So me and Derek have been planning a shoot for quite sometime now & I can say it was probably one of the best shoots I've had in my 9 months being in this business ive had in a very long time. Derek is very bubbly and doesn't fail to make you laugh, he isn't a level pusher and prefers to focus a lot on the image. If Derek isn't a professional photographer I'd definitely put him down as one. Communication was great and I'm looking forward to doing a shoot again sometime in the future with him x

Derek came to my studio day at the fabulous, Lincoln photography studio.

Pre comms were great. We discussed ideas prior to the day.

Derek was so super friendly and welcoming! We managed to squeeze lots of outfits and looks into our two out session.

Derek captured some really great images and I’d love to work with him again in the future.

Thank you Derek!

I had another wonderful photoshoot with Derek, showcasing burlesque outfits for my show! Very productive and laid back shoot, lots of laughs but professional. We tried out lots of poses. I am looking forward to seeing the photos! Recommended!

Derek answered my casting call for my Film noir/Femme Fatale shoot.

I have shot with Derek before and his attention to detail and lighting is amazing.

He shot some amazing portrait shots within the theme which he shared with me in camera.

I have not had chance to have a good look as got all ready for trick and treat but rain has spoiled that.

I am quite excited to have a good look tomorrow.

Derek is a lovely professional guy and very skilled in his craft.

110% recommended, book him now.

Thank you Derek

I CAN NOT BELIEVE how long it's been since I saw you last! Thank you so much for coming over for another shoot.

Just like last time, it was spot on organising a shoot with you with straight forward communication (just how I like it).

You arrived on time, so ready to begin we didn't even start with a drink. Making the most of the 2 hours we worked through sets and different locations in the house.

It's a joy to work with you....I can hardly call it work really.

Not a negative thing to say about you or shooting with you and I would work with you again without hesitation.

Highly Recommended To All :D

Worked with Derek for the first time today at Zavod Studio Uk for a shoot with another model, He was really lovely, friendly, professional and understanding when I was having issues with putting in contact lenses. He made good use of the studio and lighting. Would highly recommend and would work with him again in the future.

Derek is such a lovely easy going tog ! Excellent with his communication, polite professional with pleasent conversation. He involves your interaction with the images taken an clearly takes his learning curve seriously. It was interesting to here about his involvement with his studies. He chose some great locations for what we planned for and again this being my third shoot, was a very enjoyable and productive couple of hours. Thank you Derek !

Had my first shoot with Derek today, levels/rates etc where all discussed before the shoot. Had an amazing location shoot walking round Beverley today. I felt super comfortable the whole time and had an absolute laugh. Can't wait to see the shots as I know there's lots of beautiful pictures taken. Lots of communication through out the whole 2hr shoot and worked well together as a team. Plus we saw nesting peregrine falcons. Fab time, thank you Derek. 😊

My second shoot with Derek as he answered my casting for a shoot with a very beautiful white dress. I wanted to shoot out in a nature environment and Derek suggested the eve time when the light was soft but the temperature not to hot. Fab shoot and Derek always shows me the images after each set. He is a very comfortable chap to work with and has a good eye for what's in the lens re shooting if he feels he or we can do better. Thank you Derek carnt wait to see the images !

I had a wonderful first shoot with Derek today at the lovely Micro Pop studios in Lincoln. The theme of this shoot was cosplay, specifically Black Widow and Merida from Brave. Derek's pre-coms were excellent and during the shoot, he was so easy to work with and share ideas with.

We spoke throughout the shoot and with only shooting for 2 hours, we produced so many great images!

Derek also shared the images so quickly after the shoot.

I would highly recommend Derek and look forward to working with him again.

Thank you Derek!
