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

Darryl was an absolute pleasure to work with, professional, courteous and chatty. We shot a variety of styles and the images that I saw on the back of his camera looked really lovely. Highly recommended

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

I worked with Darryl at my home the other day and had such a blast! We have known each other for a few years now, so it was lovely to catch up!

Darryl is super easy to work with- very laid back, great company and easy to talk to! You could easily talk away half of the shoot if you are not careful (definitely a very endearing quality of the Welsh- half of my family are Welsh! :P ) Darryl is also respectful and kind to shoot with.

We whizzed through a variety of fashion to art nude shots in my home and it was a very enjoyable shoot. I loved the images and look forward to the uploads!

Thankyou Darryl and hope to see you soon, Helen x

2nd time working with Darryl again at far forest studios in Kidderminster.

Darryl turned up ready to shoot with a rage of great accessories. We braved the cold and got some beautiful outdoor shots before moving into the studio.

I can't wait to see what we created

Thanks Darryl:)

What an awesome guy Darryl is! From the moment of meeting him i knew the shoot would be a success. He came full of energy and ideas and was such an easy guy to get on with, chatting throughout the shoot and discussing ideas. We got through a great amount of sets in just a short period of time and im already looking forward to future shoots. He comes fully recommended by me it was a total pleasure to model for him :-) Thankyou for a fab shoot :-)

Miss Ruby💋

What a lovely guy!

Darryl arranged a shoot in advance and kept in contact providing ideas and detail on images he wanted to achieve. Darryl made me feel totally comfortable in his company from the start, he was very chatty and fun yet remained professional throughout. I was lucky enough for him to provide me with some amazing images captured on the shoot which he was equally pleased with. Darryl is a really lovely guy and I’d be happy to work with him again.

In fact we already have another shoot booked 😊
