I did a guerrilla portrait shoot with Darren on Tuesday and spent the afternoon zipping about Glasgow looking for interesting light and locations. He was excellent to work with, communication before the shoot was excellent, he can pull a variety of great poses without direction and was great fun to hang out for a couple of hours. A total professional.

Darren is fantastic.

His pre-shoot communications were beyond reproach and he arrived early and very well prepared. He understood what I was aiming for and produced exactly what I envisioned, and more, without any need to be directed; and was able to offer plenty of creative input throughout the shoot.

Darren has real presence; a fantastically toned physique, chiselled cheek bones and an effortless masculinity that combine to make him an absolute joy to photograph. He's also a cool guy; friendly, funny and hard-working.

Highly recommended. Book him. You will not regret it.

Darren is the best. He stayed over for a couple of nights at mine and we threw a quick shoot together in between watching people eating 20 year old cakes on YouTube :)

Have to say, you couldn't hope for a better model, just such a natural and knows exactly how to get any images you have on your head, be it classy or crazy.

After the shoot we watched another guy on YouTube make cheap Poundland chargers blow up (bigclivedotcom),surreal :)

Top guy, totally recommended.

Worked with Darren alongside mamalade on a workshop in llanberis. Having not done much work with male models before, Darren was superb, no direction needed, he just knew exactly how to show off his amazing physique.

They both work very well together having a mutual trust in each other. I can highly recommend Darren, and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Another great shoot with Darren! I've shot with Darren twice before and this time it was on a workshop where Darren was modelling alongside Helen Wykes on a location shoot in north Wales.

Darren is always a pleasure to work with, friendly, professional and just great at his job. I know when I work with Darren the shoot is going to go well.

I highly recommend Darren, you definitely need to work with him if you get the chance and I look forward to our next shoot.

Had the pleasure of my first male model shoot with Darren as part of a weekend shooting organised by Marmalade in the slate quarries of Snowdonia. We had the opportunity to shoot a range of sets including solo art nude, duo art nude with Marmalade and dressed duo editorial shots. Darren is not only a consummate professional but a fun easy going guy to work with which made for a very enjoyable as well as productive day. Highly recommended and look forward to working together again.

What's else can I say, Darren is one of best male models by far around.. This was our second shoot together, and he nailed every shot! He's versatility and professionalism is by far the best I've seen. If your looking for a male model that won't let you down on any part of a shoot, Darren is your man! One hell of a model. Don't miss out!

I had a shoot with Darren last week and it was great to catch up and shoot together again.I absolutely love working with Darren,he is a true professional,but the nicest most easy going fun guy you could wish to meet.

He was keen to work to get the shots I wanted and up for anything creative, and has so many looks,expressions and poses that he can create fab images in so many genres.He comes with a huge and varied fashion and casual wardrobe,but didn't mind dressing up for shots as a spooky monk while I lit smoke grenades around him :) We had loads of tea and choccie biscuits along with lots of shooting and chatting and the time flew by.I am delighted to have lots of super images from the shoot.

I can't recommend Darren highly enough and look forward to working with him again.

Thanks for a fab shoot Darren :) x

Another amazing shoot with Darren, travelling across the Cotswolds, Wiltshire and into Berkshire for location shoots for advertising. Darren is always really professional and friendly. Always a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him.

I had been looking for a male model for my Art Nude Workshop for a while. Darren got in touch and my prayers were answered. Darren’s communication was very good and every point prior leading up to the shoot. On the day of the shoot Darren turned up in plenty of time so that we could chat about the day and go over any concerns he may have had.

When the students turned up Darren introduced himself and instantly built a friendly rapport with each student, making them all feel relaxed.

As for me, I could not have asked for anything more. Darren is a great guy to be around, superb sense of humour and all round nice guy. He made my job an easy one.

Darren is a true professional, listening to every instruction from the students and reacting accordingly.

I cant recommend Darren enough and I for one have found a male model I can actually work with. Looking forward to the next shoot/workshop.

Darren was booked as model for a male art nude workshop in Keynsham near Bristol.

He was a complete gentleman. He has a pleasant nature and is polite and courteous. Total professional.

Darren worked with the workshop organisers to make poses that worked well with the different lightings. He was also happy to listen to the workshop attendees and take new poses they suggested.

Darren's work helped make it a very sucessful workshop. We were very happy with the images we had taken.

I had the pleasure to shoot with Darren yesterday for my final major project shoot at University.

Darren's a very friendly person and very easy to get on with!

He did an outstanding job, he stayed very professional while also being relaxed on set. He also listened very well to direction.

He arrived early to the shoot and had done research before hand into the shoot which was helpful as my shoot was very specific. He really understood the importance of this shoot to me!

I would definitely recommend Darren and would love to work with him again!

Had another great shoot with Darren, this time it was for my aerial and satellite business. Darren was very professional as always dressed in our workwear and posing as an engineer with tools and equipment for our website. Got some excellent shots to use and will be using Darren again soon. Great work Darren, Thank you.

Darren is fantastic to work with- not only is he an excellent model (I don't think I saw a single duff shot!) and full of ideas and creativity, but he's so easy to get on with.

We shot a huge range of ideas and outfits with our photographer (Tim Bosworth) while having a lot of laughs, and the images in the back of the camera looked fantastic!!

I'd highly recommend Darren to photographers and as a co-model, and already plan to work together again. :)

Marc Chadwick

I had a great first shoot with Darren.

Darren's pre-shoot communication was excellent and he turned up on time and well prepared.

He is extremely friendly and easy to get along with and has a fantastic repertoire of poses, with which he moves between effortlessly.

I would highly recommend working with Darren, and if you've never shot with a male model before, Darren is definitely your man!

Thanks for a great shoot, and I hope I get to work with you again!

This was the first time I had worked with Darren in a studio shoot shared with Paul@WestFive. Darren was engaging, flexible and had brought several variations of outfit so we were able to capture a range of different looks during the session.

A pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

Paul@WestFive

This was a four hour studio shoot, shared with Kristin@WestFive.

The shoot was planned well in advance, with excellent comms and checking. Darren arrived promptly, with a well-arranged selection of outfits covering everything we had discussed and more.

Darren is highly versatile and moves fluidly through poses. Above all he is a knowledgeable professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

This was a Mad idea of mine, go up a Hill in North Wales on the 3rd February and do a Art-Nude shoot.

So Darren S was the man to go to, who could make the idea work!

Darren S was working with Model Marmalade (Helen Wykes) What a Cool pair the two are.

The rain and wind is blowing and we are posing shots with clothes on then very fast shooting images Nude all in the wind and rain.

I am over the Moon with Images we got and I can say Darren S is the hardiest working Model in the cold and Rain. You are Real Star Darren.

Recommend this Model if you are looking for Wonderful Art- Nude poses and a face that can show so much emotion in seconds.

Thank you so much Darren :-)

Holy Smokes, working with Darren is just awesome!

This was my second shoot with Darren, and both times I was impressed by his professionalism, talent, and warmth.

This time out, we had to wander around a bit in the centre of London to find the exact location. His patience and ability to see great spots to shoot made me feel able to focus on getting the images I was after. As soon as we found a location, he so quickly stepped into the frame, and made the magic that is Darren. In our time together today, I only had to make a few images to get exactly what I wanted, and we were free to explore so many other ideas. Darren is the master of that.

All the communication was perfect, the shooting was comfortable, focused, and extremely productive. And when you look at the attention to detail Darren brings to the shoot, you'll be grateful for having booked him.

I highly recommend Darren, and know that those of you who choose to work with him will be greatly rewarded.
