So on Saturday 18th November I made my 4 hour journey from Camberley, Surrey to Grimsby to shoot with Dean. It was about a month that Dean and I started messaging eachother. I came across his portfolio and liked what I saw. So it was a case of arranging a date that we could work together and it happened on Saturday. Deans pre-comms were excellent from the start. He was prompt and sent me images of his studio which was wonderful. Two separate rooms with excellent lighting etc Dean and I shot for 5 hours straight pretty much. I brought various clothing so we had plenty of options. Dean was great and went with the flow allowing me to free pose with just a little guidance on a pose he wanted in particular. We had a chat and giggle while we shot and found him to be very friendly and pleasant. I felt totally relaxed with Dean though out and not felt uncomfortable once.

Dean was super with his knowledge of lighting etc Dean would show me on back of camera with what he captured and I was loving with what I saw. He is a very talented photographer that I would be very happy to travel the 4 hours again. Thanks again for a super shoot Dean and hopefully you have recovered from me running you ragged for 5 hours haha you were a star.

Definitely recommended 😊

I enjoyed a lovely latex inspired shoot with Dean.

Dean came very well prepared with outfits, lights and ideas.

He was great at giving specific advice and directions and came to the shoot with very clear ideas as to what he wanted to achieve, which I think we did!

Hope to work together again soon. Highly recommended

Best wishes

I arranged a couple of days of duo shooting with Dean over the festive period. I have wanted to learn alittle more on flash lighting set ups and found Dean to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Offering tips on lighting, posing your model and even on places to get cool gadgets.

Very skilled and talented photographer

I highly recommend

I had a fantastic double shoot with Dean yesterday!

I received the most professional direction from him that lead to such amazing results. Shooting together was lots of fun and he is very down to earth and friendly which made me come out of my shell and express myself completely.

I would highly recommend Dean if you're looking to get great results from a fun shoot.

I have shot with Dean countless times over the years and every time I come away with amazing shots. I should add that Dean is a very close friend whom I trust implicitly and this allows for limitless creativity.

Dean is amazing and so talented, he knows how to capture exactly the style of shots you want and is respectful and considerate.

I’ve already seen the photos from yesterday and can’t wait to start sharing them.

I would highly recommend 😊

I have shot with Dean countless times now, over a ten year period and I still see him as one of the absolute best. Dean works incredibly hard on shoots and when working with him you know you are going to get amazing results. He has a lot of talent and knowledge to get THE shot.

Dean is also a lovely guy and he has become a good friend. Work with him if you can, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend from me! :)

VERY friendly guy! It was my first ever shoot and I was ever so nervous but he gave me confidence and I'm so happy with the shots taken!

Lovely guy, lovely shoot and will hopefully shoot many more times in the future if he'll have me again.

I have worked with Dean twice now, about 2 years apart I think but Dean is well worth the wait!!

The communication before & after was great! We decided on 4 different outfit changes using varied backdrops, props & lighting which all worked really well with each theme :) - I even got to wear a lovely latex dress made by Black Sheep Latex!

It was very relaxed & Dean is a genuinely lovely guy to work with :) I have all the finished edits back already and there isn't one I don't like!

I will always highly recommend Dean ♥ Thank you!

Had a shoot with Dean at my place and it went brilliantly. He turned up on time with a variety of good shooting equipment and he was very friendly and easy to get on with. He is also a very talented photographer and editor and I can't wait to see the final image and show it off! I would 100% recommend.

I had my first shoot with Dean a couple of days ago and it was brilliant!!

Pre shoot coms were great and he turned up bang in time :)

The shoot was fun and relaxed, just how I like to work, and we fitted loads into the day. Dean was very accommodating in helping me out on a very personal theme in the playground shots, which turned out better than I had hoped!

I hope I get to work with Dean again in the not too distant future....highly recommended to anyone and everyone :)
