I shot for the first time with Darren over the weekend at Saracen house studio. Darren was a pleasure to shoot with, he was really friendly and open my different ideas, we were able to get a mixture of shots amongst the chatting!

I really liked Darren’s lighting set up and the images came out lovely,the ones I’ve seen so far have been really nice! I would definitely recommend shooting with Darren and I hope to get to chance to work with him again!

It was a pleasure to work with Darren. He is so lovely, professional, and put me at ease. He was great at communication before the shoot, during and after. Would love to work with him again 😊

I had a lovely shoot with Darren at Saracen House. He's a really easy person to get on with and I felt like I could easily get carried away talking away to him! Good communication and pre shoot arrangements. Looks like he got some great shots. Would definitely work with him again when I'm back this way. It was.... "glorious" haha! If he says glorious all the time it's my fault! Think I started something :P

Darren came to work with me for an hour at my studio day held at Saracen House.

Arranging the booking was so easy with a small brief beforehand of what images he wanted to achieve.

Down to earth, approachable and friendly I enjoyed our shoot time together :)

Thanks,

I've worked with Darren a lot over the years

He has always been a great person to me, a true friend as well as an incredible photographer

He's such an easy going down to earth person and you'll have the best shoot with him

I love every picture he's ever taken of me

Being around him is a pleasure

I can't wait for the next shoot

Hopefully not far away!

I had the absolute pleasure of finally shooting with Darren on Sunday who I have known for quite some time now and is such a lovely guy.

We had great communication prior to the shoot, so we both knew exactly what we wanted to get from the shoot.

He is professional, great fun to work with and was always making me laugh throughout the shoot. He had great ideas and images, which helped me in direction.

I had the most fun on this shoot, so much so it was the best shoot I've done to date.

So Thank you Darren for your time and help. And I look forward to arranging another shoot with you very soon. :)

Highly recommend you book in with him asap.

I had a lovely shoot with Darren this afternoon at my hotel in Northamptonshire. We didn't have much of a plan as the booking was fairly last-minute, but thanks to his adaptability and lighting knowledge, we produced some beautiful images from punchy ringlight portraits to soft, feminine boudoir. Darren is easy to talk to, relaxed and professional - I would certainly recommend him and hope we can work together again in the future.

Had the pleasure of shooting with Darren just last week.

He's such a lovely guy and great fun to work with.

Iv known Darren for sometime now seeing him at exhibitions and shows so knew it would be a friendly relaxed shoot.

Would recommend to anyone and look forward to shooting again with him soon :))

Thumbs up :)

I worked with Darren again at my studio day in Milton Keynes! We only had a couple of hours but we got some fantastic images that I am already showing off in my portfolio. Darren has tones of great ideas is a pleasure to work with.

One of my very favorites

Thanks again Darren

I have been nagging Darren to work with me again for ages!! We worked out that it has been over 5 years since we last worked together due to me moving to Oz and the fact that we actually just hang out more then we shoot.

Darren is always a pleasure to work with. His photography skills since we last worked together have come on leaps and bounds and I am so pleased with the images straight off of the camera.

As a friend as a model I would recommend Darren 10,000% to any model looking for some beautiful images to add to their portfolio.

Thanks again Darren x

I met Darren when he hired my studio for a photoshoot on the 10th Jan. His pre shoot communications are excellent and he arrived on time at my studio.

I found Darren to be a really nice chap, friendly and open. He was also very respectful, especially where the model was concerned and his photography is really awesome.

I would not hesitate in recommending Darren to any studio or model.

He works brilliant with his lighting and really knows his stuff

Best personality around

Ready to have a laugh, will let you go crazy with posing

Wow!

Well what can I say! As always Darren was an absolute pleasure to spend time with and I was so glad when he booked an hour with me on my first studio day! He came in good time, well prepared and with a great idea of what kind of shots he wanted to get which left us with a very clear plan on how to execute them in the time we had!!

As always I would highly recommend Darren and hope to see him again in the future!!

Thanks so much and the photos look great! :)

I met Darren at a Portfolio Builder day organised by Andrew Appleton and Andrew Griffiths at Saracen House Studio for which I was one of the models! I only got an hour to work with Darren in a small group of photographers, he was really friendly and forthcoming with ideas as well as allowing me the creative freedom to pose alone :) Great photographer, and a lovely person! :)

I'd highly recommend working with Darren! And hope to see him again soon!
