Dean and I had yet another amazing shoot, this time in person during my studio day at Kempston Studio. As before, Dean's pre shoot communications were great, expressing what he wanted to achieve before the shoot.

He arrived on time and we hit it off straight away, capturing some gorgeous shots as we went. Dean and I are good friends, so conversation easily flows and we didn't stop nattering the whole time.

We have such a good relationship now that we are in tune and Dean knows what I'm going to do next and I know what he's going to do next. He's polite, professional and super easy to get along with. Dean has such a relaxed vibe about him, that you just can't help but feel at ease in his presence. He's confident with his photography and doesn't hesitate to play with his settings if he needs to!

Its always a pleasure to work with him and I look forward to doing so again in the future!

Thankyou for another wonderful shoot!

I have worked with Dean many times, but our most recent venture was a trio remote shoot in Chamonix, France with Ashley Ashton, Antonia Jay and myself. His pre shoot communications leading up to the shoot were fantastic and he had a good idea of what he wanted to shoot ahead of time, but was happy for us to lead initially. Dean recommended some good outfit ideas, being mindful of what we packed as we flew out.

During the shoot he was friendly and approachable, happy to listen to any of our ideas as well as suggesting his own. I felt very comfortable in his presence and always enjoy working with him. Dean is confident with his photography, paying attention to the little things and happily adjusted his settings whenever the sunlight came out to play!

Thankyou for such a fabulous shoot, highly recommended!

I've worked with Dean quite a few times now so he popped over to my home for shoot. I have a new burnt orange sofa which I thought would look amazing for some photos and we were lucky to get some amazing sunshine pouring through the patio doors. Dean captured some really dramatic natural light photos. We did many different sets ending with some light rays through the blind boudoir style photos.

I'll be putting photos in my port from the shoot as I love what we got!

You never need too much of a plan with Dean as he also likes to get creative and try out different ideas. Always fun, chatty and enjoyable to work with.

Until next time!

I had another wonderful shoot with the lovely Dean, this time at aura studios along with another model, Evalana.

I always have such amazing shoots with Dean. He is full of ideas, so easy-going and really looks after his models. I enjoyed every minute of the shoot and it was so lovely to work alongside evalana too.

We shot a mixture of bridal portraits, duo bridal shots, normal portraits and silhouette duo poses.

Dean was so kind and bought me a coffee before the shoot and even pick me up and drive me home.

I highly recommend him to anybody as his enthusiasm, brilliant camera skills and all round positive vibes will ensure you have a fantastic shoot!

I had my first shoot with dean at a scorpion residence in Kettering. He arrived on time and we spent the first 20 minutes chatting and getting to know each other which helped put us both at ease. Dean is friendly and professional and it was lovely to shoot with him. Highly recommended

Great to have Dean shooting here recently with the lovely Kate Stardoll.

All comms and time keeping were as they should be and Dean is very easy to get along with and model seemed to enjoy shooting with him. Studio and facilities on offer were treated respectfully and I've already seen a few great looking images from the shoot.

Happy to fully recommend Dean to all and would like to see him return! Thank you - Lee

I had an amazing shoot with Dean while hosting a model studio day at Kempston Studio and hopefully we will get an opportunity to work together again one day! :)

Dean was a real pleasure to work with!! :) I was soooo happy to find out that he booked me at the studio..! We had been talking for a while about working together and Dean had always come across as friendly and sweet and that's exactly what he was like when we met! :)

Dean is such a lovely person to work with; so down to earth, funny, easy to talk to with sooo many interesting & entertaining stories to tell :D I truly enjoyed his stories and we definitely spent a good half of our time on chatting & laughing which I thoroughly enjoyed! Even though we had a fun time, we also managed to go through a few different sets and outfit changes and the results were truly beautiful! I was actually amazed that we were capable of achieving such results considering the amount of time we spent on talking.. :D

Thank you so much, Dean and I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future! :) ♥

Dean attended the Monika Lara Smith studio weekend and having met Monika previously Dean was instantly into some chat with his model.

In fact, the conversation between all 3 of us was flowing and fun and Dean managed somehow to get some good images in between his relaxed shoot time.

Really easy to recommend Dean and hope to see him back at the studio again soon.

Dean and I have worked together on quite a few occasions over the years, both remotely and in person, and each and every shoot is magical. On this occasion we shot remotely, a duo shoot with Ashley Ashton and myself in Ashley's home studio. Dean's pre shoot communications are always exquisite, he's very quick to respond to questions and is always happy to exchange ideas in advance.

During the shoot itself he was on time and prepared, even giving us an idea of outfits he'd like which was super helpful for our packing process!

He's polite and professional, and very friendly. Conversation always flows so easily and its just like working with a friend - I definitely consider him one.

Thankyou once again for another amazing shoot, I look forward to our next!

Highly recommended.

Had an absolutely incredible first shoot with Dean today and I am absolutely over the moon with the photoshoot and sets that we created he is honestly one of the nicest most creative warm person I've ever met and is just a joy to work with and I am looking forward to working together more.

Another remote shoot with Dean, again as part of a duo day with Ashley Ashton and as usual his communication was exceptional - top notch and he's perfectly happy to go with the flow. Dean is so relaxed and chilled throughout the shoot that the atmosphere is just fantastic.

He's a great photographer, retoucher and someone I'm glad to call a friend.

Thankyou for another fab shot!

This is my second remote shoot with Dean ,organised by Angel black.

Dean has shot me and angel duo remotely twice now , and i think the first time is better than the second.

I think it's always awkward to coordinate two models on a first shoot , especially if one is dead (me haha)and you've not shot with them before . Dean handled the shoot really well and I was well impressed with the picks .

It helps that angel has already established a working pattern with dave ,but the shoots seems to flow so naturally . It really is a lovely shoot with both of you .

I'd absolutely love to get out of location remotely with you both !

Happy to reccomend

I once again shot remotely with Dean, and like all of the other times he was a pleasure to work with! He was polite, professional and friendly from the offset. This remote shoot was a duo remote working with Ashley Ashton and he was more than happy to go with the flow and shoot what we recommended.

As always, he was a joy to work with and I look forward to the next one!

Had another amazing shoot with the lovely Dean and Miss Evalana, when they were visiting down south. it was such a lovely evening, catching up, chatting and shooting 🥰 the first time we’ve see. Each other again since Spain.

I’ll be leaving a separate reference for Ev, so this is for Dean. Thank you so much for such an awesome shoot, I’m so pleased with the shots we got. Can’t wait to shoot with you again! 😄

So happy to have finally met and work with Dean :)

Dean is so easy to work with, extremely kind and a great photographer.

Our shoot took place during the Wales weekend organised by Paul's studio and even though it was only 2 hours we produced so many good photographs!

Very highly recommended and hope to work together again soon :)
