another awesome shoot with Doug, he invited me along with an amazing bunch of crazy ladies for a group shoot and we feared for his sanity after a few hours of trying to get us all in to position but the goal was achieved in record time.

Shooting with Doug is always a good laugh, relaxed and exciting

always highly recommended

thanks for another awesome day

Absolutely cant get enough of working with Doug, this time it was with a lovely group of gorgeous girls, Doug handled the situation really well and got the shots he needed really quickly. We all laughed throughout and Doug provided us with some pure gold quotes :'). His images are stellar and the turn around is really quick.

Thanks again for yet again another great shoot, hopefully see you soon

Yesterday was awesome, I'm made up I got invited to join in the chaos with Dougie and 4 other gorgeous ladies for a carnival theme. He also welcomed Darkling Divas to the studio to style myself and Rhi. Dougie had me in hysterics with his one liners during our solo set and he managed us 5 in the group shots with ease. Really fun and chilled atmosphere and to top it off, we got cookies too! :D Top Photographer and top bloke! Highly recommended! Kira x

I had a great tuition on Monday with Flash Bang Wallop.

Since the first time I saw his work he's became one of my favourite artist.

FBW is also fantastic tutor who is guiding through the whole process of his studio setups in a very detailed way and he is sharing all the knowledge and experience in post production.

It was an amazing experience to see and learn the way Doug is creating his stunning pictures. On top of that he is very kind guy with great sense of humour ;)

Thank you Doug for this fantastic day ! :)

I modeled at another Intro to Studio Day with Dougie and yet again it was absolutely fantastic! Dougie is an amazing host, he is very relaxed and such a fun character to work with! He directs brilliantly and makes each shoot such a laugh! Thanks again!

Attended an intro to studio workshop at FBW with Doug yesterday and I have to say, if you get the chance to go on one of Doug's events or to Model for him? You should jump at the chance! Doug is a lovely, fun and very knowledgable bloke. He's patient and helpful making sure everyone is equally involved. He fully explained the various setups as we went through them, pointing out how and what results could be expected. I honestly couldn't have picked a better event for my first PP outing. I will definitely be returning to FBW. Thanks Doug! Great day, Great fun and some amazing images! (y)

Loved working with Dougie. Hilarious guy and can sing Frank Sinatra rather well. His work is amazing and is very comfortable to work with. He gives direction and ensures the lighting and everything else is just right for the perfect shot. Would love to work with him again.

After a good communication and planning, last week I met Dougie - and he's great! We had a fantastic shoot at his studio filled with great lighting, direction and glitter. I'd highly recommend him as well as Nicci Cawthorne(hair & make up) to anyone because this pair are cracking and have creative ideas bouncing off one another. The images are absolutely gorgeous, I was so pleased with the whole shoot.

Looking forward to shooting again in the future! 😄

My fourth shoot with Dougie and just as productive as always. We flew through about four different looks in a couple of hours with plenty to show for it.

Dougie is a whizz with lighting and a perfectionist with poses, always helpful with direction, and it always shows in the end results. Love working with him and am sure I will do again soon.

Had a shoot with Doug yesterday at Flash Bang Wallop and what a day it was! We had a few ideas planned before hand but I must say the whole day exceeded expectations!

He's very friendly and an awesome photographer, giving good, clear and concise direction and input towards styling.

We managed to work our way through a variety of styles and the day absolutely flew by! I can't wait to see the final results, Doug has an amazing eye for detail and strives to get the perfect shot!

Don't hesitate you should book this guy now!! Happily and highly recommended by me 😀

Thanks again Doug!! x

Had another awesome shoot with Doug yesterday. I call him a master mind, he's just a genius. Got so much done in a few hours and can't wait to see the end result. Nice working with you again.

What an amazing photographer, I have worked with Dougie on a few occasions now and he never fails to deliver spectacular shots. He is a perfectionist when it comes to poses, positioning and lighting. He pays good attention to detail, gives great direction, makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Love his vibes, always a pleasure to work with Dougie. His shots says it all really. Highly recommended x

Last year I did a shoot with Dougie at flashbangwallop, it was one of my first ever shoots and some of my favourite images came from that shoot. Today I worked with him again, however the images will be completely different for me. What I like about Dougie is that he knows exactly what he wants and how to get the results. He is also very open to input from the model. Great person and great photographer.

I had such an amazing time shooting with Doug yesterday at his studio in Blackpool. Being new to modelling Doug gave me lots of great direction and tips I feel that I learnt a lot from the couple of hours spent with him which I can use for future shoots. Doug was so welcoming and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole shoot, he is such a talented photographer and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him and hope to have another chance in the near future. Communication with Doug was bang on before and after shooting, thanks Doug.

I had a shoot with Dougie this week and the results have been incredible - easily some of the best work in my portfolio.

The studio was professional and had a lot of space, props and lighting. Doug himself has a great eye for poses (as everyone can already see from his work here) and had no issue giving direction - which is something I like as I'm still not 100% confident getting myself angled etc.

I would recommend him to anyone who would like something unique, creative and polished in their portfolio. Thank you for a great day and some amazing images, hopefully we'll work together on something again.

This was my first shoot with Dough and what a fantastic experience it was. Dough is the most respectable photographer I have worked with to date, he is not your "typical" photographer. His communication was excellent, he worked with me from start to finish ensuring I received the best possible images to suite my portfolio as a HMUA.

Whilst working with Dough I have learned a great deal - groups to join, pushing my boundary of creativity and etc ...

The shoot itself was well planned and had a friendly fun warming atmosphere.

I left the studio buzzing!!!

I do hope I get many more oppertunities to work with FBW.

I highly reccomend Dough, his defo my 1st choice!

Thank you Mr FBW xxx

What a totally creative amazing fun filled day I had with dougie. Before the shoot I was informed in detail what was expected of me and was introduced to mua allkah through a group chat. From the minute I set foot through the studio I felt at ease. During prepping me for the shoot we had a proper good chat filled with lots of laughter. Dougie directed me perfectly in a calm manner and let me have a little free style session at the end as well. I truly wish there were more down to earth helpful and uber talented photographers like dougie. It was a total pleasure to spend time with him and the rest of the team that day. Thanks for having me dougie and if I can be of any use in the near future I shall jump in my lil white juke with pleasure. Keep the amazing images coming ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star for sure !

Great working with Doug at his lovely Blackpool studio a few weeks ago. We shot some of the latex clothing of mine that we discussed about before the shoot and.. the pictures came out just great. I absolutely love them! Doug is a professional, who knows what he is doing and also helps you and directs to get that really great shot. He is also a very friendly person and I definitely recommend him :) Thank you!
