We did it! We got our second shoot shot after a year had already past since the last time I worked with this fantabulous gent :) the studio experience had us do some totally different creative sets to previously and I enjoyed every last minute. The great thing about working with Des is that we have always managed to get through lots of variety in a single session but his attention to quality and details that make a beautiful picture is still pin-sharp and never missing a cracking moment. Spectacular, brilliant, exceptional... I could be here all day finding vocabulary to vent my strong recommendations for Des. :)

Always on the ball with pre-shoot discussion and always a sport who encourages his models to be involved in the imaginative process. I just love the working relationship you get with a shoot like this and the stunning images Des has captured speak for themselves! Here's a photographer who injects thought into the effect of lighting on a look and endeavours to get the very best out of a concept/idea.

Did I mention that I have never met a photographer who looks after his models as much as Des? I was kindly hosted by Des and his wife the evening before our shoot with the best hospitality I could have wished for on my tour. On the shoot Des provided the best and yummiest nibbles from my favourite chow place in Tamworth. What a top guy, I think so highly of him and have no end of compliments for his etiquette.

Thanks Des, round two was sensational! :D

Casual bonkersness and a whole bundle of fantastic creative harmony - that was my recent shoot with Des in a nutshell. But in actual fact, such an outstanding blast of a day is difficult to contain in a few words so here goes:

Des is, without question, a photographer who would put a smile of joy on any models face. He made considerable effort to offer the best hospitality and make me feel completely at ease; possibly the kindest and most courteous person I have had the sheer pleasure of working with to this day. Aside from the definite respect he gives to models, Des is a great deal of fun to work with! He had a visual idea of what he wanted to achieve but was so free and relaxed when it came to sharing innovative input and welcoming my ideas too. The entire day was a prolific spin of productivity as we played catch with the most bizarrely wonderful suggestions.

The formal side of the shoot was absolutely flawless: Des communicated exceptionally and our shoot wasn't planned with excessive notice but the arrangements went so smoothly and the discussion was (almost) as delightful as the shoot itself! Professional approach is certainly imbedded deep in his etiquette, he took on each set with the patience of a star and carefully adjusted lights to nail the best possible outcome with each moment and style. There are so many reasons to recommend Des as highly as I do, he is a true gem and I cannot wait until the next opportunity to work together. :)

Thanks again Des,

Des is one of the nicest people I have ever ever met!

I had a shoot with him last Saturday... We did some location and then some indoor stuff.

What a great few hours I had, very relaxed and we had a good chat. I could have stayed with him chatting for hours!

I dont think he realises how good he is - I love the images I have seen on here!

Very professional caring and a true gentleman

Thanks Des and I cant wait for our next shoot

Highly Recommended x
