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!

The shoot was very relaxed the first time working together but the time flowed by smoothly & we got some great results.

Pre com’s great I found Derek polite & professional very easy to work with.. giving great direction if needed to get the shot.

Just gets better and better working with this lovely gent.

3 hours simply wasn't enough, but in that time we managed to fit in most of the ideas we both had after Derek applied for my casting for Bodyscapes and gel lights.

Pre comms excellent and only arranged last week!

Derek is truly a lovely, polite, professional chap whom I love working with, and always look forward to what we achieve.

Highly recommend working with Derek if you get the chance, he's a star.

Until the next time.

I had a lovely relaxed shoot with Derek at his home studio setup. He was incredibly polite and welcoming which is essential when working together for the first time. He had a great setup with two different backgrounds to use and we got some fabulous photos. Would definitely recommend Derek to any model wishing to get some headshots or portraits done.

Yesterday I had another wonderful shoot with Derek, this time an outdoor Christmas lights shoot. This was a shoot that both of us wanted to work on for a while now and I jumped at the chance to add another night shoot to my portfolio and also to work with Derek 🙂.

Pre comms were spot on as always and we met in Skegness where we knew the town would be well lit up. Derek had a really good idea on what he wanted to achieve and I didn't need much persuasion dressing for the festive feel as it really did get cold!

It didn't take us long at all to get what we wanted and some added extras, before we finished up right by the sea front and arcade just before taking shelter for some warmth and a nice warm drink.

Thank you once again for a great shoot and a very successfully year of shoots together. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 😊

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Derek on Monday for the first time in my home. Derek had explained to me beforehand the style he was hoping to achieve so I was able to plan and prepare well! Derek had everything we needed for a studio style set up, and we achieved some amazing shots together! Derek is lovely, professional and has a great eye for detail. I am so pleased with the photos and am happy I could help Derek achieve the shots he wanted. I stupidly forgot about school holidays so my children were home and had to say hi. Thank you for your patience with my youngest and for making his day taking his photo like his mum! Hope to work together again real soon.

So yesterday me and Derek had a very special shoot arranged indeed, we had managed to book ourselves into The Two Wei Location House for half a days shoot and what can I say, we were like kids in a candy store!

The place was absolutely breathtaking and a joy to work in and we had a lot of fun looking around and shooting in various rooms. We mostly made use of the beautiful natural light coming through the large arched windows combing a mixture of levels throughout.

Derek and I always work wonders together as he is very laid back and open to any ideas that you throw at him. He was also an absolute Saint in giving me a lift there otherwise I probably would not have made it

This shoot was a long while coming for us and I an so glad to say that we finally made it happen 😁

And I would always 100% recommend anyone to work with him as I would work with him again and again in a heartbeat everytime.

Thank you Derek for a wonderful shoot and day out, mission succeeded 👍
