I worked with Des for the first time at Kempston studio. It was a shoot that we had been planning for a while and that I was looking forward to. His pre-shoot comms were great and helped buold rapport prior to the shoot; as well as preparing for what we was going to shoot. Des was very easy to get along with and the shoot was relaxed; with plenty of conversation. We worked through a variety of ideas and the time flew by. Des was professional at all times and we collaborated together to get the best shots. I would happily recommend him to other models and hope to work with him again soon :)

Awesome having Des here, doing another shoot recently.

As always, super friendly and pleasant guy with great comms. Had a great rapport with his model and treated studio spaces / props respectfully.

I can fully recommend Des and would be happy to see him return!

Thanks again - Lee

I was so pleased that Des booked me again for my second studio day at studio fifty eight. After our last successful shoot I knew we would have another enjoyable shoot and Des did not disappoint! He had some great ideas and made use of all the studio had to offer. Des is friendly and professional I always feel comfortable working with him and enjoy our conversations. Des showed me the images as we went through and the time flew by! I would highly recommend working with Des and am excited for our next studio day!

RIP Des, you are missed

Des is still improving with every shoot he has and his knowledge of the camera and settings are by far way better than many more experienced photographers that have visited. Des is now looking more at details and composition to his photography so always heading in the right direction.

Des comes with ideas and likes the details flow from the tiny seed. As I said before all the models that shoot with Des love him so will never be short of a muse and will always be welcome back here.

100%...

I cannot recommend Des enough...

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to new and experienced models...

Des is such a lovely person, kind hearted, down to earth, professional, respectful and a gentleman...

We shot sweets around my face, sweets on me as a bodyscape and then art nude...

Never a dull moment and always incredibly fun...

Thank you for booking me...

I could not have been happier to see des’ face at the studio for a duo with my self and miss April, a true pleasure to work with - frames and captures shots perfectly, polite, professional and genuinely a such a wonderful man to work with! Will always be highly recommended, thanks des see you again soon!

Yet another fantastic shoot with this lovely gentleman. Des is always consistently wonderful to work with. We work on concepts together and he puts in so much effort into organising things for the shoots.

This time we did a fruits and vegetables shoot! Des brought all we needed and had already sent me some of his ideas.

Shoots with Des are always so much fun and I always look forward to them. Des is lovely to chat to and so great to work with. I’m very much looking forward to our next shoot in May!

Thank you so much Des x

I worked with Des at part of a studio day and it was fabulous.

He was a pleasure to work with and came with some very fun and unique ideas for us to try - it was refreshing!

Im sorry it took me so long to get you a reference Des but be assured, it would be an absolute pleasure to work with you again x

I'm so very glad I finally had the chance to work with this fabulous human being! We attempted to shoot last November during a Northampton Tour, but due to unforeseen circumstances Des was unable to make it - so this was shoot one, take two! From start to finish, his pre communications were excellent, being perfectly happy to leave the outfit choices to me on the day. He arrived on time and raring to go - from the very start of the shoot to the end, he was a true joy to work with! He didn't have any issues adjusting his settings throughout the course of the shoot as we flowed through one set to the next. He was polite and professional throughout, very kind and courteous, stopping frequently to check I was alright.

The back of the camera shots were fantastic and it was clear to me that Des knew his way around a lighting kit! Our shoot took place in Studio Fifty Eight in Kettering, Northamptonshire and the three hours absolutely flew by! I'd highly recommend Des and definitely wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

Shooting with Des is always an absolute pleasure and I couldn't have asked for a nicer, more professional and highly, highly skilled photographer.

Everything from making sure I am comfortable, Des is by along way one of the most considerate and friendly photographers out there!

It was a highly enjoyable shoot and I was overjoyed with the shots Des took, he really uses his initiative, creativity and vast amount of experience to produce some really great images.

Looking forward to working with you again in April :-) Very highly recommended to all Models! :-)

Another creative shoot with Des at Studio Fifty Eight. This time tackling a milk bath and bath concepts. Des had a concept and theme we were to play around with and this really helped direct the shoot. Exploring different themes and genres but all circling back to the bath.

I really cannot wait to see the results. The shoot was fun and flowed well. Des is open to model input.

I recommend him to anyone considering booking a shoot with him!

Until the next shoot!

What a lovely guy to work with! Second time of shooting with Des and defiantly not the last.

Des gave some great coms before our shoot and had some more than brilliant ideas. Des has a great relationship with Andy the owner of Kempston and worked brilliantly in setting up and making sure I was ok throughout the shoot.

I honestly couldn't comment enough on how lovely Des is and what a pleasure it is to work with him!

Defiantly recommended!

After a few weeks off with comms problems it’s great to see Des back at the studio shooting again a doing what he does best in making all the models love him.

Des is just one of those characters that you would want to meet in the pub as conversation would never be dull. Worldly wise and knowledgeable without being patronising or condescending. Photography skills improving each shoot and always cares for his models with respect at all times.

If I were a model I would shoot with Des.

I had another shoot with Des when I was hosting a model studio day at Studio Fifty Eight and hopefully we will be able to work together again in the future. :)

Des was just amazing to work with and be around and just like previously, we had such a wonderful time shooting & chatting! :))

Des is such a lovely, genuine and sweet person! He's so kind, warm and totally down to earth. He never rushes with anything, he's so great to chat with and he's sooooo easy-going!

He always comes well-prepared for a shoot with plenty of ideas in his head! As before, we got creative together and created some beautiful images as well as some funny ones!

We had so much laugh and fun working together and I've got a feeling Des is becoming my regular photographer slowly, slowly.. Bless him, he has no idea what he's getting himself into.. :D

Thank you so much Des and can't wait to work with you again! :)
