Doug deserves every award he has earned and more, I cannot compliment this man enough. Truly an honour to have worked with him; his creativity and genuine passion for photography means the images he took of me portray me in a way I didn't even know I was capable of. Cannot wait to see the final images and will leap at the opportunity to work with him again!

I had a brilliant ballet shoot with Doug! Pre communications were amazing, he let me know his ideas in advance so I knew exactly what we were doing and to bring. On the day he came with lots of ideas for poses. He was totally understanding about how difficult ballet is and he had great suggestions for how to get into some of the poses. He was great to chat with, and the time flew away! Overall had an amazing shoot - would definitely recommend Doug!

Doug and I shot together for the first time last week, at Natural Light Spaces. Doug's pre-shoot communications were great, he explained exactly what he was looking to achieve (a variety of art nude ballet poses, en point) and provided reference images and detailed discussion. On the shoot day he was early, very polite and friendly and conducted himself in a professional manner. He had brought print-outs of the poses he was particularly interested in which was handy. We got (nearly) all of them done as well :) Doug gave me time between sets to rest my toes and stay caffeinated, he was great to work with and I have no trouble recommending him :) We have booked in shoots 2 and 3 already! Thanks Doug!

Doug and I have shot together twice more since my initial reference. As with the first shoot his pre-shoot comms are great, he provides reference images for us to work from and so I can see in advance what he is after. He is considerate of my comfort when shooting en pointe and is receptive to my input on the images create - in fact he actively asks for it. He kindly gave me a print from our first shoot, which is now on my wall :) Still no problem recommending him to other models, and we are going to be shooting again in the Autumn :)

I had a shoot with Doug today , what a pleasure it was to be able to work with him! He made me feel very comfortable and is really easy going.

He seems to be very experienced in photography, especially in headshots.

I really enjoyed the shoot and I can't wait to see the images!

1000% recommend.

Thank you Doug for a fantastic shoot

What can I say about Doug? He is absolutely fantastic! Pre-shoot communication as spot on, he came to pick me up and we had a great shoot at a beautiful abandoned location near to me.

We shot a variety of outfits as well as nude and at all times, Doug was mindful of my comfort and safety- especially as it's been a cold and windy day, knowing the photographer has that in mind makes a huge amount of difference.

He was even kind enough to wait at a service station for my panicky self to collect the phone I left in his car. Haha!

Thankyou for a great shoot, Doug. :)

Had a lovely and relaxed shoot with Doug today - time flew by as we chatted away, I loved his sense of humour and found we had loads in common! Doug has a great eye for that perfect shot and is prepared to put lots of effort into making the vision come true - the pics at the back of the camera looked fantastic! Can't wait to work together again and very much recommend Doug to other models! All the best!

Had another shoot with Doug yesterday, at my home. I wouldn't normally host home shoots, but have no worries about Doug, as he's a great chap and has many positive references.

Doug was on time, brought many ideas, and was as friendly and likeable as ever - adding some easy conversation and good humour to the shoot.

I look forward to seeing the results.

Highly recommended!

Thank you Doug 😊

Had my first shoot with Doug today, which was thoroughly enjoyable.

Doug had a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve - providing inspirational images and a clear brief.

Doug is an absolute delight to work with - friendly, professional, and displaying a great sense of humour.

Highly recommended - I look forward to seeing the results, and hope to work with Doug again.

Many thanks,

Just had an absolutely brilliant home shoot with Doug

He's a lovely man and knows exactly what he wants from a shoot. He was professional and considerate throughout allowing me have an input into outfit choice and pose preference. I enjoyed the shoot and I would recommend Doug to other models.

Also malcolm dougs friend came to my house for the last hour he had the camera and was awesome. He captured some great images. I would gladly shoot with them both again in the future and I cant wait to see some images xx

Doug was a gent through out the shoot and was friendly and a pleasure to work with... I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the finished images.

I hope to work with Doug again in the future and highly recommend him to all :)

Thanks for a great shoot

I enjoyed shooting with Doug recently at his home, making good use of his place to create some lovely images. I found him very friendly and welcoming and easy to get on with, and would be very happy to work with him again! Thanks Doug! :-)

Had my second shoot with Doug today and it was just as enjoyable as the first!

He turned up on time (he was actually a little early) ready to go. He had some mood boards with him and knew exactly what type of images he wanted to create.

He's very laid back, easy to get along with and professional throughout our shoots :) Cant wait to work with him again!

Definitely recommended by me!

We had a lovely shoot a few days ago, he arrived on time with a few moodboards and great ideas. The communication was good and he knew what he wanted to achieve, gave clear directions and took lovely photos. Recommended :)

We had a short shoot at my home, Doug is a lovely person, full of great ideas and made a great use of the limited space I have. He arrived on time with moodboards, clear ideas, had a quick chat about what he wants to achieve and gave good directions. Recommended :)

Voltaic Vixen

Absolutely lovely guy, artistic, creative and a real gentleman.

Doug came to shoot with me for the first time at my home.

Arrived early, prepared with a mood board of ideas and fully explained what he wanted over a cup of tea before we started.

I felt very relaxed the whole time, direction was great and easy to follow.

The images I saw on the back of the camera were stunning and my bum looked great so 5 star from me! :p

Highly recommended and I would certainly work with him again! :)

Thank you Doug,

Speak soon!

Had my first shoot with Doug today,

Doug is a lovely gentleman, made me feel comfortable straight away, knew what he wanted from the shoot, came prepared with images and poses for me to try.

We was very understanding of me not being able to do certain poses, had a great time lots of laughs.

Hopefully we achieved the images he wanted,

Was very understanding of the location and having to be covered when we wasn't shooting,

Can't wait for my next shoot,

100% recommended.

I had my first shoot with Doug on Tuesday. Doug is a pleasure to work with and made me feel at ease. We had a coffee and chat about the shoot before hand which help the shoot progress in the right way. We got some lovely images and I look forward to seeing them. Thanks again for a great shoot Doug

I have shot with Doug 4-5 times now (I think!) and although each shoot has been relatively short we have always managed to achieve our goals and walk away with some lovely images.

It's good to have a focus for the time and Doug always comes prepared- inspiration images and books which makes my life easier.

I hope to work with Doug again on his projects and RPS submissions. Thank you Doug! :)

Had my first shoot today with Doug at Solo Studios, and what a fab shoot it was. Doug picked me up from my home and dropped me back after, he's fun and very professional and we got some stunning Images :)

Doug is a great photographer, highly recommended and we are already talking about our next shoot. Thanks again, Scarlet :) x
