My shoot was running over when Darren arrived for his arranged shoot, the photographer asked and Darren very kindly donated his upper body to create a image that I'd have otherwise not been able to achieve. Darren responded to my "Get your top off & let me bite your neck" with utter professionalism and although the encounter was brief ( & sweaty! ) I'd have no qualms about working with Darren on a full shoot. Thanks Darren, much appreciated :)

This was our second shoot together, so I knew exactly what I get would with Daz - Communication is excellent at all times, arrives on time, brings a mountain of clothing and accessories, suggests some really cool ideas, and posing is spot on for every shot... I just can not fault this guy at all.

We had a list of shots to get through, each needing Daz to play a different character, and show different emotions, and he nailed each one in no time at all.

On top of being a talented and hard working model, Daz is probably one of the nicest guys I've met. Very friendly, polite, and a good laugh too. I have really enjoyed both of our shoots, and the results from both have been excellent.

Golden Ivory

I had the pleasure of working with Darren at the mancave recently and it was well worth the many months of planning and waiting. It was my 1st nude shoot with a male model and he put my mind at ease from the start. Darren is not only a true professional but a gentlemen which in this day and age is very hard to find. Can't recommend highly enough!

ManCave

I had the pleasure of welcoming Daz back to the ManCave for the second time recently. Repeat visits say it all, Daz is a fabulous talent to work with. On this occasion teaming up with PP model Golden Ivory. The pair were up for a 'messy' experimental clay duo shoot. We had great fun during the session and Daz as always was a complete pro, more so when working alongside a nude female model. Very happy with results and Highly Recommeded.

Gavinski

Darren travelled over to mine for a shoot at the weekend. Great communication from the start and he worked well with my ideas and did his own research too. We had a good laugh on the shoot and got some great shots. Darren is very easy to work with – he turned up fully prepared and is friendly and professional. Highly recommended! Thanks Daz :)

Had a shoot with Daz a couple of days ago, and I have already given his name to a couple of other photographers. Communication was spot on from day one. He arrived on time and brought with him a plenty of outfits and accessories. During the shoot, he posed well, looked great, was happy to go with any idea I threw his way, and even suggested some great ideas himself. A lot of the ideas involved playing different characters, and Daz nailed every one of them. NAILED IT! :) I couldn't be happier with the results. He's a really nice guy, easy to get on, and is a good laugh. I really hope we get to work together again soon.

Darren is a super nice guy, very easy going and very easy to get along with, he is very keen and enjoys what he does and brings great ideas and enthusiasm to the shoot.

Darren has a great look and is very versatile, he has the ability to give great poses and also to be posed, which was great when shooting for composite images where being moulded into the right pose for the scene is required, Darren just knows the look that is needed!

Darren gave me a lot of great looks and I strongly recommend shooting him, I can't say enough good things about this guy!

VanEyke

Had the chance to take some images of Darren on a couple-shoot with Cameranova. Darren is an absolute great model, very innovative, poses easily and came well prepared for the shoot. He went along with all the mad ideas we came up with and did some awesome art nude poses for me. Can only highly recommend Darren and hope to work with soon again. Thanks for being so patient with me :) x

Akasha

Had the pleasure of meeting Darren for a shoot with myself and Cameranova. Darren has a great body and...hypnotic eyes :) He is extremely flexible and works very hard. He will not tire till everybody is happy with the results.

Darren is a real inspiration to work with and a very lovely and kind guy. He has a brilliant sense of humour and we had trouble to keep a straight face at times.

He kept his calm and was the perfect gentleman throughout our art nude and erotic shoots. Absolutely enjoyed shooting with him and hope to do that again. Thanks for a great shoot. Akasha x

Enjoyed my second location shoot with Darren, continuing where we left off exploring Bristol central waterways and dockside in the evening. Darren is friendly and very easy to get on with, a good communicator and has a clear idea about the style of image he is searching for. He's very patient and receptive to my directions even when I'm shouting at him incoherently from behind my camera at a distance of 10 metres :D On both shoots we have been able to achieve what we set out to do and we're both pleased with the results. Darren has traveled long distances to shoot with me and I really appreciate that. Thank you Darren - Highly recommended !

