It was my second time shooting with Duncan on the aboard photography trip that has just passed. I was really looking forward to working with Duncan again as the first time we shot together,we had a brilliant fun time!

Yet again Duncan was lovely to work with and very accommodating towards the models,bringing us water and making sure everything was fine! Duncan was amazing to shoot with,I love this photography and I was super excited about the ideas we came up with,I even got to shoot in his iconic dress after such a long time! I cannot wait to see the finished results!

Duncan is such a friendly person to be around and I would definitely recommend shooting with you! I really hope I do again soon!

I was lucky enough to have Duncan on the photography trip to Spain organised by Graham Gilbert. I have admired Duncan's work for a while so was absolutely thrilled at the prospect of working together - and boy did it not disappoint!

Absolutely blown away by the images I have seen so far (both back of the camera and edits!)

Not only is Duncan a fantastic photographer, he is also a lovely person. We had some great chats during the weeks "down time".

Completely recommended by me - and so looking forward to working together again soon!

The Factory

Duncan visited the studio last week and although I was not around to meet him this time, he as ever treated the space with respect and consideration and has again produced some lovely work.

I shot with Duncan for the first time on Saturday,I had seen Duncan’s beautiful work for a long time and I was eager to shoot with him.

Duncan has put a lot of thought into our shoot and had two incredible locations in mind! Firstly we worked at the Selfie Factory which was super fun,Duncan and myself both brought styling and we worked together really well to create super fun images in this location!

The second location was an ambitious idea from Duncan to shoot out in public,around London in one of my large gowns but it worked incredibly!

I had the best time shooting with Duncan,I am so grateful that he planned our shoot around these incredible locations. Throughout the shoot Duncan was very helpful,considerate and overall so lovely! I was so pleased we got to shoot together! Duncan has such beautiful work too,the images we got were amazing from what I’ve seen so far! I cannot wait to work with him again and I would definitely recommend shooting with him!

Had a studio shoot with Duncan and had a great time. He has such a good sense of humor, we had lots of laughs during the day!

He directed me well and showed me some new poses which were useful. I am very happy with the images we created and thankful that he asked me to do a shoot with him.

Would highly recommend 😊

After a long 2 years, we finally made it to Kefalonia Greece! And it was certainly worth the wait...

Duncan Invited me on a week long photography trip to Greece to shot and capture some beautiful images. I felt so honoured to be invited. I met Duncan in 2019 (I think) and we have shot a number of times. He’s become a good friend of mine through working together many many times. He’s one of the funniest, kindest but also one of the most talented photographers that I’ve worked with. Duncan also invited 3 lovely models who I will certainly be staying in contact with.

In Greece we shot a range of Fashion, swimwear, lingerie and portraits. Duncan was full of ideas but also happy to listen to my ideas too. I like to try and create photos with a story and Duncan was able to capture my ideas perfectly! I absolutely adored the BOC shots and I can’t wait to post so many of the images. Duncan chose some of the most beautiful locations which were so picturesque ✨

I had also mentioned to Duncan about possibly going on a boat trip in our free time and he went out of his was to organise this for all of us in the trip. We made friends with the captain and they took us out again on the last night for a sunset shoot.

We had such a laugh on this trip and created some of the most beautiful and amazing photos I’ve ever done. I am so grateful to have been apart of this experience and I hope that we get the opportunity to do something like this again ✨ we all made some amazing memories that will stay with me for a life time!!

I would highly recommend Duncan to anyone! X

I was lucky enough to be kindly invited by Duncan to my very first international modelling trip/shoot to Kefalonia, Greece, and it was everything and more that I could've wished for!

Duncan and a small group of girls spent a week in Greece shooting in the beautiful locations Kefalonia had to offer, as well as around the villa and pool (great choice by Duncan may I add).

We shot a range of levels including swim, fashion, lingerie and portraits, in which Duncan was highly organised and full of ideas, in which we worked as a team and created some astonishing images.

I was amazed by the BOC images from every shoot we did and just got more and more excited and pleased as the week went on🥰

Not only was this trip an amazing work trip and fabulous shoot, but Duncan also made us girls' trip one to remember and we made so many memories, the whole group got along so well and I have made some lovely friends for life! We spent a couple of the days out and about exploring and spending time laughing, drinking, eating and more! I couldn't recommend working with Duncan enough and we have already begun to plan a few more travelling trips in 2023🥳

Thank you again Duncan, I am beyond grateful for the trip and the memories made🤍

Well… what can I say about this wonderful not only photographer but person too. I just spent the most beautiful week away in Kefalonia Greece, with Duncan and 3 amazing models! To say I’m honoured to have been invited on this trip after only two shoots previously with Duncan would be a massive understatement!!!! 🥲

This is now our second shoot trip together and first arranged by Duncan, and I must say he absolutely smashed it, from the itinerary, locations, to the beautiful villa which doubled as a shoot location, the incredible boat trip we had, to the 3 incredible girls he brought along!!

