This is my third shoot with Darren who responded to a casting call. Worked again with KarenR at Zan Studio, Wigan.

As a model, Darren is totally reliable and professional. A good looking guy, physically fit and toned. He is able to achieve many different looks from gentle romantic to don't mess with me hard man. Given a brief for the shoot Darren will come prepared, with a range of outfits from super smooth Mr Bond, fo rough and ready street gang guy.

As a person, Darren is a quiet, pleasant man with a great sense of humour and a really fun character who will go out of his way to make your shoot a success. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Thanks Darren for a great day!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Darren again for the third time this week, when we were booked to model together by the lovely Robin for both an indoor and outdoor shoot.

The shoot went well all thanks to Robin's great planning and the shoot turned out to be a really fun and productive day.

Darren is really easy to work with and has a fabulous personality. His modelling skills are fantastic and I cannot recommend him enough.

I certainly hope to work with him again soon.

Had my second shoot this evening with Darren and again he is brilliant to work with!

He arrived bang on time, ready to shoot and with the outfits I asked him to bring. I was trying using off camera flash at night which is a new thing for me and he was more than patient while I messed about with settings. Darren poses without any guidance and is really positive and helpful with the images you are making.

Would highly recommend working with him and look forward to getting the chance to shoot with him again.

Thanks Darren.

Got to work with Darren again just today- this time with photographer Steen and his daughter.

The focus was on a commercial/ lifestyle theme and as always, Darren came totally prepared with bags full of outfits and props.

The time just flew by and like all the other times, Darren and I had such a blast and helped create some really cool shots.

One of the best male models on this site and someone I would now consider a really good friend. :)

Thank you, Darren- hope to see you again soon :)

Had a great shoot today with Darren, he's a really top guy and very professional to shoot with. Darren really looked great in his tuxedo and many people have commented on how good he looked with my furniture. If your after a male model with the Jason Statham sothisticated look the Darren's the guy. Thanks for a great shoot. Hope to work with you again soon.

I'd admired Darren's work for some time and finally had the pleasure of working with him together with the gorgeous Artemis Fauna on a Halloween themed shoot.

Darren was a complete joy to work with being very friendly and completely open to all ideas! Not only has he a great physique and personality but huge intelligence and completely wowed me with his ability to interpret all my half-baked ideas.

I can't recommend Darren highly enough and would love to work with him again - watch out Darren I've got you on my radar now.....!

I recently shot Darren on Artemis Fauna's Halloween themed event. Artemis and Darren made a fantastic team, sparked loads of ideas and were so much fun to work with.

This was the first time I had worked with Darren and he was awesome, loads of creative ideas to support the vampire theme, he also completely went for the props, including the monster morph suits which worked really well! Also the acting and character portrayal was very strong giving the overall shoot a real cinematic story theme, with many great expressions.

The time flew by and the images looked great. The Vampire theme was strong and we all worked

together to get it spot on. Also another really fun shoot.

Looking forward to hopefully working with Darren (and Artemis) again next year. Thank you, Darren!

Just had a fabulous two days shooting with Darren on the Halloween themed event at my place!

Darren was super! On time, professional, fun and had loads of props an outfits with him. In-between the hysterical laughing (my bad) we took so many stunning images and the time just flew by!!

Darren really gets stuck into the themes he is given which is great- especially for the Halloween genre! He has a great figure and is very animated/ has awesome facial expressions....That and the fact he is a super lovely guy...well, he ticks all the boxes!!

If you are thinking of booking Darren- but haven't yet....Get on with it! ;) ;) Highly recommended! :)

Yes it was that time of year again. Time to track down and "capture" the vampires and zombies that plague this sleepy Bedfordshire village. This year I would be ready for them!

Enjoyed my second Halloween event with Satanic Sarah and Demonic Darren - I stayed until after dark and live to tell the tale.

Darren S and Artemis are a "scream" to work with and we made great use of the amazing room sets, the coffin in particular was an amazing prop (thanks to Arvee). Another really enjoyable shoot, with lots a fun and laughter... even managed to take a few photos.

Thank you Darren, it was a fun and creative shoot and it was great to catch up with you again.

