Another great shoot with Derek today!

It was my first ever duo with another model and between the 3 of us we had a great laugh!

Derek is lovely and is very professional as always. Derek very kindly picked me up from my address and took me home again which I appreciate. Can't wait to see the photos!

Thanks,

I came to JDL Studios in Chesterfield today with my old friend, @paigetyler, whom has introduced me to this in the studios as my first proper shoot and my first duo shoot with her. It was brilliant.

Derek, made it all the more brilliant. He was punctual, more than punctual. Friendly, down to earth, incredibly professional and skilled in his profession.

I truly enjoyed every minute of this shoot, more to the point due to helping me with it being my first time, and because of this, I didn't want to leave!

I couldn't recommend Derek more if I possibly could because he is an asset to the industry as a TOG.

All my best Derek, hope to work with you again soon!

Josh.

My first shoot with Derek was productive and relaxed throughout.

Derek turned up at the studio bang on time, well prepared and full of enthusiasm.

We had already discussed ideas beforehand so I was well informed as to what to expect.

Derek is a very friendly, chatty person, I felt completely at ease in his company and he was the consummate professional in his approach.

Derek was respectful and thoughtful of both my levels and my opinions on the shots we took which I greatly appreciate.

We took some lovely shots with Derek working hard to nail the lighting.

All in all, a great shoot and I would happily recommend Derek and I look forward to shooting again, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Shot with Derek today at ML photo studio in Nottingham and it was such a pleasure. Derek is such a lovely man and is very friendly.

Pre communications were great, and we had a phone call to discuss and plan everything for the shoot.

Derek is very easy to get on with, and has lots of fantastic ideas, he is really professional, and was very reassuring.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, lovely person and brilliant photographer!

I had the pleasure of working with Derek today at my home studio setup! I cannot express how grateful I am to have worked with Derek for the first time and would jump at the chance to work with him again!!!

Derek is an incredible photographer and extremely professional who keeps his creativity fresh, cutting no corners when it comes to his shoots. He came with his portable lighting equipment and the images looked fantastic from the back of the camera :-)

Super professional, Artistic with a laid back yet hard working attitude making working with him an absolute dream.

I highly recommend working with Derek, and would happily work with him anytime as it was like working with a friend, I would also suggest any model to work with this artistic man.

Thank you so much again Derek as it was a true pleasure :-)

Had a fantastic shoot with Derek. Excellent comms before the shoot so we both knew what we wanted from the session and I could plan appropriate outfits/ accessories.

We shot at the Sunnybank Mills in Farsley and had a really fun and creative shoot. Derek was a pleasure to work with, he really knows his stuff! I was able to pose freely with Derek offering some direction too. We worked well together able to collaborate ideas and come up with some amazing shots. SOO happy with how they turned out.

100% recommend Derek!! Hope we get to shoot again :)

Thanks, Amy

Derek is a very friendly photographer. I wanted some images to update my own modelling portfolio and I liked his style of work. We did the shoot in Lincoln around the Cathedral area and from the quick look and the images Derek has sent they look great.

Highly Recommend

I worked with Derek again after working with him to shoot an amazing Fashion Show to raise money for Cyprus Animal Rescue Centre. I could not recommend a better photographer. Derek is so easy to talk to. I really enjoyed the shoot. I would definately guarantee any model an enjoyable shoot working with Derek. Thank you again Derek

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 is a lovely person. There was lots of giggles and a great mood to be around. His wife is as lovely as him. I would definately recommend working with Derek. He definately is a skilled photographer. Thanks for all you're help Derek

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.
