I had my first shoot with Declan when I came to Dublin for my first modelling trip ever. I can actually admit that he inspired me to come there as initially we were meant to shoot in Leeds. I was so happy when I managed to come there ! Declan arrived to my hotel room on time and fully prepared, with great friendly attitude :) We had a long chat before when Declan explained the way he shoots and reassured me that I only work up to my comfortable levels. It was great to hear that as it made me feel so comfortable and confident about shooting in a hotel ( my first time on a trip and in a hotel.. ). Shoot was great :) Went really quick as we were chatting throughout about literally everything ! Declan is an amazing photographer who takes lovely erotic images and he is so warm, friendly and easy going at the same time.

I would love to work with him again when I am back in Dublin one day!

Highly recommended ! Thank you Declan :)

Had another great, long overdue shoot with Declan today and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Although the shoot was last minute, Declan's communication and organisation were spot on and a familiar face arrived on time with a smile :) Declan is friendly,easy to get on with and has a great sense of humour.

I was equally impressed with Declan's professionalism and the fact that he ensures you are well looked after. He is a true gent and very respectful. Declan has some impressive ideas, which are imaginative and fun to try. We produced some fab images and Martin comes highly recommend. Thank you again for another fab shoot :)

I had a shoot at my home recently with Declan, who I've worked with several times now over the years, in the UK and abroad.

Our last shoot was a few years back so it was lovely to see Declan again- as always he's a gentleman and a pleasure to shoot with, laid back, professional attitude, which makes the shoot enjoyable.

We shot with natural light and the shots looked great on the back of the camera :) Declan takes time getting the lighting and angles right and we worked together well

Declan got in touch to book me during his recent visit to England on a shooting trip - I was so pleased that he did because we had the most wicked afternoon working together and clicked instantly! We utilised the different areas of my home using natural light, Declan got some delightful images for certain and I was loving going through the back of the camera! Literally from the very first set we began smashing out lovely images: very little planning (the shoot was kind of last minute), very little thinking about styles... we just threw some things together and it worked beautifully! :D

This is always a sign of a shoot going to be fantastic, if you gel immediately then that's it; job done! You will just bounce off one another as you work and that is what we did - I found my feet just going for it with different expressions that seemed to fit and Declan was so positively encouraging giving amazing feedback and doing the shots justice by getting himself into the best position (without toppling over backwards!) and checking where the light was to get it all balanced right. I really got into his vision of the type of images he were going for so it just flowed and flowed... half a dozen set changes ranging from your suggestive bedroom set's to sprawled all over the dining room table and we had some absolutely beautiful images in the bag.

The session seemed to go by so quickly and I really found Declan a true gent with outstanding professional attitude but also a fun character as well - yes we sure fit in our fair share of nattering as we worked! He's such a wonderful photographer to get along with, his approach and general regards for the models he shoots is very high and you can tell straight away from his communication. It seemed like we didn't even need that first 20 minutes (or whatever) to kind of get into each other style of working, a fly on the wall would have probably assumed it was our 3rd shoot together or something! Totally respectful etiquette from Declan and pure positive vibes from the beginning. :) Relaxed, enjoyable, creative, good fun - that is exactly how a photoshoot should be for all parties involved!

Given that Declan was on a tour and travelling to lots of different places he was exceptionally well prepared and organised... he arrived on time even though getting to my place often takes you through farmers fields/duck ponds and the rest! I cannot recommend him highly enough, he was such a real pleasure to work with and the images say the rest! I'm certain all the other models he was set to be working with on his trip had an equally lovely experience and I (for sure) very much look forward to working with Declan again soon!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with this gent once again, professional as always! Every shoot as good as the last, highly recommended. Looking forward to collaborating again! Many thanks.

I worked with Declan last week during my first ever Ireland visit! Declan met me at the airport and from there we drove out to a fab location to shoot.

Declan was great to work with and it was a super way to start my Ireland tour. We chatted loads, took some amazing images but sadly got chased away by the swarms of midges!! Declan was even kind enough to drop me off at a supermarket to get some essentials while I was away as I had no car.

I can't wait to see them images and hopefully work with Declan again- whether it's here, there or Portugal!

Thank you very much, Declan! :)

Met Declan for the first time a week ago at a Rope group shoot I was involved with.

Firstly Declan is a very friendly, proffesional and easy to talk and have a laugh with!!

And.....he flew from Dublin to Manchester for the shoot

I had briefly discussed possible shoots with Declan prior to the group shoot, and having now met him will certainly do all I can to get myself to Dublin to shoot with Declan again

100% Reccomended without a doubt

Thank you so much for coming over Declan, was a pleasure to meet you

Declan is awesome to work with in a lovely studio! The shoot was relaxed but productive, despite train strikes, and we got loads of gorgeous images. I really enjoyed it, and would recommend anyone shoots with him! Had a lovely day :)

Toxic Innocence

Declan is really a friendly gentleman. Our communication was excellent. He was very kind and drove me to the shoot and back to the train station, even though it was not the closest to the studio we used. He takes beautiful images and has great ideas. Time flew too quickly. I would definitely love to shoot with him again!

Toxic Innocence

Had a brilliant second shoot with Declan. He's a friendly photographer, with good communication, good ideas and nice to chat with. I had a great time and I hope we shoot again!

Yet another thoroughly enjoyable and also very successful shoot with Declan yesterday. This time in a studio which made for a nice change from our usual location shoots. Declan is always very friendly and relaxed. He makes for wonderful conversation and leaves plenty of time for breaks during the shoot. Nothing is ever rushed, yet wonderful images seem to be so frequent. I always enjoy working with declan and can't imagine ever not recommending him. Thanks again Declan :-)

Had loads of fun shooting with Declan in Menorca reccently. He is very friendly and funny and professional. I really enjoyed meeting him and doing both our shoots.

I would really recommend him to other models :)

Thanks so much Declan! x

I worked with Declan on a recent tour to Dublin. Declan's pre comms were excellent and I was lucky enough to have the whole day with him, mixing between some time in the studio and also going outside to some beautiful locations. Declan is one of the loveliest gentleman I have met in a very long time, even if we didn't take any images I would have been just as happy sat talking to him! He has a warm soul and is he brought positivity and interesting conversations all throughout the day. I felt more than comfortable, and Declan's engaging and uplifting personality made me feel amazing all day and I left with the biggest smile ever!!!

We also had a very spicy (but tasty) curry for lunch at a local Indian restaurant which provided quite a few laughs when we struggled to eat it without crying :P

He has so much creativity but was very relaxed and gave me lots of breaks and let me do my thing with poses, suggesting certain ideas every now and again.

I could rave about this guy for ever, so if you get the chance to work with him please do it I promise you won't regret it!

Hopefully see you again soon :)

I had an excellent second shoot with Declan Tuesday. He is such a charming guy and so relaxed to shoot for. We had a beautiful day at the waterfalls and took a nice long break for lunch. He is never pushy, always very respectful and great conversation in between. I can't ever imagine not recommending Declan. And I than him very much for the shoot and a great day out as well.

I had a shoot with Declan during my short visit in Dublin. We shot in the hotel room I was staying and I really enjoyed my time shooting with him. Declan is a true gentleman, very respectful, makes you feel at ease and makes sure you are happy with everything while you are shooting. He let you come up with your own poses and will direct you when needed. Unfortunately our shoot was very brief, but we are already planning our next shoot for my next visit this month. I am looking forward to work with Declan again and would definitely recommend him to anyone. Marla x
