I'm not entirely sure how many times Dean and I have worked together now, but each and every time, whether remotely or in person, is a joy. Dean's communications are always spot on and his shoots are always relaxed with a very calm atmosphere which definitely helps to put me at ease and of course that means more free flowing posing!

I always love working with Dean and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others!

Thankyou for another great shoot!

2W Location

Well Dean keeps on coming back so we must be doing something right ;)

Dean's very enthusiastic, creative and professional in approach. He strikes up a great rapport with his model and this results in a very relaxed shoot with lots of laughter and the capture of some wonderful images.

We've no hesitation in recommending Dean and we're looking forward to his next visit already :)

I was super lucky to have a shoot booked with Dean at the ever beautiful Two Wei Location House, and even more lucky to shoot with him on my birthday! I don't typically celebrate but Dean went out of his way to surprise me with the most thoughtful gift and card that arrived during our shoot. So super special, I am truly blessed to have a friend like you Dean! ♥

Upon arrival Dean showed me around the grounds, Two Wei has an enormous amount of space to shoot, so unique and beautiful. Unfortunately for us it had been raining and was wet outside, so we didn't shoot the big red dress out there (hopefully next time!) but we did shoot in one of the stunning rooms. Time goes so fast when shooting with Dean. We loved this room and shot quite a lot in there, we did 4 changes and captured so many gorgeous pictures I can't wait to go through them and pick my favourites *heart eyes*

I'm just blown away by the efforts Dean goes to, to ensure we have a fabulous and productive shoot at a beautiful location, and always makes sure I get to and from the shoot safely. OH and not forgetting makes sure I am fed, treated me to a delishhh McD's breakfast on the way there :P yummy! Two Wei also treated us to apple crisps, apple cake and a big bag o'apples to take home :D

Thank you so much again Dean, you are the best of the best!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 1000000%!

Lotsa love and cake :D

I had my first great bodyscape remote shoot for Dean today. All pre-shoot communications were fast and very clear. He allowed me to get creative and pose freely.

It was a really great experience and fun to shoot for him. I really enjoyed creating images for Dean and I hope we created what he expected.

I definitely wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future!

DEAN IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Thank you so much for taking part in my eShoot!

Dean is absolutely bonkers and of course, was naturally the first to book onto my insane acroyoga / partner acrobatics event at AURA studio yesterday.

Sadly COVID became an issue and due to isolation requirements Dean was unable to be there in person (probably lucky for him otherwise I'd have had him flying rather than me!) With a bit or logistics arrangement with AURA and a lot of stress on my part, I finally figured a way for Dean to still attend the shoot virtually and he was so chill and enthusiastic about the whole thing that it made the entire event such a joy to run!

Even though he joined the event remotely, he certainly didn't fade into the background! He was his usual sassy, crazy self just this time shouting through a screen! Despite not being there in person he kept me laughing all day long and had such wonderfully infectious positivity about the whole thing I was so glad to have him join.

The shots created are genuinely mind blowing and I cannot wait to see the final results!!

Very highly recommended and I can't wait to take the mick out of him again in person :D

Zavod Studio UK

It was Dean's first time visiting Zavod even though I've lost count how many times we've actually worked together!

I might have previously mentioned that everytime I get to work with Dean, his work improves by a thousand miles. And this shoot was the same - I really loved what I've seen on BOC and even have received a few edits already.

Thank you for coming and visiting Zavod, I am looking forward to an opportunity of working with you here again.

100% recommend Dean.

I shot with Dean again remotely last week during my Devilishly Dark Halloween event.

As always the two hours flew by and we worked our way through loads of ideas in this time.

Really so chuffed with the results and thank you so much for letting me edit them too!

Until next time :)

Lovely to shoot with Dean at an underwater tank shoot organised by Nicole Rayner and Rachyy Model. He was really friendly, professional and enthusiastic, there were 6 photographers present and they all worked really well together with a fun atmosphere. He's sent some fab results too!! Hope to work with him again in the near future :-)

Rhianna Grey

I had an awesome remote shoot on my new autumnal boudoir set this month. Pre comms were spit on and I instantly found Dean to be polite, friendly and fun which helped in keeping the shoot relaxed and fun throughout. Thanks again dean for a fantastic shoot and I hope to work with you again sometime

Many thanks

Had a brilliant shoot with dean last week the communication beforehand was fantastic and he came up with some creative ideas when id post pictures of outfits i had and im so glad he did because the images turned out fantastic. Dean arrived early to the shoot and is a brilliant conversationalist, hes really chatty and funny which i find on a shoot is so important as it creates a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We shot around 9 outfits on a full day studio shoot including breaks and cups of tea which was really appriciated. Dean overall is a true gent who just has an amazing passion for creativity and photography. I look forward to working with him once again and i would definitely recommend for you to work with him!

