Wow Darren is amazing! He worked so well with myself, Hilaire and KarenR a true professional! Although I have limited experience of working with male models in close proximity Darren was encouraging and that really put me at ease.

His comms were great and he played all the roles in the set really well. He is really friendly too and there were no uneasy silences. A very genuine gentleman. I enjoyed watching him model with Karen between my sets as it was so inspiring and a great way to gain experience. Thanks for the experience. Would be great to shoot with you again. Would recommend!

Well I finally got to meet and shoot with the one and only Darren S. Amazing.

We were booked along with Ambrosia Vanette for a fun filled morning/afternoon studio shoot.

I knew the shoot would be a fun and a great success when i knew who I would be working with. It didn't disappoint and neither did Darren.

His posing ability and modelling skills are amazing. He certainly knows his stuff and comes highly recommended by me.

The pre-shoot communications from all parties were fantastic - definitely working with professionals here!

I certainly hope to be able to create some great images again in the future with Darren.

I had a great shoot with Darren last weekend. We started very early on a Sunday morning, but Darren arrived full of beans and ready to shoot. We were shooting on the (not so mean) streets of Oxford, in a 50s rat-pack style. Darren not only nailed the look from his own research, but also the poses and the attitude that I wanted in the images.

Darren is a great guy to work with - hardworking, funny and great at pulling off exactly the right pose at the right time. If you haven't worked with him before, book him now. I'll definitely be working with him again!

Had the pleasure of working with Darren last Friday and was really impressed by his work ethos.

Charming, funny totally prepared and with nothing being to much trouble.

He even came with his own props.

Really looking forward to our next collaboration .

Definitely a model worth to booking.

Worked with Darren on a Industrial Edgy shoot in Birmingham over the weekend. This was the first male model I had worked with and what a great guy to work with and added plenty of fantastic suggestions throughout the shoot, really patient and happy to try plenty of new ideas. Hope to work with again in the future.

I booked Darren for a photography workshop on location and was not disappointed. Darren had great pre shoot communication, arrived on time and came well armed with lots of different outfits which suited the shoot perfectly. Darren worked his socks off during the day, was a big hit with everyone on the shoot. Would work with him again in a flash. Book him if you want some class in your portfolio.

I recently worked with Darren, for the first time, on a duo art nude shoot. It was my first nude shoot with a male model so I was a bit nervous but Darren was easy to get along with from the moment I met him. I felt comfortable working with him and the shoot flew by, with lots of conversation and laughter. I highly recommend him to others and hope to work with him again :)

This was my second shoot with Darren and as he had travelled down to the area I was lucky to grab him for a couple of hours in the studio with Brunutty.

Darren is a real gentleman to work with and even though this was Brunutty's first nude B/G shoot his attention to her comfort was outstanding.

His coms are excellent and he is just so easy to shoot.

I fully recommend Darren to any photographer or model....

Today I met with Darren, Steen and Maria (photographer and assistant) for a shoot in 'sunny' Rhyl :)

Shooting with Darren was a great experience, we did a few sets that involved couples and a togetherness type of feel indoors and on location. Darren made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, he is very easy to talk to and has a very positive attitude.

I enjoyed working with Darren as not only is he a fantastic model but he has a great sense of humour too.

I highly recommend and would love to work with him again.

thanks

Stacey :)

Steen

I did my second and third shoot with Darren in Rhyl, Wales this week. The second day was a duo shot with Stacey Jane.

As last time, I very much like to work with Darren, he not only has a very pleasant and kind personality, he is also very good in delivering the perfect mood and attitude to anything that can be thrown at him: including walking around a wet hill in bushest to find the perfect location (that Darren had researched).

Darren was also fantastic, in providing support and help in the location research prior to the shoot; the shoot would not have been such a success without Darrens Support. :)

Darren have my ful and unconditional recommendation and I look very much forward to the next time.

Best regards

Steen ;)

Had a great shoot today with Darren, it was a wedding based shoot with another model. Darren brought a massive selection of suits and ties with him. Obviously he knows how to pose his portfolio will speak for itself but he did a great job today. Really good person to work with friendly and pleasant plus had a really good laugh with him and it was a great day all round.

