I had worked in London with Simon and he had come up North a few times to shoot back in the good old days

Well we met up we did a shoot we chatted we did lunch and it was such a lovely day and we live so close to each other.

We are both much older now but it was like we had never lost touch lovely guy

We have already talked about a 2nd shoot which will be faboulous and I would recomend Simon to any model he is a top guy

Lovely day we had until next time thank you again XX

Great first shoot with Simon. Simon responded to my casting call for available dates in January. Communication was excellent from the first message. My first time shooting a pin-up style, Simon was great at making me feel at ease and communicating what he needed from me to create some awesome images.

The time absolutely flew by, I really enjoyed my time working with Simon and look forward to any possible future shoots!

Highly recommended!! :)

I had my first shoot with D Staples today for his awesome teasing website. He was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. He did not push levels. It was a lot of fun. He has great studio and knows how to take clear images. He has accessories for models to use too. Looking forward to working with him again and I recommend him to other models.

Have shot with Simon countless of times over the years! We’ve shot so much I stopped writing references. From solos to duos and now a trio we have done it all.

Recently I had a trio shoot in Sudbury with Suzi Star organized by Simon. Prior to shooting a group chat was created which made it really easy for all three of us to chat to Simon and to discuss ideas and what to bring along ect. I once again I honestly had such a blast it was such a fun shoot and we all coordinated outfits and poses so well. It was such a lovely day.

Simon is such a lovely person and photographer he’s really professional, respectful and easy to talk to and work with. He’s really good at giving directions for those perfect leggy poses and knows how to get good images. I love his vintage style and getting those fantastic legs in seamed stockings.

Thanks for all the times you’ve booked me over the years Simon and I can’t wait to work with you again in 2022!!

Second shoot with Simon went just as well as the first. He is such a lovely person. We chatted lots and time flew by. He was happy to let me crack on with selecting outfits and with my posing but also doesn’t mind giving direction if it meant he could get a better shot! Really good to see you again Simon. See you for the next one in the New Year :)

We were pleased to welcome Simon to our studio today and we hope it will be the first of many.

Simon was the perfect guest. Timely, respectful, professional, courteous and above all a gentleman.

It was obvious he had a great rapport with the model which was a pleasure to see and we look forward to see the results.

All in all a perfect photographer.

Highly recommended to any studio or model.

It was a pleasure to shoot with Simon for the first time whilst he was in the area. He’s a lovely, genuine person to work with, I was comfortable at all times it was like working with someone I'd known years. The shoot itself was laid back but productive nonetheless. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon.

Thanks Bonnie

Had a great first shoot with Simon yesterday, he got a little lost (which isnt hard round here!) but once he turned up and took a breath, we got chatting. What a delight of a person!! Easy to work with, bounce ideas off and chat with.

He knew exactly what he needed from the shoot and I really hope we can work together again!

Cant wait to see the images!

Simon what can I say ! He is so much FUN !! I loved the shoot Simon gives great direction and loved doing different poses and facial expressions , he is so easy to work with and talk to and knows exactly what looks he wants to create . We discussed outfits beforehand so everything was fully prepped and time went so quickly would highly recommend any model to shoot with Simon he makes you feel at ease from the moment you met him and hope to work with him again .

Love working with Simon! He's such a friendly guy who gives excellent direction to the shots he wants /desires. We shot at an outside location and it was totally empty! Had a stroke of luck so we managed to create lots of images in the styles needed. The time flew by and we chatted lots! I'd highly recommend dsstaples to any model! He really is a true gent who instantly makes you feel comfortable. See you soon! :)

Shot with Dstapes too many times to count!

Wow what a fantastic photographer, he knows what he wants and is great at planning shoot themes. I love his unique twists and styles on vintage photography I haven't seen anything quite like it!

Dstapes is easy to work with and very respectful. He's also introduced me to some other great models on duo shoots who I have become very close with.

110% recommended a reliable and professional photographer!
