Derek was one of the photographer that attended our event on Saturday. Arrived on time with everything he needed, mixed with the other photographers and our model with such ease.

Some great images back of camera too.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Derek as part of the shoot and we would welcome him back anytime.

Highley recommended to all and a really nice guy.

First time working with Derek at a group shoot, what a lovely guy!

Helpful with direction and trying various lightings and backdrops dependant on outfits.

He made me feel at ease which was a huge bonus.

Would love to work together again, would reccomend!

Another wonderful shoot with Derek, this time he attended a workshop I organised at The Boardroom in Derby. We had been in talks about organising a shoot for a while after one falling through.

And after changing arrangements and details we managed to work together again on Saturday! As always Derek is really friendly, chatty, relaxed and genuinely lovely to be around.

He works really well with others and treats the studio with respect, he worked well in the space also despite it being a first visit!... He was more than happy to experiment and try new lighting and settings.... and was happy to take and give suggestions!...

All in all another lovely opportunity to work with Derek and some beautiful images taken!...

Thanks again Derek, as always highly recommended to models and studios!

Had the chance to meet Derek at our studio open day and he was amazing to work with. Really friendly and helpful to my fiance tann marie. I styled the hair for the day and upon arrival he showed himself to not only be a true gem of friendship, he also had the most amazing sense of humour. Both myself and tann hope to work with him again real soon. Really fab guy and I highly recommend him to anyone

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Derek for the first time at my studio day at Solo Studio, and what a brilliant shoot it was.

Derek is awesome, easy to get on with and made me feel completely at ease. In the short time we had to work together I felt like I got to know him well and some of the shots we got I think are absolutely fab!

Derek is happy to go with the flow in terms of posing but gives great direction when it’s needed. I really enjoyed the shoot and hopefully it won’t be the last.

I definitely recommend working with Derek as he is brilliantly funny and great to work with. Can’t wait to see the results ;)

Thank you for such a lovely shoot!

First shoot with Derek was super fun at my studio day at Map Studios in Loughborough :) We did a mixture of fashion, lingerie and Nude. Love what I saw back of camera. Would definately love to shoot with him again when I am next on my travels. 100% recommended to any creative :) ❤️

Claire Crown

Had a great shoot today with Derek. Unfortunately the heavens opened on us but the enthusiasm and eccentricity of Derek's artistic eye meant we got amazing shots in only the hour we had. Such a lovely guy who made me relaxed and gave me a good laugh. Would highly recommend! What an expert

Amber Tutton

I work with derek at alex's studio in Lincoln, I absolutely love modelling for him..

He is great with communication, always makes sure your smiling and calm... doesn't stress about images and just takes it all in his stride! The images we produced are seriously out of this world! I'm super happy with them!

Fun person to be around, great for getting the best images :) we did fashion and some lingerie.... some of my favourite shots yet!

Thanks so much already awaiting the next shoot

Highly recommended :)

Well what a wonderful second shoot with Derek, although I have to say it's been a rather long time coming (3 years!)

I do remember reaching out to Derek and before I knew it we had a second shoot booked in, comms were brilliant, we even came up with some rough ideas which certainly gave me a useful heads up!

We decided that whilst the weather was nice we would do some outside shot and I have to say they were my favourite from the day, gorgeous fashion shots!...

Derek certainly has an artistic eye for composition and angles etc!....

Even though it's been a while I felt like I was catching up with an old friend, we chatted, giggled and the shoot flew by!... What more can you ask for!...

Again it's a solid recommendation from me! And I hope we get to shoot again, maybe a little less time between though ;)

Thanks again Derek!

I had my first shoot with Derek at Map studio's yesterday. It was such a pleasure to work with this true gent. We only had a short time together but we definitely made the most out of it. We got in a variety of looks and styles plus a few extra unexpected ones, the time just flew by!

Derek was professional, polite and really easy to get along with. Not to mention his wonderful skills! From what I seen on the back of the camera, he really knows what he is doing and what he wants to achieve from each shoot.

I hope I get another opportunity to work with him!

HIghly recommended!!