Just at a first glance the images are spot on, and Darren is looking sharp and on que in all of them. Big thank you to Darren would definitely work with him again and is highly recommended by me

Darren is a gentleman with a friendly and easy going approach. He was professional to work with and pre communication was great as he kindly made the effort to introduce himself before the shoot. We had funny banter throughout the shoot between us including the photographer which made the shoot easy going and fun. I would defiantly recommend Darren as a model. He is adaptable, professional, kind and he can naturally model without direction.

So my first Male Model shoot for me. With Mr Darren S.

It had taken 2 years to get in the same place at the same time. What a fantastic guy to work with.

We did a beach/Sea shoot. On a cold Sunday afternoon.

To say I was a bit apprehensive is an understatement. But Darren is so laid back, we got some wonderful images. Great shoot with Fantastic Model.

Will I work with Darren again: Yes, to bloody right I will.

Do I recommend Darren: Without a doubt this Gentleman is a Top Guy!

Thank you so much Darren.

PoZers was privelidged to meet the fabulous Darren S this week for the very first time, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Darren has a fabulous sense of humour and really kept everyone laughing throughout the shoot. He arrived with a fabulous, smart wardrobe of varied clothing and he looked amazingly well presented in every set, with lovely clean, polished shoes. So nice to see a male model that really looks after his appearance and wardrobe to an exceptionally high standard. It really is not a surprise to see he has such a stunning portfolio and sooooooo many FPI's.... Darren was a lovely guy and I really can't recommend him highly enough to any studio, photographer, makeup artist, stylist or designer, he is a first class gentleman, model and all round funny guy who is a total dream to work with. I really hope he comes back to PoZers at some point in the future, it's great to have a fabulous male model through our doors, when our majority of models are ladies, so nice to see a male model,with such a fabulous portfolio, a rarity in this industry undoubtedly.

Worked with Darren on a shoot today with Kev (lightyear) and oh am I glad I did! Such a friendly guy, laid back and such great fun. He's very professional, but definately not boring. His movement through each pose rates his experience. Such a talented model. A lovely day. I hope that this isn't the last time I work with Darren. Don't hesitate to book him. It's definately worth it!!

Totally lost count of the number of shoots I've had with Daz but today as always was a complete joy. Daz is great fun and almost unique in his look and the number of bags of clothes he brings to a shoot. Totally awesome guy. Shoot any time. Cheers Kev :)

I was so excited about shooting with Darren, it was something I had wanted to do for MONTHS, but wanted to wait until I felt I had reached a good enough standard to do him the justice everyone else has. Plain and simple, he's just a hell of a nice guy, fabulous sense of humour, warm, open, easy going and very personable. Nothing was any trouble for him and he was kind and helpful with all my kit and props, a REAL gentleman. His physique is amazing although he doesn't use it in a dominate way in every shot, but when its needed he can produce amazing strong poses. OOoooft !

One of the things I like about him the most was he was patient and gave the whole shoot a calm and easy pace, I didn't feel rushed as he was excellent at just holding poses for as long as I needed, even in the cold wind on the beach we are shooting at. I came along to the shoot with a surprising prop but it didn't phase him and he got into character for me and produced some really great imagery. He's just a great person to be around, enormously likeable and kind, extremely relaxed and I would absolutely recommend him. I cant wait to work with him again, he left me feeling like Id know him for years and made a real friend, thats the kind of shoot that leaves you feeling on a real high. Massive thanks Darren, from me and Little D. ;-) x

Had a great shoot with Darren on Sunday. We did a beach shoot and Darren was excellent, working really hard to nail great shots - plus Darren was approachable, down to earth, fun and also professional. Highly recommended.

After a stalled attempt a month or so ago I finally got round to my re-arranged shoot with Darren.

With a very wide ranging mood board Darren arrived promptly and literally armed to the teeth with bags and suit carriers full of clothing choices.

We did some quick looks for stock and then moved onto more mood based portraiture. Darren was accommodating and seemed to instinctively know what I was after.

Really friendly and able to hold a conversation our two hours seemed to fly by and we have a range of really usable images as a result judging by the initial image export.

Happy to recommend Darren and no doubt we'll be working together again in the future.

I worked with Darren yesterday on a bridal workshop. Lovely guy and very easy to get along with, very professional and came bearing a selection of suits despite only needing one look. Would definitely recommend him!
