Great shoot with Des at his lovely home. Pre shoot communications were great, he had also booked a second photographer to help with lighting and a makeup artist which he told me about in advance. We worked at a lovely relaxed pace with lots of tea and breaks which are always appreciated. He had lots of ideas and inspiration photos which were great to work from. I would definitely recommend working with him :)

I had an amazing experience with Des. He is fun, relaxed and very kind.

He is proffesional and calm to work and be around with.

He has a natural way of appreciating beauty and a fine taste for art.

I would highly recommend to work with him, he is generous and take care of the models, feed them well and he has a nice home,

which is a high plus from me!

I look forward to the next time we will work together :)

It was lovely shooting with Des!

He knows some truly stunning, quiet outdoor locations- it's always a pleasure shooting in beautiful scenery, and I had a lot of fun. He also drove me past some beautiful locations in the car, it was lovely having a personal tour of Wicklow. He brought a warm coat for in between shooting.

Des flew me over, and helped me out a lot by letting me stay at his house for a few nights. He was a great host, always making sure I was fed and comfortable. He also gave me a lot of advice and practical tips. His house is lovely, and the guest room is very comfortable.

Many thanks for everything! I would recommend Des!

I had the pleasure of working with Des today in Dublin after nearly a year of communications we finally managed to sort a shoot!

Pre comms were fluid, efficient and had a clear path of the day that would be ahead of us.

I arrived on an early flight from London and we kicked off straight away. We did several sets on location and I was in awe of the places Des had taken me too. Some truly stunning Irish nature and an opportunity for me to shoot somewhere completely different that my portfolio doesn't have. I had such a lovely time exploring the beautiful greenery just a stones throw from the city with a brilliant tour guide ;)

We then headed back and did some natural light home studio sets.

Overall a highly productive, creative and inspiring day. Des is so easy to talk to, friendly, professional and captures some very beautiful images with some gorgeous lighting.

Many many thanks and I can't wait to come back next year. Highly recommended.

A fab second shoot with Des! This time went just as well as the last, if not even better actually. He booked me for the full day and we where shooting around his home. There are lots of lovely natural light in his home so the images where just lovely. I also stayed with Des for a couple nights. Me and him get along well and he always looks after me. I am happy with how it went and would recommend him for sure. Thanks a lot for a great shoot. I hope we can do it again sometime.

I cannot recommend shooting with des enough. I had a wonderful first trip over to Dublin for our first shoot together and I absolutely loved the whole experience. Looking at the photos Des captured I couldn’t have been happier with the results and feel we got a fantastic initial range of images and am also very pleased we started to discuss booking another shoot. During my trip Des very kindly hosted me at his home and looked after me perfectly during my stay. If you can I would certainly say do work with Des!

Such a nice guy :)

Had a lovely day shooting with Des. Des captures the stunning essence of a woman beautifully. The shoot was laid back with lots of interesting conversation. Would recommend:)

I shot with Des this week, after he contacted me for a shoot. I had a great time with Des shooting. He has quite a lovely home, which has excellent natural lighting in many rooms. A lovely garden for some of our shots too. Des is an absolute gentleman, which made me feel completely at ease.

Overall excellent experience and i will look forward to working with him again soon.

Thanks,

Emily

Des contacted me a few months ago asking if I would like to come to Dublin to shoot with him, he specifically wanted to do art nude themes and as soon as I saw his high standard of work I knew I wanted to take him up on his offer! It was agreed I'd stay with him for a few days in spring, my partner was welcomed to stay too which was lovely. Des paid all my travel and for my time shooting, we worked fast and covered many poses and experimented with the varying natural light in his garden and conservatory. He communicates what he wants pose wise with ease and we quickly got to know each others shooting styles. On our last day we went into the Wicklow hills, and got some daring yet beautiful nude shots on a quiet country road surrounded by stunning scenery. I would work with him again in a heartbeat, as he is such an easy going, talented chap! Plus the photos ive seen so far are first rate, looking forward to seeing more soon. Highly recommended.

Another lovely shoot with Des recently! Feels like shooting with a friend, weve been working together for many years. Always produces beautiful results and always looks after you very well!

I was given the incredible opportunity to work with this gentleman and it was an absolute delight, He showed me some of the images that he and taken on the day and they were beautiful! He is a lovely man with a creative and talented eye for photography. We did a photoshoot at his home which is beautiful! Through the whole shoot he was very reassuring and continuously checked that I was comfortable, and warm enough. He is an amazing guy and a pleasure to work with I truly hope that I get the opportunity to work with him again the future as he had so many amazing ideas for photoshoots, I hope to be given the opportunity to help create some more beautiful images. I also have to mention that the women that he had do my make up was also a lovely women and she did an great job with my make up.

It was my first time in Ireland and my first time working with Des. I also stayed with him for a couple of nights during my tour. Whilst staying with him I felt totally comfortable and safe. He is great company too. As for the shoot, Im blown away by what we achieved. We shot half the shoot in his home and then the other half out on location. What I was seeing on the BOC was just lovely. I really enjoyed staying and working with him and would love to again soon.

Ecce!

I had a great time shooting with Des last week during my first trip to Ireland. He very kindly gave me advice on public transport and picked me up from the station. He had hired a lovely MUA who also doubled as his assistant, and after some sets at his home, we went to a beautiful secluded location for some more art nude shots and portraits.

Des is very kind and easy-going, the shoot was relaxed, and the images looked lovely. I would love to work with him again and highly recommend him to other models.

I had what will hopefully be the first of many shoots with Des earlier this week and it was a really fun experience.

I travelled to Dublin especially for the shoot with a friend and stayed with Des in his home, it was a nice relaxed shoot and I absolutely loved the images!

I definitely hope to work with Des again and if you have the opportunity recommend you do the same.
