I had another shoot with Doug and Kira Krueger on the 3 rd of December and it was an amazing shoot as usual. Doug really knows what he's doing and always achieves perfection, some pics from this shoot are in Tenebrous Magazine. I love working with Doug and highly recommended him xxx

Had my second shoot with Flash Bang Wallop two days ago, left it way too long as my first one with him was 18 months ago! But it was definitely worth the wait. Dougie maintained great communication prior to the shoot, liked the outfits I had brought specially to shoot with him and gave lots of useful direction as well as letting me do my own thing. Very highly recommended, cannot wait to receive the images as I know for a fact they'll be amazing! Thanks again Doug!

had an amazing shoot with FBW with pier manzetti (MUA) can't wait for next shoot!

FBW has an amazing talent and it was an honour to work with him. he has an amazing creative eye and knows what he wants in an image and how to execute it. the images we created stand out in my portfolio against the rest. despite his professional side, FBW is a very laid back relaxed guy with a sense of humour. on a whole the shoot was fun, relaxed and very productive.

I was very fortunate in being able to work with Flash Bang Wallop on Monday 24th November . Not only is Doug truly an awesome photographer but genuinely a pleasure to with too. Dougs photography skills speak for themselves , he certainly knows how to direct and capture a great shot !

His hospitality is generous as is his ability to give space for creative flow . I had 4 detailed creative looks for the day which were completed with ease and before the expected time only because Doug let me get on with it , without hovering about checking his watch .. this makes a world of difference for any makeup artist ... and the cups of coffee were very much appreciated by my model and myself :-)

After the shoot Doug was very quick to allow us to view and choose images .

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Doug and would love to work with him again .. highly recommend Flash Bang Wallop 110 %

I've shot with Doug a few times now, both times fab. He's polite and comms before the shoot are fab!

I had the privilege of working with the genius that is flash bang wallop today and what can I say, I was not disappointed, Doug has a very clear vision of what he wants in a shot and gives direction amazingly, it takes him only a few clicks to get the perfect shot and we managed to get loads of different looks in :)

Doug is a lovely friendly man and very easy to get on with, even picking me up from the train station, I can't recommend him higher :).

Thanks for a fab shoot today Doug, and I hope to work with you again in the future.

Had a shoot yesterday with Doug and I was so impressed with the way he works! He is super talented and a photographer, really knows what he is doing!

The shoot was amazing, I felt at ease the whole time and I even got tea :)

I liked that he can keep up with me when I pose, clearly a pro, I can't recommend him enough. The pics I've seen already I can tell they're some of the best I've had done to date. The lighting, the concept, everything was perfect! Really appreciated his input. He clearly has a good eye for what works.

Can't wait to work with him again, fantastic photographer and a great guy!

Thanks Doug!

Doug is such a gentleman to work with and a total professional throughout.

He has strong ideas and works to get the image how he wants it!

The images I have received are simply beautiful, stunning art that he has produced to such a high standard. Grateful for such a lovely shoot with images I love and I am proud of.

Thank you so much Doug and I hope to work with you again

Had another lovely shoot with Doug. This shoot felt very relaxed as we had met previously and got to know each other and Doug very kindly collected me at the station.

Doug was very patient while rach sorted my makeup and we navigated a few costume malfunctions with Doug even kindly going show shopping for me.

Doug knows exactly how to get the image in his head. I had provided a strong concept and between us we worked out how best to capture it. Doug pays amazing attention to detail and lighting, knows every crazy pose in the book and even provided some awesome props.

Thanks Doug, I only wish their were more hours in the day to shoot with you!

I've wanted to work with FBW for quite a while now, but our paths had not been aligned at the right time, but this time we managed to arrange something mutually convenient for us both and boy was it worth the wait.

Doug has great styling ideas, but still lets you work freely trying as many different things as possible.

We covered several styles?/genres and I know we got some cracking images , the difficulty will be knowing which ones to put on my portfolio.

Thank you so much for a great morning and all though it was a wet and miserable day, the trip to the seaside was just what the doctor ordered :--)

I had an amazingly refreshing first shoot with Doug who was, from start to finish, a complete gentleman who made me feel comfortable, looked after and was 100% hospitable.

Doug is a perfectionist who isn't afraid to speak his mind which I totally admire..... We created shots which covered new ground for me and to be honest I could have stayed all day.

Bouncing ideas off of each other came as second nature and Doug is an absolute joy to work with.

Highly recommended photographer, Doug it would be an honour to shoot with you again and all that I wished to achieve from the shoot was delivered to perfection.

Thankyou very much,

Ax

Had my first shoot with Doug a week ago and received the first shot back today. The quality of the photo is absolutely amazing! I could tell I was going to be impressed by the photos from the amount of attention Doug pays to detail on the actual shoot, honing in and perfecting every little aspect to create a brilliant work of art.

I was a little nervous as it was my first photo shoot without a chaperone present, however I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Easily one of the best photographers I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

I would 100% recommend Doug and look forward to possibly shooting with him again!

I had a lovely shoot with Doug yesterday. Very professional, direct and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Flash Bang Wallop and hope to work with Doug again.

Rachel Sherratt Makeup Artist

I had heard amazing things about Doug so was desperate to work with him. We collaborated on a models day where I did Makeup for 3 different models. Doug left the looks entirely up to me, but would also offer his ideas for what he thought would look good. I can't wait to see the images, they looked amazing just on his camera screen, I can't imagine what the finished result will be. Hope to work with him again soon.

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Doug today at his studios in Blackpool. Doug collected me from the station on time and was lovely from the get go.

What I like about Doug is he knows exactly what he wants and how to achieve it, not a second is wasted and I couldn't believe how quickly we got the shots we needed.

Doug gives very presise guidance and pays such attention to detail it amazed me.

I would work with Doug again in a heartbeat (if he'll have me back as I do talk the hind legs off a donkey) utter proffessional and on another leval of photography xxx
