References for Matt de-B

So this is a very long overdue reference and I apologise for that Matt, however it is a very positive one! I had the opportunity to work with Matt for 6 hours from my home in the Summer holidays! Communications from start to finish were amazing and sorting the shoot was done with ease.

Matt turned up on time and after a chat and cuppa we started shooting, I felt immediately comfortable working with Matt and knew it would be a good shoot! We worked our way through different sets, Matt came with lots of ideas and a mood board with ideas. We had lots of chats and laughter whilst shooting too!

Not only is Matt lovely he’s also a very good photographer the images he showed me on the back of the camera were beautiful. I really enjoyed my shoot with Matt and hope we can shoot again. Wholeheartedly recommended!

I had another amazing shoot with Matt recently when he came down to Kent to shoot with me again :) Pre-comms are always spot on - he always sends a detailed shoot plan with a moodboard of images attached, clothing for me to get out ready and a list of styles/creative ideas to help make our shoot time run as smoothly and organised as possible. For the first half of our shoot we did different sets at my home - in the living room against one of his new backdrops which looked amazing, and then some bodyscapes in the bedroom. Matt then treated us to a delicious dinner (lasagna for the win!) and then we continued our shoot at a stunning outdoor location to get some beautiful sunset shots. The lighting was to die for! I absolutely love golden hour (although the scary cows that were there, not so much haha!). Matt is always such a pleasure to work with and spend time with. His photography skills are incredible and he really knows how to use the light to the best way possible. I'm blown away by the images I have seen! I highly recommend Matt to others and really look forward to our next one already :)

Thanks for a lovely day!

I had my first shoot with Matt who was coming from far to nearby to me. Good pre comms. He had a clear plan and moodboard of what his inspirations to do were and outfits he brought too. I look forward to seeing the results. Thanks again Matt :)

I had another fantastic shoot with Matt in the week when he came to me to create some stunning images together. Matt arrived on time and with all of his equipment ready to go. Matt is one of the most organised photographers out there and always gives a detailed shoot plan beforehand so we know what we're going to be doing and what I will need in terms of clothing etc. We worked on a variety of different looks and sets using his backdrop in the front room and then moving onto bodyscapes in the bedroom. Matt is one of the friendliest and nicest friends I've made in the industry - we always have a laugh and a good chin wag and his photography skills are excellent. Can't wait to see some of the results. I highly recommend Matt to others and I look forward to our next shoot in the summer :)

Worked with Matt for the first time recently when he booked me to work with at a local air bnb and it was unfortunately on a very miserable wet day but we made use of the place and it's natural light. It was a really lovely place to shoot, with a few different areas to use to help mix things up as well and I really enjoyed the shoot, he even supplied some snacks for throughout to keep us both going which is always greatly appreciated as I'm a real foodie haha!!

I would highly recommend working with him, and do hope we get to work together more in the future. Thanks again for a fab shoot! :D

I had another fantastic shoot with Matt recently, this time at a stunning Air BnB that Matt booked nearby. Our shoot started with a catch up and a cuppa then we got started. Matt is very organised and had prepared a shoot plan in advance so I knew what to bring with me and his ideas. He even provided some outfits for me to wear - I particularly loved the Miss Santa costume and the beautiful piece of red fabric which we incorporated into some of our shots. As always, we had a lot of fun and the time flew by! We even stopped halfway for pizza which Matt kindly cooked for us :) The photos I saw on the back of his camera looked amazing! I highly recommend Matt to others, he’s so friendly, kind, polite, professional and respectful and I always enjoy shooting with him. I look forward to our next one :)

I had shoots with Matt over two consecutive days recently and as always we had a blast! Matt is a very respectful photographer who is calm, professional, respectful and has a lot of creative ideas. His communication before and during the shoot was very clear and the time absolutely flew by on both days. We managed to fit in many different outfits against the backdrops. Matt is a lovely guy to work with and I consider him a good friend. The photos on the back of his camera looked amazing! I highly recommend Matt to others and I look forward to working with him again :D

I had another amazing shoot with Matt last week at my home! Our shoots are always a lot of fun, chilled and productive. I knew what the ideas were beforehand as he sends me a thorough and detailed document with themes and ideas along with reference images which I find very useful. We managed to fit in several different sets/looks in the time we had - fashion, portraiture, lingerie and art nude. Matt knows what it is he is after and carefully spends time getting the lighting just how he wants and the results are always beautiful! Matt is so easy to get on with, super friendly and polite and is an overall joy to work with.

I look forward to our other shoots later on in the year :D

I had a short but sweet shoot with matt this morning. He showed up on time and had some great ideas. Lovely guy

Good communication, punctual, respectful and well organised.

Some outfits didn't arrive due to royal mail strikes but we were able to find an alternative upon arrival. The train was also delayed, yet we were able to buy and do everything that we originally planned. It's a good thing we had booked a studio all day.

Great shoot inside and outside. We did hope for some snow but it didn't... and the snow came the day after!

Hope to work together again in the future. Great photos.

Recommended.

I had my second all day shoot with Matt recently and it was absolutely brilliant. Matt sent me a detailed shoot plan beforehand so I knew what to expect on the day and what clothing etc to get out ready. Matt arrived on time and prepared with his equipment, lighting and a beautiful blue backdrop. We had a cuppa and catch up before we started setting up to shoot. We did a mix of fashion, implied and bodyscapes both indoors and outdoors at a couple of locations that Matt had previously travelled down to scout a couple of months prior to this shoot. Matt is super respectful and so easy to talk to and get on with. I was able to look through all the images on the back of his camera throughout our shoot and I was over the moon with them.

Thanks Matt for being a joy to work with and always professional and fun :)

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Matt today as he booked me for an all day shoot. We had been talking online for a very long time and we had originally arranged to shoot together back in March, however I caught Covid so we had to postpone. It was most definitely worth the wait! Matt's pre-comms are like no others I have seen - incredibly concise and organised down to every detail. Matt travelled all the way down to my hometown the evening before and stayed in a local hotel. He arrived this morning bang on time, with all of his equipment, props and some items of clothing for me to wear. Before we started shooting, we had a cuppa and chin wag which was lovely. Matt is very friendly, polite, respectful and easy-going. We shot at a relaxed yet productive pace throughout the day and managed to get through all of the ideas we had planned. We did a mixture at my home and also at my local park as the weather was gorgeous! Matt gave great direction but also allowed me to pose freely too. He knew exactly how to compose his images and used the natural light or his lighting to the best way possible and he showed me the images on the back of his camera regularly and I was blown away! I can't wait to see some of the final results! Matt is highly professional and respectful and I can happily recommend him to other models. Thanks again :)
