I shot with Darren at Visions the Venue and am so glad I did! He was fantastic with his camera angles, composition, lighting, and also had a brilliant tips and tricks to share with us throughout!

I really enjoyed the shoot, and can't wait to shoot with him again. He is super friendly, chatty, and creative as hell. You've gotta shoot with him or you're missing out 😉

Very highly recommended!

Visions The Venue

Darren came to visions the venue for a 3 hour slot with AJ the model this afternoon. After communications over the past month which were always spot on, it was nice to put a face to our chats. Darren was punctual even though he had travelled all the way from Kent!! His demeanour is one of total enthusiasm and fun and you feel instantly comfortable in his presence. He is the type of guy you could spend hours chatting with as he is so interesting to listen to regarding his photographic journey. We hope he returns often to see us albeit a bit of a trek for him.

So during my recent tour to Portsmouth I was lucky enough to have not 1 but 2 photoshoots with Darren during my recent tour. The second photoshoot was a brand and content shoot for latex capital in Fareham.

On the shoot day Darren kindly collected me from where I was staying for the tour and gave me a lift to the location. He was chatty and friendly and welcoming as he introduced me to the team at latex capital.

We did a mixture of both duos and solos during the shoot with the lovely Ashley from latex capital. Darren is a shooting machine he knows his lighting and angles and it was just go go go! For the duo’s wow Darren is amazing at direction and posing ideas. Especially as it was me and Ashley’s duo together if we were ever stuck for ideas Darren had something in mind and this really helped us on the shoot.

This was such a fun and special day of my life filled with lots of laughter, happiness and memories as I posted in the most stunning and creative outfits for latex capital. I’m honestly so blessed for this opportunity and Darren was the perfect photographer for this type of shoot.

Massive thanks to the incredible Darren and I thank him for putting up with me on both Friday and Saturday. 110% recommended! Just class. Darren is amazing.

Had a fabulous photoshoot with the lovely Darren during my recent modelling tour to Porsmouth at my hired apartment. Prior to shooting pre- communication was amazing and everything was super easy to plan and organise.

On the day of shooting Darren arrived promptly and we had a good chat and a catch up at the start. It had been two years since me and Darren’s previous shoot so there was lots to catch up on. After a break I’m so pleased that Darren is back shooting again.

Everything just flowed so well as we moved from classy lingerie to fashion, sheer, implied and latex. Darren really utilised the space and knows his stuff about lighting and unique and arty angles. Time flew by far too quickly as we had many chats and laughs while the same time creating so many phenomenal images.

Such an honour to shoot with Darren. More than recommended!!

Yesterday’s shoot with Darren was so good, despite my problems with personal life, he made sure i was happy and we really had a good time shooting! The results came out absolutely amazing from the photoshoot and i can’t think him enough for this opportunity, we share the same ideas (and music taste!). I’d really reccommend this cool guy! 🖤🖤🖤

So great to work with Darren again recently during my studio day at Burford Manor. I still can’t believe it’s been 5 years since we last shot, but it was as if it was just yesterday!

Such a great guy to work with, very respectful and professional but we also had a good laugh throughout and the shoot just flew by!!

Very highly recommend, you can tell he has a key eye for detail and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the photos!

Let’s not leave it as long next time ehh! :D

Had such a great shoot with Darren.

He was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. We got some cracking shots from our shoot and allowed me to post very freely and in between each set he allowed me to look back on camera. Look forward to seeing the editing images.

I would highly recommend him to any model and look forward to working with him again soon.

Had a lovely shoot with D Rowley Photography during my Studio day at the Asylum in Rochester.

This was my second shoot with the lovely Darren and as always everything went super smoothly from excellent organization and planning to the actual shoot day.

Darren arrived promptly and we were soon ready to shoot. We shot a variety of mostly latex and implied nude looks which I just loved. I’m just mad on latex and me and Darren shot in practically most of the latex I brought along. It was really good to get the opportunity to shoot in a few new pieces that I hadn’t shot in before.

Darren utilized the studio really well and we took a variety of different shots in different backgrounds and set ups. The shoot just flowed so well and Darren was really great at letting me try out some new poses and facial expressions.

Darren kindly brought along some towels for the shower shots which was such a cleaver and kind idea. Darren was super respectful during the implied shots and was really good at sticking to my levels and boundaries making sure I was comfortable ect. We had a good laugh and chat as well. I feel really comfortable shooting with Darren and he always puts me at ease.

110% recommended!!! What a fantastic shoot session!!

Had a great shoot with Dean during my Kent tour :) he is professional, very welcoming and easy and to work with. He gave me a lift and back to the station and he is very creative. He has great ideas and knows his lighting and angles very well. He also bought me lunch which was very nice of him. He looks after his models. Definitely recommended! Louisa :)

Having worked with Darren for many years I can safely say he is one of the best photographers you will ever have the chance to work with.

Darren is a fantastic photographer and the only thing I can praise to a higher level than his top notch equipment and photography skills would be his personality.

Finding someone like Darren is rare and with him being so personable it changes work into fun and always delivers content which exceeds expectations.

Being a highly professional, punctual, talented and creative person if you are on the fence at all of who to work with you cannot get better that Darren.

Met Darren for the first time this weekend at an event. I had seen Darren’s work previously and was aware he was a fantastic photographer who is clearly very talented. Darren was lovely upon approach, a great person to work with such a fun personality! Darren was also focused when shooting and knew what he wanted to achieve,it was wonderful to work with someone so passionate about their photography! I’d absolutely recommend shooting with Darren and I hope to again very soon!

I’ve been lucky enough to shoot with Darren a few times. He’s incredible! I love spending time with him, he’s a kind, easy going person who gives great direction and is insanely talented. If you get the opportunity to shoot with him, you simply must!

Jessika Blaze

I had my first shoot with Darren a while back after wanting to shoot with him for aaages, and it was so worth the wait!

Darren made me feel so comfortable throughout and was careful and respectful not to push boundaries. I'm an amateur model and Darren talked me through absolutely everything, giving me many tips and constructive feedback so that I can improve my skills.

He has a wonderful eye for lighting and shapes and the images we produced are stunning.

Cannot wait to work with him again :)

Another amazing and very easy shoot with Darren, this time at Burford Manor! Communications were excellent before hand, the shoot itself was very flexible and we adapted to what we collectively wanted to shoot on the day. Had a good laugh but also ran through all the sets and shot a lot, but the time flew by! Really cannot wait to shoot again, highly highly recommended!
