calls for a sequel, which means the three of us will get to work together again soon. I can’t wait! :)

Darryl J Dennis

My 2nd shoot with Darren over the weekend, which turned out to be far, far better than our first (which was also pretty damn good)

So easy to work with, and a real gent. Like all the great models on here, you can throw most ideas at him and he's able to pull them off somehow.

Awesome guy, fantastic model.

Another highly recommended from me. :)

I had the pleasure of working with Darren last weekend, and of course there is a lot to be said!

We had been planning shooting together for many months, finally we pulled it off with Darryl Dennis.. Darren was an absolute gentleman and a brilliant model to work with... I was so glad to have the opportunity! Darren arrived incredibly well prepared and raring to go! We managed to go through multiple looks and outfit changes and achieve some awesome images

I cannot recommend Darren highly enough to models and photographers alike- a great model and a wonderful guy :-)

Where to start...?!!!

Darren is awesome!! ♥

He is such a friendly, funny, professional.. not to mention totally GORGEOUS guy!

We'd been trying to organise a shoot for ages and finally got to work together on a vintage, romantic themed shoot last weekend. The images we created are amazing! Can't put into words how pleased I am with them! :)

Darren was very organised and ensured he brought all that he could ever possibly need... including an obscene amount of hats aha :p He's an extremely talented model with an incredible figure and look. He made me feel at ease right from the start and he made me laugh all day long :D

Really hope we get to work together again sometime soon :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thanks Daz! :) xxx

This was my third shoot with Darren, so I knew exactly what to expect. Friendly, easy going, polite, full of ideas, creative, versatile... If I were to list all of his qualities then I would be here all night. It's easier just to say... the guy is awesome. It doesn't seem to matter what character he is asked to play, or what pose is needed, he nails it every time and makes it look easy.

He stayed at mine for the night, as we were both involved in a group shoot the next day (today), and in all honesty there are not many people I would allow to stay over, so I think that says something about what I think of Darren as a person. He really is a great guy. As a model, he just seems to be able to adapt to any role/character, and always helps to produce amazing images, as you can see from his portfolio.

Darren was booked for an event at my studio in Stockport called "The Hit Man" where we created images of a nija, a boxer and of course "The Hit Man" (from the game). Darren is a complete professional, works hard and is able to create interesting characters in front of the camera. He is able to pose with little direction. Darren came well prepared with everything we had discussed before the shoot. He was very popular with the photographers who came to the studio. He is highly recommended and I hope to shoot with Darren again in the future.

Coltrane

Darren travelled all the way down to South Wales to work with me for the first time.

Good communications, arrived early, great to work with.

worked with Darren on a shoot with Rugglez.... I thoroughly enjoyed working with Darren and finally getting to meet him :)...

He brings a shed load of items and is mega professional and is super fun...

Given the shoot involved ropes and me being tied up I felt 100% confident and comfortable with Darren as my Model partner, very sweet yet hands on, always making sure I was OK :)

I would definitely work with Darren again and an obvious recommendation to working with this man

I had a great shot with Darren and Lea Lea a little while back. Comms were spot on from the start, Darren was keen ton collaborate on ideas and have some great input.

Darren was at the location in good time, came with an impressive range of outfits and worked like a trooper throughout. We got some great results from the shot and I'd happily shot with Darren on future projects! Thanks again Darren :)

Had a brilliant shoot with Darren tonight, communications before and on the day where excellent, arrived on time, knew exactly what he wanted and also took direction exceptionally well, lots of laughs where had and I look forward to working with him again....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It's been a while since I shot a guy, so when Darren contacted me to shoot I decided it was time to try some more. He has a fantastic face for photography, is very expressive and can 'act the part'. He is also tall, lean and muscular which all translate to the camera extremely well. Our ideas for the shoot worked very well, leading on to many more ideas for future shoots already in the pipeline. Darren is great to work with, requires little direction and knows how to make the shot believable. He is punctual, prepared and provides faultless comms. I am highly impressed with this male model.

Andy Park

Well, my first male shoot and who better to start it with than Darren. This model is doing so well in the time he has spent modelling and his portfolio is of high standard. Darren has worked with many reputable photographers and has always chosen wisely. So it was such an honour to be contacted by him. Darren is methodical, organised and timely, giving 100% commitment to his work. Communication was excellent throughout planning right up to the shoot. Fun day all round and very productive. I hope I have done him justice being the first male model I have worked with. Thanks for your time and commitment Darren.

Definite recommendation from me.

Darren played a key role in a day long concept shoot yesterday in London. He had arranged local accommodation for the evening, arrived early, ready for the busy shoot schedule. Despite being whipped mercilessly and then shot through the forehead, he remained a pleasure to work with with throughout the day ... Totally professional, polite & good-natured.

Harris

FINALLY got to shoot with this awesome chap after discussing it for about 8 months. We worked with Bokehlicious on a concept that Darren came up with and the results were superb.

I really hope we can work together again. Darren is professional but also huge amounts of fun. It is easy to see why he is in such demand :)

Darryl J Dennis

What a model! Darren's work has been through the roof in the past few months, and it's easy to see why he's in such demand when you meet him. Friendly, creative and talented are just a few words that describe this gentleman.

Darren made our shoot as easy and relaxed as you'd like. Needs no assistance with poses, but is more than receptive if/when direction is given. Fantastic all round

Highly recommend.

Had my second and definitely not last shoot with Daz in my home town Weston Super Mud. Darren had a few ideas he wanted to try so we conquered the beach. Once there we shocked the public with a muscular guy throwing himself on the concrete and sinking into the muddy sea . I'm glad he did as the images are stunning.

After a break we molested the inner city at night time were Daz was complimented by the public for his great looks when shooting him around the club scene in Weston. We ended the night with a fake fight between him and Nathan and luckily didn't get arrested.

Absolute magnificent guy to work with, awesome body, great looks and such a loveable person to be around.

As before...Darren is an absolute 'Must' to work with, extremely versatile, hard working and a fountain of ideas.

Thanks for yet another epic shoot. Looking forward to the next one :) xx

Roj Smith

Had a great shoot with Darren this week, he is professional, friendly and very easy to work with. I was impressed by Darren's commitment and the effort he put in to make sure we got the shots just right. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and we discussed locations and ideas.

Darren has a great physique and a personality to match. It was a pleasure working with him and I would thoroughly recommend him for your next shoot.

Darren is one of the most professional models I've worked with. He was early to the shoot, comms before and after have been spot on, and he turned up with a boat load of stuff for the shoot. Darren was very easy to work with, we got through a load of ideas in a very short space of time. Really nice guy and excellent model, highly recommended.
