Had my first shoot with Doug yesterday and had a fabulous time! Doug really knows how to get the best out of his models and was brilliant at directing every tiny detail to ensure we got some cracking images. I would love an opportunity to work with him again in future and can't wait to get my images back. Highly recommended to all models and photographers! Thanks for a great shoot Doug!

Had my 3rd shoot with Doug today and it was a pleasure as always. Doug gives clear, concise direction and knows how to compose everything to make a great image. He's very patient with me going through outfit changes and we really busted through a surprising amount of looks given our timescale today. He's happy for me to do my own thing too and is always very welcoming of my ideas. I really cannot wait to see the images as Doug's work never fails to impress and I cannot recommend him enough!

I was very lucky to get back to shoot with Dougie at Flash Bang Wallop so soon but jumped at the opportunity.

Great communication before the shoot about outfit ideas and images and the images were sent over very quickly ...... the most difficult job is trying to choose which ones to edit.

Once again, great direction, attention to detail and great fun too.

I will always look forward to shooting with such a creative, talented photographer. Thank you..;)

I'm sure doug is now sick of the sight of me the amount He has seen me over the past few month but it alway a pleasure to work with him and even more of an honour to be invited to a group shoot at Hallam mill which was a fantastic day and great fun

Doug is amazingly talented and true gentleman and I alway love the end result from all our shoots 100% recommended every time

I had the privilege to work at the Flash Bang Wallop studio last recently, and also to shoot with Doug at Hallam Mill, during his group event. It was an honour, a wonderful opportunity, to work with somebody who is so very good at what they do. Doug showed great hospitality in accommodating me at his hotel over the weekend. During the actual shoot he gave excellent clear direction, he's obviously extremely efficient and has a great eye for detail, and for what will work in a shoot. I worked as hard as I could and hope he was happy with the photo results. Would love to work with him again.

Highly recommended, of course.

Had a great shoot with Doug recently at a group event. Everyone was friendly and approachable. Doug was full of ideas and enthusiastic with the images he wanted to produce. No doubt he knows his stuff. We also had greats communication all throughout the process of the shoot. Looking forward to seeing the finished photos and doing more work with him.

I had the absolute pleasure of stepping in last minute to model some edgy looks for the recent FBW event. I loved it, the atmosphere was fun and friendly. Doug is just a legend and I was ecstatic to get to model in the can puller jacket and bags. ( I had my eye on them when I was in Brighton at John Farrar's :D) Shoot with FBW and you're guaranteed amazing images. Highly recommended!

Thanks again Doug! Kira xx

I attended another of dougs group events recently. I always love going there! Dougs very straightforward and I like that. The dates and details were organised swiftly and without hassle. The studio has so many amazing props and quirky things to play with. I could spend days modelling my way through the wigs masks hats etc! Heaven for a creative model. He looked after everyone so well and ensured we all enjoyed the day and kept things organised and flowing. Naturally good at hosting! And managed to take a few shots as well. Very highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Doug today at the FBW studio. Doug surely knows his stuff and it was great to watch the master at work. He provided me with a variety of different lighting setups to go away with. In addition the 1-1photoshop tutorial afterwards was outstanding. I can't recommend Doug enough, if your looking for some experience as a beginner or as an established photographer, you will be guaranteed to walk away with some great shots and bucket full of tips and tricks to try out.

Thanks again to Doug, the models and the MUA for a great day.

When I found Dougies Images online I FELL TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THEM !!! After being both persistent and polite in asking for a shoot with the Legend he finally conceded defeat and I had the privilege of working with him.

Dougie is a fabulous guy, really easy to get along with and I love the attention to detail he has in order to achieve the exact image he has in mind.

I had a fantastic shoot at Flash Bang Wallop and cant wait to go back to shoot with him again as Dougie is one of my Photographic Heroes.

I turned up to my first shoot yesterday, i was very nervous and did not know what to expect. Doug made me feel welcome, he was professional and gave clear instructions on what we were going to shoot and how. My confidence grew within a short period of time and i feel we got some really good shots! I cannot wait to see the end results and would recommend flash bang wallop to any new starter. Thanks Doug!

I had my first photo shoot with Doug the other week, he made it relaxed and enjoyable. As I am new to modeling he really helped me in front of the camera, lots of ideas and attention to detail. I'll look forward to working with him again.

I travelled over to Blackpool for a shoot with Doug at his studio this week.

It was great fun! Doug is a kind, professional, creative gentleman, who had clear ideas and a plan for the shoot. Communications were great before, during and after. I would definitely work with Doug again and highly recommend him to other models.

I look forward to seeing the images and working together in the future!

I had been excited to work with Doug for a while, always admiring his awesome work, and well today was every bit as magical as I had hoped. Also having a lot to do with Lilly Von Pink making some fabulous props and doing awesome make-up! Doug was very patient and we managed to get 3 looks in! Im really happy and know the results should be amazing. Do I need to say more, the images speak for themselves..!

I have worked with Doug as a model on a few occasions but this time I work with him as an MUA

Doug is so supportive of both MUA's and model's allowing so much creative freedom which is amazing his ability to get images that are creative and visually stunning is out of this world. I always enjoy visiting his studio and 100% recommended from both sides

He's such a lovely guy to work with always ensuring everyone is warm and well watered

Thank you so much for allowing my crazy

Fab shoot today with FBW and a MUA. I found the studio and was welcomed in to meet the MUA and begin a transformation!

Despite it being something totally different for me I was put at ease, FBW was massively helpful with posing. He was friendly and easy to get on with and I felt very relaxed

Thank you so much - and if he will have me I'll be back!

I worked with Doug on a creative shoot for the first them a few weeks ago. I loved how he looked at the ideas i was creating on shoot and he came back with loads of props to make the look even better! And that made such a huge difference to the photos too, not many photographers I've worked with in the past have done this and I was so impressed. He made me and the models feel very welcome and comfortable in the studio, it was such a nice chilled happy vibe all around which makes it ten times easier to do makeup. I felt like I worked well with him and I would love to again!

As if it couldn't get any better the finished pictures he edited where amazing! I am more then happy with these images and they have to be a favorite of mine. I could not recommend him enough to work with, if you want fantastic professional pictures then this is the man to work with.

It can be seen from his portfolio how incredibly talented Doug is. His work is beautiful, creative and perfect. I had wanted to work with him for months and finally got the opportunity on the 13th.

The pre-shoot communication was fantastic and together we selected two looks to create. Charley Payne joined us to perfectly create the look. Doug was incredibly welcoming despite a mess up with my train timings which meant we only had 2.5 hours to do the two looks, so speed shooting occurred. With just a few minutes to photograph each set, he captured what are incredible images, helped by his clear views on what works and what he wants.

I very highly recommend and really hope to have the opportunity to work with him again next time I'm up north, ensuring that my train leaves more that 3 hours after the MUA's arrives this time!
