I had the pleasure of working with Declan today while he was visiting Edinburgh.

Declan's communication prior to the shoot was perfect and I always knew we would have a good second shoot, simply due to his eye for detail and his positive sense of humour previously.

As before Declan was professional throughout and we created some stunning images using mainly natural light, we got some great results and I look forward to seeing the final images.

Hopefully we will shoot again in 2018!

I shot with Declan while touring in Dublin and I seriously can't remember how many times we shot together, possibly 4 or even 5? :) I always enjoy working with him so much due to him being so relaxed, friendly, chatty and so professional.

Declan never disappoints, he is always well prepared for a shoot, with plenty of great ideas but he is also open for model's suggestions. He has countless story to tell and he is a great person to chat with for sure, sometimes I actually forget that we are supposed to shoot not talk ha !

I would definitely like to recommend Declan to every model and I am really looking forward to working with him again. Thank you :)!

Worked with Declan during my trip in Ireland and I greatly enjoyed our shoot.

A real gentleman, professional, enthusiastic, and open to ideas, time flew very quickly and we create some great images. He booked a great and spacious studios and we experimented with various lights, sets and props.

Thank you Declan for the lovely shoot and I hope we get to work together again!

Declan is a wonderful chap! We've been trying to arrange a shoot for a while but due to my ill health, I wasn't in the best way to model - however, we finally got to shoot yesterday for a few hours in 50hz studio in Dublin. What an awesome shoot it was!

Declan is very respectful, chatty and enthusiastic, has a great technique with the camera, and is generally a top fellow. The four hours flew by, lots of shooting, talking and laughing was had. Would work with him again in an instant. Highly recommended to all models!

I love working with Declan, he gives the greatest feedback and a beautiful way with the camera, his creativity shines through with the images - they look incredible!

He is super professional and respectful, with the fabulous sense of humour and he has so many captivating stories, about history and art - I can't recommend this lovely individual enough to all, I do hope to work with him on my return back next year on a solo tour :)

While on my second Dublin tour with Jezebelle I was lucky enough to shoot with Declan for the second time, and we enjoyed it so much we have another shoot arranged for next month!

Declan is a true gentleman, naturally creative with a fantastic eye for light. His model ettiquette is second to none and he is an all round pleasure to pose for. Thanks for a wonderful shoot and I can't wait to see the results! Highly recommended x

I had a delightful shoot with Lensmith where I was the rigger in an erotic scenario with BeaTriss as the model. He was exceptionally respectful of the model and had a keen artistic eye in terms of the captures and positions he was looking for.

I would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone.

Bea Triss

I attended a rope bondage shoot with Declan yesterday. He took care of organising the venue and the rigger and was very understanding of safety concerns and precautions.

On the day Declan was extremely courteous and respectful. He was very open to ideas and suggestions as well as offering his own. I had a lovely time and look forward to shooting with him again.

Lovely shoot today with Lensmith today! Nice and relaxed and reacted well when problems arose. Highly recommended and would like to work with him again!

I worked with Declan as a model of rope work tutorial session by Mark from Beautiful bondage.

He is a true gentleman with a sense of humour and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

I love the images he created!!!

Thank you for the great shoot and hope to work with him again.

Beautiful Bondage

I provided some rope bondage combined with part-tuition for a shoot with Declan recently, I found him a genuinely pleasant and relaxed guy to work with, polite, respectful & very modest. I look forward to working with/for him on future shoots.

I feel very comfortable recommending him to models, including for bondage, while his rope skills are definately still at novice level his artistic motivation and keen awareness of his limitations combined with a highly respectful attitude towards models leave me inclined to recommend him to any models considering working in that, or any related genre.

I've done two shoots with Declan now. We booked the second shoot for the week after the first as the first one went so well!

Declan is a very friendly and respectful photographer, and I've had fun shooting with him.

I'm looking forward to shooting with him again next month!

I'd happily recommend working with Declan to anyone. :)

Amber West

I shot with Declan when he was in London, and it was a fabulous shoot. Declan is just lovely - friendly, polite, enthusiastic and very articulate.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent too, and shoot was very well planned. Can't recommend him enough :)

Ashley Monroe

I had a fantastic first shoot with Declan yesterday. He was very polite and friendly and chatty during the shoot.

The shoot was great fun and he had lots of ideas for what he wanted to achieve. He was very easy to work with and the shoot flew by.

Having thoroughly enjoyed working with him, I would highly recommend him to other models and hope to work with Declan again in the future.

Between October and December of this year, I have enjoyed two more truly amazing shoots with this fantastic gentleman! We nailed it on our first ever shoot back in 2016 so when I finally sorted myself out and got across to Ireland for a tour, I was over the moon when Declan confirmed a second shoot! He had booked a beautiful Airbnb apartment for the event which had an endless spectrum of opportunities: lush windows, cool sets galore... Declan has fantastic taste in shoot locations so when he books his shoots he will always go into the idea with epic creative visions of how to make the shoot as spectacular as possible. This was an extremely productive session, we benefited from available light for the majority of the shoot and even when the light started to seriously dim, Declan constantly worked with it to keep producing high quality images. The images looked pure class on the back of the camera, and Declan was the usual star to work with being so positively game for bouncing ideas around and taking on the lighting challenges each time we changed sets.

Declan has an unquestionable eye for an image which tells a story, there were a lot of obvious nice backgrounds on this shoot but he spotted things like the corridor between rooms and always worked with care to make it work at times when it wasn't straight forward to achieve the lighting. He will put so much passion into creating a number of spectacular images rather than shoot for the sake of it and this is why it's so lovely working with him because he really puts a massive amount of artistic effort into his work and this really spurs you on as model because you can see where he's going with it. We had 6 hours booked this time, and my goodness did it fly! I really did enjoy this shoot and Declan kindly let me do my "back of the camera" so share a quick sneak peak because there were so many in-camera amazing shots!

Our third shoot was planned especially after such a totally fabulous shoot back on my October tour... So we nailed a date just a week before Christmas and I travelled across to Dublin where Declan had organised the use of another opportunity-rich location. Again there were challenges, the light was soft and dim at times - still didn't phase Declan. He also bossed the angles because with some of the sets there were narrow shooting paths to avoid distractions in the shots but he still managed without any bother at all creating some magical results once more! The light on the set at end was really to die for, and this goes to show that the ace rapport and teamwork can be stretched to the very end of the shoot and the last set is as superb as the rest! It was never an issue that we were running out of ideas, that's for sure! In fact the variation on our most recent shoot was totally different to our previous shoots as well, Declan's one of those creatives who I could work with time and time again and I am certain we would always output beautiful work.

He's always so kind and lovely, on the shoot he cannot do enough to keep his models well looked after and comfortable... He ran me to the shop to pick up some snacks/drinks since I hadn't really eaten much before the shoot. He collected me from the airport in the morning on our latest shoot to help me with all my things so I didn't have to face public transport with my luggage. He's a truly professional person to work with, has a big heart and such an enthused attitude towards working together with models on shoots. We have such a laugh whilst working which always makes for a positive shoot environment. He's just an all-round really lovely person to work with. Highly recommended! Roll on the next time we shall shoot!

I had a fantastic shoot with Declan today, I was blown away by every set we took. Declan is very respectful of levels yet still managed to shoot me in new and innovative ways, providing something fresh for both of our portfolios. I'm very glad we got to shoot today and can't wait to see the images! Thank you and see you next time!