Looking forward to Halloween 2017.

Highly recommend (just don't let him bite you!)

I had an absolutely FAB shoot with Darren this week!

We had excellent pre shoot communication,and Darren arrived with tons of outfits,more in fact than most female models :) and props to suit every look.

This was my first shoot with a male model and I could'nt have chosen better than to shoot with Darren.

What an absolutely lovely guy he is !! So easy going and friendly, great fun ,patient interprets every genre with style and conviction,and his experience and professionalism are second to none!

Time flew by and I am delighted with the images we created.

I would highly recommend Darren to any photographer,if you don't work with him you are missing something special.

I had the pleasure of meeting Darren at the group shoot at Zan Studio - totally prepared to deliver would be a understatement. A really brilliant evening, Darren was so accommodating- pushing really hard to deliver the images I wanted - a great sense of humour and yet such a professional approach. Someone I would like to work with in the future and someone I really would recommend

Thanks for a superb evening Sir ".........

My second shoot with Darren today, both solo and working with KarenR.

Excellent pre-shoot communications, contributing fully to the shoot plans and ideas. Arrived early with a car full of kit, and although we needed to change our shoot schedule, Darren was totally unfazed and professional throughout. Great sense of humour, willing and able to help with props and setting up.

Patient and supportive when techy stuff went sideways we settled into what turned out to be an awesome and rewarding session.

Hard man, dancer, juggler, magician, nude art in a box (perfect muscle definition) romantic guy under the moon with his girl Darren played them all!

I cannot recommend Darren highly enough, and would suggest photographers both experienced and novice book him in at the first opportunity. In fact prior to leaving we were already discussing another project!

I was promised brilliant and Brilliant it what I got. I had Darren recommended to me by a very close model friend, she sang his praises so the shoot was sorted.

Darren is amazing...!

He arrived with the most extensive collection of clothes I have ever seen and helping him pack them away into his car is an art. This guy is just so professional, he poses effortlessly and nailed the looks we were after with ease. He has a fantastic toned and chiseled body and as you will read in his references comes with high recommendations.

Professional to the last, Communication was excellent and I will be trying my hardest to organize something again with Darren soon.

He was a star from minute one and has a cracking sense of humour.

All in all a joy to shoot and a wonderful Model....!

Thanks Darren for a great shoot .

All the best

I had the pleasure of shooting for a second time with the lovely and very talented Darren.

He really is a super guy.

On this occasion we were booked to shoot together with Hilaire in Wigan, where we covered a range of different styles and fun poses.

The shoot was fun and productive and Darren was superb in his ideas and his modelling ability.

Highly recommended. Thanks Darren.

I had the pleasure of meeting Darren during a workshop hosted by Studio Hire Plymouth, 'Lighting the male form'. I'd been out of the studio for a while and my experience working with male models was limited so I thought this would be a good learning experience. When I heard that Darren was modelling, I was made up as I'd been following his work since I joined PP.

Darren is a fabulous model, professional in every way with such a strong look that would suit many genres. Great physique, looks brilliant in a suit and poses effortlessly. I could see straight away that Darren needed very little direction with regards to posing and I was happy to let him do his own thing. However, he does interpret what the photographer requires rather well and this translates into producing very good images.

Darren is a very friendly, polite, and laid back individual who will get on with all creatives. He worked extremely hard without complaint and I am very happy with the images produced. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Darren and would very much like to work with him again in the future. Top of his game.

Great shoot today with Darren whilst on his northwest tour..

Working with KarenR and Ambrosia Vanette at Zan Studio, Wigan, I was fortunate to get three great models together for a group shoot.

Excellent communication prior and during the shoot we were able to work together to develop ideas for several very diverse sets prior to the session, from a Bond theme, urban street gang, to an Adam and Eve scene. Darren came prepared and was able to quickly adapt and portray the character for each set.

He is a great guy with a terrific personality, and was quickly able to develop a rapport with his coworkers for the day. We soon felt as if we had known each other for a lot longer than the few hours we had together.

I would highly recommend Darren and would look forward to working with him again in the future.
