Had a fabulous shoot with Doug recently. Our initial shoot had to be rescheduled due to the weather and throughout Doug was understanding and professional.

I am pleased to say that this professionalism translated onto the shoot itself where Doug made me feel at ease and was very respectful of my depleted energy levels that day.

We had a great time shooting in Bath, chatting, laughing and wandering through the parks in search of inspiration and got some wonderful shots to boot.

I would definitely recommend working with Doug and hope to do so again myself soon!

Had a fab shoot with Doug today,

We shot on location for 2 hours shooting fashion and portrait.

The whole time he was very considerate of my needs, made sure I was comfortable and makes you feel very safe from the get go. Pre-shoot communication was great, he provided me with all the information I needed and conveyed what he wanted to achieve out of the shoot really well. He gave clear direction whilst allowing me to 'do my thing' and as a result we've created some beautiful images together which I'm looking forward to seeing on a bigger screen :)

His work speaks for itself, very talented and lovely person with an eye for photography - looking forward to the next shoot!

Highly recommended to models of all levels and experience.

Thanks Again!

Dougie was an absolute blast to work with. Really enjoyed his company and ideas that he chose. Professional but super friendly at the same time. I would absolutely love to work with him again. Thinking of something period next time

I had my first shoot with Doug today. He was really lovely, put me right at ease.

Pre Comms were great and he was punctual and brought me a hot chocolate so a winner.

We shot in a bunch of different locations, he managed to make slightly gross areas look magic! On the back of the camera each image looks beautiful. Cannot wait for these edits!

Cannot wait to work with him again! Definitely recommend

Had my first photo shoot with Dougie and his partner Georgina last Sunday. They are both lovely and very friendly people. They picked a beautiful location and we worked through different outfits. They knew exactly what they were looking for, gave me directions and told me what they expected from each shot. I really enjoyed working with both and can't wait to see the images. Thank you guys, it was a pleasure working with you!

I shot with Dougie was the first time yesterday and it was great, a really relaxed feeling shoot that I think generated some exciting portraits.

Dougie is friendly, easy to talk to and laid back yet professional. He was very considerate of my needs as a model and kept checking in to make sure I had enough to drink and that the light wasn’t getting too much for my eyes - important on a location shoot on such a sunny day!

He allowed me to pose fairly freely and gave helpful direction when needed. We were working with manual lenses with a very narrow focus so he helpfully told me when he was actually taking each shot allowing me to relax while he made adjustments.

All in all a lovely shoot, fully recommended :)
