I had a fun shoot with Darren a few days ago, I've never had a 6 hour shoot pass so pleasantly and easy going. He was respectful of my levels and made sure I was happy with the images, which made me feel comfortable and enthusiastic to shoot.

Darren clearly knew what he was doing and let me do my own thing too, providing direction where necessary which meant our 6 hour day flew by.

Recommended by me :)

Thank you for getting me this job!

I had such a productive shoot with Rowley.

Loved his ideas and we created some epic images.

Would love to work with him again soon.

Possibly under the sheet idea next 🤗, and thank you for making me feel comfortable.

Highly recommended

Had the joy of working with Darren today.

His communication was great beforehand and he turned up early. Darren was really friendly and easygoing but with great ideas and a creative eye.

Darren let me pose independently, aswell as giving his own suggestions and even bringing a mood board for ideas.

Looking at the back of the camera, I'm confident we got some amazing shots - and a good variety too!

Would highly recommend... and look forward to working with him again - thanks Darren :-)

I shot with Darren during MCM Comic con and it was one of the best shoots I’ve ever had, especially since I’ve been a big fan of his work for a long time. Darren knows his craft so well and was very communicative and professional. He created a very relaxed atmosphere and told me exactly what he wanted as well as acknowledging my own professionalism. The images he produced are stunning. I’m so looking forward to one day working with him again.

Second time I've shot with Darren, gives clear instruction makes you feel comfortable and easy to chat with. The time flew by! Would def work with him again.

Darren is the first professional photographer I have worked with and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I am new to modelling and had no clue on what I was doing but that didn't stop him from doing a great job. He was fun, friendly, patient and completely professional. I went with almost no confidence in myself or my body and walked away absolutely loving myself. It really helps that he knows how to frame the female body. We have worked together on two occasions now, and the second time was because the first time went so well I was desperate to work with him again! I am definitely looking forward to working with him more in the future.

Darren's work is topclass and aesthetic. Darren was very relaxed during the shoot, and facilitated the shoot in a professional manner. Any extra ideas I had during the shoot, Darren listened and applied. Overall, the shoot was a success and fun.

Had the best shoot with Darren at my studio weekend. I was at the Hacienda. Wow, we created some incredible images! This is my third time working with Darren so I've probably said it already, but he is a top photographer! Perfect with lighting and direction. He lets you do your thing, is open to ideas, and we generally have the most inspirational shoots. :)

I was honestly honored to have Darren attend a model day I was running yesterday. A very good photographer and expert in lighting I have looked up to his work since I started. Particularly as all my friends wouldn't stop talking about the amazing Darren Rowley lol

He is an absolute scholar and gent, his way of working with models and talking to them, his eye for details and posing are fantastic. I would happily recommend any model work with Darren if you get the chance.

Darren attended my model day yesterday. He came across as the nicest guy, he's got serious talent and helped keep my energy high after a long day of shooting. Lots of laughs and jokes I would definitely love to shoot with him again. Highly reccomended!

I was so happy to shoot with Darren again after so long! Always a pleasure working with Darren, always professional and most of all its always fun and productive! I have worked with Darren on a number of different shoots but this was the first big fashion brand catalogue shoot together so it was great to be shooting a totally new project with Darren. I was very chuffed to have be recommended by Darren to shoot for this brand and I am looking forward to our next collaborations together in the future! If you want to shoot with a talented, explosivly creative and professional photographer I highly recommend shooting with Darren!

I had my first shoot with Darren yesterday. He is such a great guy as he was always making sure I was comfortable , happy with the shots he took and just overall a genuinely nice guy! It's not everyday you meet a highly experienced photographer who respects and looks after the models safety, so for that he's a 10/10!

On our shoot we captured some great images! Darren is highly experienced with his camera and lighting and as you can tell from his portfolio the end result is outstanding!

I have all ready arranged lots more shoots with Darren for this year , so be sure to act quickly if you want to shoot with him 😉

I shot with Darren a couple of weeks ago and we had a really successful shoot. He is very competent and likes to chat while working which really puts the model at ease.

From what I could see from the back of the camera we came out with some really great pictures, I can't wait to see the final images!

Highly recommended I am looking forward to the next time we work together.

I had an amazing shoot with Darren - I adored this shoot! We created some amazing images and I enjoyed the process so much. He is a breeze to work with and he is so dedicated to shooting beautiful images. We had plenty of breaks and chances to warm up and I'm sure we could have shot for hours more. I've got another shoot booked in with him which I am looking forward to a lot :)

Darren was the first photographer I worked with in the studio back in 2013, he gave me excellent guidance that I remember and still use to this day. He gave great suggestions for poses and ideas which has given me the confidence to try different things. Darren is very experienced and always produces high quality work. Definitely Recommended!

Darren is one of the nicest photographers I've worked with.

He has great ideas, he's super easy to get on with and was just an absolute delight to work with.

I can highly recommend him to all models of any level as he can give great direction but also lets you do your own thing if you wish.

Thanks again for a really great shoot! Looking forward to seeing the images!!

I've known Darren for a few years now and have always admired his skills, and we've done some casual shoots before but recently had the first proper one. He's very friendly and flexible, open to new ideas and willing to either give direction or give free reign. Since half of our shoot was implied nude, he was very professional and respectful, he went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% comfortable during the shoot which is greatly appreciated. most importantly, the final images are spectacular! I can't wait for the next one!