I just want to say how amazing it was to spend a whole weekend shooting and partying with Dean in Manchester! He is so much fun!

First of all we have a great time karaokeing in the car. Dean book an absolutely fabulous airbnb for us to shoot in. We got some awesome shots! We enjoyed some wine and cheese on the balcony before heading out for dinner to The Ivy. WOW! What an incredible place! We dressed up all fancy and had a great night out.

We shot in the airbnb the next morning before checking out and heading to our next location, a Marriott Hotel. The lighting was absolutely stunning coming through the big windows (floor to ceiling) and a long entrance walkway we got some of my favourite shots there.

I love shooting with Dean, he gives me the freedom to choose what I want to wear and where I want to shoot, but also gives me creative input and direction.

His photography skills are amazing and he gets better and better every time we shoot. I am always so impressed with how Dean works with his disability. I find it hard enough to do things with both of my hands so how Dean can shoot all day with only one hand is just phenomenal.

I know how hard he works but makes it look totally effortless. He can get the angles and is willing to get into uncomfortable positions to get a great shot!

It's never a dull moment with Dean, he cracks me up with his witty humour and hilarious stories.

I am always looking forward to the next shoot.

If you haven't already, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking yourself in with this 10/10 photographer!

You will surely have fun and get some great shots and best of all, great memories.

Thank you so much for an amazing weekend Dean. Between us we had a tough weekend but you made it fun, enjoyable, memorable and soooo productive! I can't thank you enough.

Lotsa love!

Had the best shoot with Dean, fun and lovely as always we had free roam of a private estate which we were both so so excited to do and the ideas just flowed (well so well we didn't even get a chance to shoot them all!) I always love working with Dean, he's such a down to earth person and we always have good banter and lots of giggles. Loved playing with all the toys (drones and underwater cameras) Dean bought along and of course a chill in the hottub to finish off the shoot. Thanks so much for a great shoot Dean- one to remember!

I got to work with Dean at a recent Creativity Hub event. He was friendly and easy to work with and we got some great shots. I would happy work with him again on a longer shoot and hope I get to do so in future! :)

Highly recommended

Cariad Celis

Dean attended an event I helped host called 'Shadow of a Doubt' It was so awesome to finally work with Dean, as it turns out I have been a long time admirer of his work, so finally getting the chance to work and meet him made my day!

Dean is a truly talented individual and I just adore the images we got together. I am so pleased he booked on and from what I have seen on the back of the camera I honestly cant wait to see what he created at the event, I just know he had some amazing shots :)

Thank you for booking on and I really hope I get the chance to work with you again!

Highly recommended!!

Worked with Dean recently on the Shadow of a Doubt Event and I had the best time shooting with him. Clearly super experienced so we landed amazing shots within a matter of minutes. He’s got so many cool stories and such a chilled out banterous energy. Looking forward to the next shoot with Dean!

Summers Abroad

Dean came along to our ‘Shadow of a Doubt’ event cohosted with Cariad Celis, and stayed at the end of the day to enjoy some of our 1920’s soirée too :)

As always he fitted into the group really well and was a total pleasure to host! We always look forward to having him on our events and can’t wait til next time!

Dean is a true gem - one of the very few photographers and gentleman I would trust whole heartedly. His pre shoot communications are always excellent, yet he's a very relaxed person. He wants to take the time to get to know you as well as shoot gorgeous images, and that's a rarity. The images he produces will all models are gorgeous and clearly well thought out, he does his upmost to make the model feel comfortable and with me, he's certainly done that.

His photography ability is fantastic as are his edits, which I always enjoy seeing! I defiantly wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dean and look forward to our next planned shoot!

Thankyou for yet another fantastic shoot!

Dean has used my Studio a couple of times now, and will always be most welcome. He treats the Studio and model with great respect.

My third time shooting with Dean but first time outside of my studio days!

We shot at Hallam Mill Studio and I absolutely loved it. Dean has sorted the studio directly, had picked me up from the train station and on the way back gave me a lift all the way to Sheffield.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Dean is so lovely, responsive, organised and fun! I also love the fact that Dean takes feedback very well which meant we could really excel the shots... I had a blast!

Thank you for today ☺️ can't wait for our next shoot already.

All the best

Dean and I have done a few remote shoots now as well as in person, and each time has been a fantastic shoot. His pre shoot communications are excellent and very relaxed, arranging a shoot with Dean (in any capacity!) is always super easy to do. Dean's got a great eye for detail, never afraid to change his settings, nor any problems experimenting!

I truly love working with Dean, and we chat regularly about all manner of random things, I genuinely feel like I know Dean, and he's a truly kind hearted gentleman, who really goes out of his way to make the model feel relaxed and comfortable. He's polite and professional throughout and I always feel at ease straight away.

Dean's a truly lovely guy and I highly recommend working with him - either remotely or in person!

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!
