I didn't had to think twice when I was asked to join a group shoot with Dougie at his FBW studio with 5 other photographers 2 models and 1 mua

I had the pleasure of working with Dougie a couple of months ago and cannot fault this epic photographer on any level if my life depended on it !!

The communication from first inbox till last released image is just excellent

As soon as you arrive at his studio you will feel at home and get infected with his quircky sense of humor

Not only will you be guaranteed some totally mind blowing images but left with a shoot experience that will put a massive smile on your face

Can't thank you enough Dougie for giving me the opportunity to not only shoot once but twice with you. Looking forward to our next shoot soon.

In the meantime keep those uber creative and stunning images coming pls 👌👌👌

Just returned from a lovely shoot with my Fave Doug.

Had a spot on shoot, Doug as ever ensured lighting and set were spot on and gave great guidance as to what he wanted to achieve.

After we had shot Dougs idea he even captured some portraits of me that I have been after for my portfolio.

Doug puts up with my constant chatter and awkward wrist :) we always have a laugh, the music is fab and the studio a Aladdins cave of treasures.

Love my trips to chez wallop and can't wait to return, thanks doug your a star xx

Had a great shoot with Doug yesterday. Pre shoot communication was great. It was at his studio in Blackpool and I wasn't feeling great because of a migraine but he was a proper gentleman making sure I was alright to shoot and had everything I needed even offering to not shoot what he had originally cast for.

I'm glad I stuck around and we shot everything we wanted to get. I would happily work with him again, hopefully next time I'll feel more myself!

Thanks Doug!

Was a last minute shoot with Doug. After just starting to pick up modelling again, he helped me and gave good directions during the shoot. He had an amazing idea for us to shoot with and I enjoyed doing it so much. Would highly recommend!

I attended one of Dougie's "Intro to Studio" days and absolutely cannot recommend it highly enough.Its rare to meet such a warm and open photographer, so willing (and indeed eager) to impart his knowledge and experience. Great value for money and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. The models that Dougie had organised were superb and I only took away good things from the whole experience. I can see why so many models want to work with him.

Had the pleasure of attending one of Dougies workshops at his Studio last week. What can I say about this man that hasn’t already been said. I have followed Dougies work for some time on PP and to get an insight into how his creative process works was amazing. Dougie is quite happy to part with the wealth of knowledge he has accumulated over the years both on the camera and photoshop to anyone who wants to learn. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day well worth the money!

Thanks Dougie!

I finally had the opportunity to shoot at the fantastic Flash Bang Wallop Studio for not only one but TWO days, one day being an 'Intro to Studio / Portfolio Builder Day' and the other an MUA shoot.

At both shoots Dougie was a joy to work with, a true professional and an absolute credit to this industry. Not only does he look after his models but he also goes out of his way to help, assist and create the best possible images. First class communication pre, during and post shoot, I felt at ease the whole time and I had a very memorable couple days at this fantastic studio and really cant wait to return.

I VERY highly recommend Dougie to everyone, book him now as you definitely wont be disappointed. A great shoot guaranteed along with amazing images! If I lived closer I would be there all the time!

Thanks again Dougie, for not only having me on board but also for the fantastic hospitality throughout my visit and for 2 brilliant shoots, until the next time, keep up the amazing work!

Dougie was great to work with, he was organised professional and very talented in working with the crazy theme that we was doing which involved body paint and makeup and hair, he was also very patient when we run over a little at the beginning of the day due to the original design taking us longer than first thought, we did manage to do two body art and makeup looks in 4 hours which was pretty good going! 😊

He was also very understanding when we had a minor spillage in the studio of some body art glue so thank-you very much for having me! And my little elves 🙊

Yay! My favourite photographer is back! I have had an idea in my head for years and I KNEW that Dougie would be the perfect person to shoot it with. I was so right! Absolutely adore the pics we shot yesterday. Thank you so much! Kira xx