Regardez-Moi

Top bloke. Daz stayed with us while he was touring around the South West. We watched the end of the cup final, had a couple of beers and a curry, went down to the studio, he took his top off and we got some great pics. He's got a really good physique and photographs very well. We tried a few different things with lighting, and they pretty much all paid off. Nice lad too!

bokehliciousness

Darren contacted me about doing a shoot and to be honest I wasn't 100% sure as I hadn't done a shoot with a guy before. After working with Darren, I'm glad he did contact me and that we shot together.

Communication before and after has been excellent. He turned up well prepared, especially for the specific images we had discussed previously. He works hard to get the best out of shoot and is very patient whilst I was trying different set-ups. He's got a great attitude and he is very easy to get on with.

I can't recommend Darren highly enough :) Thanks

ManCave

I had a fabulous productive shoot with Darren & JodieEllen at the ManCave yesterday. Darren approached me some time ago regarding working together on a themed set with a female goddess. Darren was more than happy to do the background work whilst the techy stuff was left to me. The plan finally came together and we had a great time shooting a Roman themed session. Darren was extremely courteous & professional working alongside our Goddess Jodie. The two models soon relaxed and settled into us creating some amazing sculptural images. The poses were amazing. Were working again soon on a further project. Happily Recomend.

Jodie Ellen

I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Darren yesterday at Mancave studios.

Darren contacted me after and unfortunate turn of events, fortunately for me I ended up working with two very talented people.

Darren is very driven and puts all his effort into his work. Darren is a very structured man and can easily change to fit different roles.

Darren is very supportive and very gentlemanly.

I would happily work with Darren again and would highly recommend!!

CAMERANOVA

Had another great shoot with Darren on Saturday, he as always was totally reliable and professional and great fun to work with, a very friendly and down to earth bloke , we shot in an old castle and Darren was just the perfect male model for the shots we had in mind, all in all totally recommended thanks Daz :)

GreenBananas

Darren is a really brilliant model, he is naturally good at posing, with a great look, he has lovely skin, great eyes, and a tall, lean physique, which suits a range of styles and genres. Darren is fun and talkative, and was really communicative both before and during the shoot, telling me his ideas, and also interpreting his own.

Darren poses effortlessly, in a range of styles and has a very expressive face.

Darren is very expressive and creative, making the shoot productive and fun for both of us.

I really enjoyed working with Darren and really hope to work with him again. Highly recommended!

Darren is a really lovely guy. He is very passionate about what he is doing and genuinely seems to love the artistic and creative side of modeling. I had a really enjoyable shoot with him and together we created some fabulous images.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

Tony Browne

Darren traveled all the way to Bristol from Chester to shoot with Marcus Jake during the day and myself in the evening. He has bags of energy and great enthusiasm, both qualities I highly appreciate in a model ! Even onset of rain didn't faze him and we carried on regardless.

Ours was an experimental night shoot playing around with various lighting ideas and weird perspectives. Darren was well up for that and was very patient as I messed around with the setup. He's easy going and great to work with. All in all this was a fun evening and produced some interesting and pleasing results.

Darren's a great guy and an effective and creative male model - highly recommended !

Andy Green (GreenEye)

I had the fortune to shoot with Darren recently and must say he was an excellent model to work with.

Pre-shoot communication was very good and Darren travelled a long way on the day arriving ready for some serious makeup and for action as a gladiator an emperor and more.

He is easy to direct and get along with and he takes his modelling very seriously. With his quite distinct looks he will suit quite a range of ideas and genres. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any photographer. Thanks Darren.

Tatie

Had a fun shoot with Darren, lots of giggles on the set...great guy to work with, lovely personality, very professional and reliable. Would definitely work with him again, and I would happily recommend.

Thanks Daz. :)