Greece was my dream shoot location… because It means so much to me; I hold many many memories there and now thanks to Duncan, I’ve just made a whole lot more there.

Endless thanks to you Dunc! 🥹🙏🏼

Would 1000000% recommend!!!

Such a pleasure to work with Duncan in Spain and I know we had little time to shoot with how the schedule was but we already got some amazing images and I look forward to seeing them soon, very easy to work with, professional and had such a laugh too.

Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will get to work together again soon.

I shot with Duncan last week in Spain for the first time, he is amazing!!! We had captured so many beautiful shots, Duncan is so so lovely and he makes you feel so confident and at ease.

I was so excited to show mine and Duncan’s new work on my profile as he shot such beautiful images and I am so happy with the outcome - I would highly recommend Duncan to anyone and I can’t wait to shoot with him again.

Yet again I had an absolutely awesome time shooting with the lovely Duncan! We got to spend a week shooting in Spain, with a wonderful group of people.

Duncan is by far one of the funniest photographers I’ve ever worked with, he makes me laugh constantly, usually because I’m the brunt of the joke 🤣

I am absolutely blown away by the amazing images we created in Spain and I truly cannot wait for our next shoot adventure!!! 😁🇬🇷🏛☀️ #43days

100% would recommend Duncan to anyone thinking working with him! A genuinely love person and such a talented photographer 📸

First visit from Duncan this weekend and hopefully not his last. Duncan’s pre coms were good and he arrived on time with his model. He came across as a genuinely nice guy who works well with his model and was very respectful of the studio. Happy to recommend him.

I did my first ever shoot this weekend as a model, and Duncan was amazing, he made me feel comfortable on and off camera, was a great host and we shot in a lovely studio he works in! He was very patient with my nervousness and stiffness around the camera at first and the photos he produced even straight from the camera are amazing, I have no faults! Can’t wait to shoot again soon🥰

I was invited on a group trip to Calpe in Alicante for a week which after the pandemic I was more than happy to accept! Duncan was one of the photographers on the trip and he, alongside of Graham met me at Heathrow airport , after realising it was actually me they were meeting we got on our way. I really got on well with Duncan he is a true gentleman, very polite and professional - with just the right amount of humour, the last thing you need is someone overbearing or uptight especially when spending a week together.. Duncan was none of this, up for a laugh and a good time and ready to shoot when required. It was my first time meeting and working with him and after seeing his images and how he works, I had confidence in his skills so I went with the ideas as they came to get creative and I’m really happy with how they have come out.

He made my week away a great experience and memorable for good reasons, it was a great confidence boost for me and happy to have been there - can’t wait for next year to do it all over again! We are planning another shoot soon, if you get chance don’t hesitate you won’t be disappointed!☺️

I have officially lost count of how many times we have shot together...

I always enjoy shooting with Duncan. We both work incredibly well together to create some amazing images. Duncans ideas are brilliant. He knows his way around a camera and lighting very well. Duncan often brings items of clothing along from beautiful dresses to pretty lingerie. I always feel comfortable shooting with Duncan.

This time we shot at Burford Manor in Kent.

Until next time :)

As always it was a pleasure to shoot with Duncan. He brought so many new clothes and we got some amazing shots. Very professional and fun to work with as always!!

Finally got to meet the awesome Duncan 😀 we should’ve met this April just gone for our Spain group shoot, but of course COVID means it’s now next year. I had two absolutely fabulous days shooting with Duncan, in a stunning apartment at the Barbican. We also shot a really cool roller skate set just down the road!

Duncan is a delight to work with, he’s very welcoming and makes you feel completely at ease as soon as you meet him. It was so much fun looking through all of the amazing lingerie sets that he had bought to shoot! Such a great variety if colours and styles 😍 we had so many options over the two days!

Not only is Duncan a pleasure to work with, he is an extremely talented photographer with loads of pose and shot ideas! I am simply over the moon with the images from these two wonderful days!!

Originally he booked me for one day in the apartment, but due to us getting on like a house on fire, and a cancellation for the following day - to my joy, I was invited back for the second day, which just makes me so so happy! 🥲

On top of all this wonderfulness Duncan has invited me to his Greece shoot trip in May which I am just absolutely gobsmacked and delighted by! 😄 I simply cannot wait to continue working with Duncan and I fully recommend him to anyone thinking of working with him!

2 References in one! One word to describe Duncan - AWESOWE!

Duncan is always a pleasure to work with. We have been shooting for a few years now and I’ve always enjoyed our shoots. This month we’ve had the pleasure of working together twice! ( very lucky ).

Our first shoot was at the factory in London. The location is beautiful and we’ve shot there twice now. We captured some brilliant images and Duncan brought along some clothing which went perfectly with the location.

Our second shoot was on the beach in Bournemouth. Now let me tell you... it was HOT! 26 degrees and no wind on a beach kinda hot. However the shoot was epic as always! The hot weather gave us an excuse to get into the sea. Although the weather was extremely hot we had a lovely shoot and captured some amazing images again.

Thank you for a couple of awesome shoots Duncan! :)
