I had my first shoot with Darryl today, it was totally wicked! (We met up to discuss shooting with the chain dresses)

We went to a lovely location with Ron, it was so nice.

I have been in awe of these dresses for a while and very excited to work with them. An through discussion we talked about this very alternative perception to these dresses.

I resently dyed My hair yellow and it just worked so perfectly. It just looked so amazing!

It was really lovely to working with him and very excited for the next adventure 😀

Another awesome shoot with Darryl. Very easy to work with and his passion for photography really shines through. He is excellent when giving direction as he knows what will work. Darryl takes some amazing shots and always shows back of cam which I really appreciate during any shoot.

He is very easy to talk to and the shoot flowed smoothly and went really quick. Darryl brought a fantastic handmade dress to use for a set of shots too which looked amazing!

I look forward to working with him again, hopefully in the very near future :)

I had my first shoot with Darryl at Kev’s Mad House, and it was a great shoot!

Darryl was very friendly and made me feel comfortable around him. The atmosphere was relaxed and we chatted away while shooting. He was professional and has a creative eye. We came up with amazing ideas together and shot such a variety of sets!

I highly recommend shooting with Darryl, I know for sure I would love to be shooting with him again!

I had another lovely shoot with Darryl yesterday when he booked me for a Vintage/Debbie Harry themed shoot at Far Forest Studio.

It was lovely to catch up with him during the shoot and the 3 hours flew by. The images we managed to create looked absolutely amazing back of camera. Darryl likes to experiment with lighting and this led to some unusual but beautiful effects. Darryl also brought along an amazing prop, a beautiful electric guitar, which suited the second theme perfectly.

I’d recommend Darryl to other models and I’m looking forward to our next shoot 😊 Thanks so much Darryl!

I just finished my first fantastic shoot with Darryl. It was lovely to meet him. We shoot in the Mad house studio in South Wales. It was really great place with so many different props.

Our shoot was based around Easter and warrior theme and what fun it was - I felt like we really connected well and seemed to bounce off each other with ideas. Darryl brought some fab outfits to the shoot and they worked well with the shoot. I also brought lots of cool bits - which seemed to pop well infront of the camera.

The theme was so fun to do and I throughly enjoyed the shoot - not only did I feel really creatively inspired by Darryl - but really enjoyed his company.

I recommend him to any model and I hope to work with him again in the near future.

Thank you so much for really fantastic shoot!

What a fantastic first shoot!

Darryl booked onto a studio day at the Mad House during my trip to Wales and I am so glad he did.

He is very easy going and down to earth and the 4 hours we had flew by! I felt comfortable throughout and he was extremely respectful.

We worked through a range of sets and the images looked stunning. Darryl is a creative photographer who thinks 'outside the box' - refreshing to work with indeed!

Highly recommended and would definitely love to work together again in the future.

Many thanks!

Had a fabulous shoot with Darryl. As part of my tour in Cardiff.

He was so easy to work with and we built a rapport pretty quickly! After he generously offered me a ride to the studio

During the shoot he was Happy to let me free pose. But also there with ideas of his own! He was very relaxed and laid back in his approach but still remained professional throughout!

Highly recommend to any level of model. I look forward to working with him again! And Already discussing a possible second shoot!

Thanks for a fab shoot

It was fantastic to work with Daryl recently at The Mad House Studio.

Daryl picked me up at Newport station to make my journey easier.

The shoot at the Mad House was excellent, did some sets using the studio space with lots of fun outfits and props and then did some lovely budoir and nude art

I really enjoyed working with Daryl he's professional and easy going.

I would definitely work again with him.

It was fantastic to work with Daryl again recently at The Mad House Studio. Daryl very kindly picked me up at Newport station to make my journey easier and we got to chat and catch up on quite a few years!

The shoot at the Mad House was excellent. We first did some sets using the studio space with lots of fun outfits and props and then did some lovely boudoir shots using natural light.

I really enjoyed working with Daryl again and I’m looking forward to our next shoot :)

First shoot with Daryl at Full Moon Studio and hopefully not the last!

Daryl instantly made me feel calm and relaxed, he gave good direction as and when needed and was really respectful, we covered fashion to art nude, got on really well and chatted freely throughout. Daryl had some good ideas and gave me confidence to try a few different poses in styles slightly different to what I've covered before! Time zoomed by! Thankyou! Hopefully see you soon!

I had an amazing shoot with Daryl at The Mad House studio in Ebbw Vale. My first trip to Wales and thanks to Daryl, it won’t be my last!

Daryl is a lovely person and made me feel really comfortable during our shoot together.

We used the entire house; studio, boudoir and shower. We even made sure the giant stuffed dog got a cameo in our shoot! 🐶

I can’t wait to see the final images and hopefully shoot with him again on my next trip to Wales 🥰

I shot with Darryl for the first time during my studio day at Full Moon Studio, in Lyndey.

Pre comms were great and he let me know what sort of thing he wanted me to bring before the shoot!

He was laid back and easy to work with, very clear with direction and what poses he wanted. We even shot with a motorbike, which was very cool!

He had some really creative ideas and we got some great shots from what I saw back of the camera.

I look forward to working with Darryl again, as we already have a shoot booked in for the new year! :)

First ever shoot and I was so so nervous. Daryl made me feel comfortable and by the end I was loving it and Daryl said I did well for my first time. Can't thank him enough for helping me with my confidence so quickly

I loved my shoot with Darryl, I had the best experience. We did a halloween shoot with loads of props and ideas. I found it really fun and interesting. Darryl always has different ideas which makes the shoot a whole new experience. I will definitely be working with him again in future.

sophmarie

This was my second shoot with Darryl and what an amazing shoot it was at far forest studio. Darryl had lots of ideas which we discussed in advance so I knew what was expected of the shoot, so Pre comms were excellent.

It is always good fun working with him & is always respectful and professional throughout the photoshoot.

4 hours always flew by which is always a good sign! We shot a variety of images using inside and outside space. I was always shown back of the camera images as we went along. Pleased with the images we got! Already been sent the Dropbox link.

Darryl was one of the first photographers I had arranged a shoot with when I first started out in this industry a few years ago. Upon meeting him/shooting with him for the first time he insisted I brought someone with me in order for me to feel more comfortable (my mum was that someone) at our shoot, which made me feel very reassured. Our shoot was great. Darryl was very happy to just go with the flow, work at my own pace and guided me throughout.

Fast forward a few years and I have shot with Daryl on several occasions. He is one of the photographers that I feel most comfortable with and respect a lot.

Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Darryl should definitely take it up and give it a go, whether your new to the industry or already a highly experienced model, because he is a lovely guy and a great photographer.

Had a lovely time shooting with Darryl during my studio day.

He was very easy to work with, very lovely and chatty, the time flew by!

He is full of great ideas for posing and lighting and isn't afraid to try things out.

Definitely want to work with him again :)

Had an amazing shoot with Darryl in his friends home studio. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I felt at ease straight away! Had an amazing selection of outfits there which we used. In just 4 hours we got soooo many shots. So excited to see the outcome, highly recommend.
