Daryl was the first photographer that I had the pleasure of shooting with on my South Wales tour in 2019. pre-communications were excellent, he kindly pickled me up from my hotel and off we went to Chepstow studio. Everything had been discussed beforehand and we managed to capture everything in the time that we had. The images looked fantastic and I found Darryl to be professional and respectful throughout. He then kindly dropped me back off at my hotel in Newport and as he was going to the same area as me the next morning, he also kindly offered to pick me up and take me up there before heading off to his shoot nearby.

Highly recommended by me and I hope to work with Darryl again soon.

Many thanks

I had another shoot with Darryl last month over at Curiosity studio! Ive known him many years now and always enjoy working with what seems like an old friend. He has come a long way with his photography and produced quality results which look amazing. Hes also really helpful with transport and a real good laugh on shoot. Highly recommended again!

Had a fantastic shoot with Darryl at Studio58 in Bristol. He is brilliant to work with and a real gentleman. I knew the shoot was a success as soon as I saw the images at the back of the camera. Thank you for a fabulous experience and the stunning edits!

Highly recommended.

I had my first ever shoot with Darryl during my recent tour to Gloucester. We met at Full moon studio in Lydney and shot there. He had brought with him a couple of garments which where made of chain mail which made me instantly exited to shoot. He was really laid back but also good at giving me direction when I needed it. He also always was showing me the BOC to show me what we where getting and he seemed just as pleased as me with the images we where getting. I would recommend him for a shoot to anyone. Thanks a lot for booking me and I hope we can do it again soon.

I had not 1 but 2 shoots with Darryl over the course of my trip to Bristol and what a pleasure it was!

I had previously worked with Darryl before so i knew what a gem he was and how fab it is working with him so i knew it would be a gooden. This time the first shoot was with second model Miss Ruby and an MUA beautywithin and the 4 of us came up with multiple ideas. Darryl put a lot of thought and efort into the outfits and came with them and executed them beautifully. He is a joy to be around and work with. The second half of the day he joined me and Chris Conway with another model Beth Graham for a creative beauty event. Here you got to see how well he also works within a group seting. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day with him and it flew by. Already looking forward to the next :-)

I had the pleasure of working with Darryl for the second time and again he captured some fabulous images! We went through a variety of themes in 4 hours and with the assistance of a fabulous MUA created great work. Darryl is very professional and passionate about his work yet chatty and bubbly, putting models at ease. I thoroughly recommend Darryl, he’s a star!

I had ano0ther shoot with Darryl and it was just as brilliant as the rest!

He is really excelling recently, he has a great eye for lighting and is experimental with angles and different poses and how he frames images.

He always gives me a disc with the images on, which I love and not any other photographer is kind enough to do so!

He kindly picked me up from the station and took me to Kevins, where we shot. He has a great sense of humour and is interesting to talk to, with no boring conversations and lots of laughs.

Thanks Darryl, always a pleasure working together and see you at my Bristol studio day.

Enjoyed my shoot with Welsh Darryl whilst on my brief trip to Bristol, he greeted me with a big hug and we got working on a load of different sets!

During the shoot Darryl made sure I had enough breaks, made me tea, I found him a real joy to be a round and I recommend him to all!

Thank you

Worked with Darryl for the first time in a little while at the weekend when he booked myself and Carla Monaco on our Christmas duo weekender!

We spent two hours chatting a lot, working through a few different ideas and taking some really nice lingerie images!

Darryl is quite a character and had Carla and myself in stitches quite a few times in the two hours-!!

Thank you Darryl, hope to work with you again in early 2019 :)

Second shoot with Daryl and he didn’t disappoint! He was kind enough to pick me up and drop me home with plenty of chit chat on the way! No awkward silence or bad images with this guy! He puts a lot of effort in to making the lighting perfect so little or no editing is needed!!!! What more could a girl ask for?? Thank you Daryl you gave me the boost I needed
