I had the absolute pleasure of working with Derrick just over a week ago, at the cottage studio in Henfield. He is such a lovely guy, and takes some great images. The shoot flew by, and I am very much looking forward to working with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Today I had my first shoot with Derrick who is a very lovely genuine person, full of creativity and passion for photography. He was really laid back to shoot with and bursting with ideas.

He bought along some great garments for me to try and in our 2 hours we covered a variety of genres and styles without anything feeling at all rushed.

Great shoot, great concepts, great guy and highly recommended by me :)

Had an awesome second shoot with Derrick on a group shoot in Nottingham last week at Papplewick pumping station, which Derrick organised beautifully :)

Wow what a turn out of 15 photographers split between myself and other model, TK*, and we had an absolute blast, and hopefully with all the smiling faces at the end of the day a few others enjoyed themselves too :D

Pre comms were on point, and Derrick was very patient with waiting to hear from me whilst I was was in Portugal, he sent me every piece of information I could possibly need, and the day went by very smoothly without a single problem. Despite the cold he kept moral up and made sure the models were happy at all times as well as the photographers, and we shot in a variety of different locations around the grounds both indoors and outdoors, and he was sure that the models had a good lunch break as well in the middle of the day :)

Thank you for a wicked day, I can’t wait to see more shots from the event and hopefully see you again before too soon!

I had photographer Derrick shoot me the other day at Pauls Studio. He’s 100% professional, easy going, laid back and fun to work with. We have captured some great images and I look forward to working with you again. He also was the last photographer I worked with and I was pretty damn tired, so he done pretty well to deal with me lol Recommended!

Shooting with Derrick during a studio day at Studio Fifty Eight yesterday was a wonderful affair, he is a very respectful and creative fellow who has a fabulous way with his camera - the images from back of camera looked EPIC!

I had a lot of fun with this lovely photographer and would definitely work again with him, I can't recommend Derrick enough to all models :)

I Had fantastic session with Derrick at Pauls studio!

It was an enjoyable afternoon of experimenting with a variety of poses and movement. I loved the lighting set up and Derrick is clearly confident behind a camera. We produced some great shots and I would definitely recommend Derrick and work with him again!

I had a fun packed day with Derrick and his team 2 weeks ago (sorry for the late reference!).

The location was well scouted and interesting, I haven't shot any many historical places before so there were educational elements to the shoot too! Derrick kindly moved us to a warmer space after lunch as shooting outside in the cold and helped pick out outfits .

The event ran smoothly (plenty of tea and biscuits throughout)and I was dropped to and from the station which is always a bonus :)

Would happily work with him again!

Derrick was very organized when it came to putting together our group workshop shoot. He communicated very well and the day went by smoothly even though it was a very long and cold one! Would gladly work together again :)

Derrick booked me as one of the models on behalf of Timeline Events at The Hawk Conservancy in Andover for a teaching day with two groups of intermediate photographers, most of whom had never worked with a model before.

Pre comms were great and all information was given well ahead of time, ensuring the day ran smoothly with no issues. I had lots of fun and Derrick really looked after both myself and the other model.

Derrick is very friendly and great fun to work with,so I would happily work with him again and highly recommend him. :)

Derrick booked me for a timeline event last weekend at the Gunpowder Mills. I'm so glad he did, it was a brilliant day, a brilliant team and group of people and honestly a thoroughly enjoyable experience - Im a big fan of the unexpected and I did not expect anything. The lovely Derrick and his equally lovely wife Dianne picked me up and took me back from the station, I was treated to lovely historic lunch (tasty too) and all the historic reenactment team were so fabulous! I was on stage for a few hours whilst Ray Lowe taught the audience some of his portrait skills, alongside another beautiful model Briar Rouge. And we did some outside work, was very cold but everyone looked after me perfectly! Overall amazing day. Thanks Derrick for being so great. Highly recommended :-D

Had the great pleasure of shooting with the lovely Derrick on my studio weekend at the Natural Light Spaces in Northampton last week :)

Pre comms were awesome, Derrick got in touch early to give me an idea of what he was thinking of shooting so I knew what to brig with me, and he arrived early to get settled in to our shoot, such a chilled shoot, no rush and Derrick was happy to let me have a break half way through.

Throughout our time together we shot a huge mixture of portraits, fashion, topless, implied, lingerie, fashion nudes, and art nudes, and several lighting changes for each set. I can’t wait to see more shots from so many great sets.

Derrick is so easy to work with, he just goes with the flow and the shoot had a super chilled vibe, and it’s gotta be said he has some very cool props!

Easily recommended and looking forward to shooting again in the not too distant future :D

Thank you for a groovy afternoon Sophie, you’re the best :P,

I had a lovely shoot with Derrick at the cottage studio several days a go!

Despite recovering from a chest infection, Derrick coped incredibly well and still managed to produce some lovely shots.

Derrick was kind enough to collect me from home and was polite and friendly from the get go.

He came prepared with some clothes/accessories of his own and had great enthusiasm throughout the shoot.

We managed to cover a number of sets :)

Many thanks for our shoot,

Serenity

I had the chance to work with Derrick last weekend at The Manor House Event organised by Pauls Studio.

Derrick was part of a group of 3, he was very friendly and full of lots of different ideas throughout the shoot. Derrick was extremely easy to work with and an easy person to get along with.

An overall fun shoot.

I would love to work with Derrick again sometime

Thanks again Derrick

After being in the modelling industry for two years I find shoots can get a little boring... doing the same thing, the same dam poses over and over again... well not with this man! It was my first shoot with him down in Reading at Paul's studio and boy was it a good one! He came prepared with a huge array of costumes and ideas and took me completely out of my normal glamour comfort zone! I bloody loved it! He was nothing but charming and respectful the whole shoot and captured some wonderful images. He ensured I was happy throughout and never pushed my levels. Top class photogrpaher and wonderful man.

Can't wait to shoot again.

HIGHLY RECOMENDED - 5*

I work with the lovely Derrick at Paul's Studio recently for a few hours.

Dereick was so lovely to work with, warm, kind and he let me keep a coat he had brought to the shoot which was so thoughtful - Thankyou so much!

We had great fun trying different sets and experimenting with different lights, we shot some dance, art nude, glamour and portraits :D

I had a great shoot and I would highly recommend Derrick! Hopefully we get to shoot again some time :)

Well I had an absolute fabulous shoot with Derrick at my studio day at Paul's studio .

Derrick came armed with fabulous props and ideas to shoot and I literally loved every minute ....

His enthusiasm and energy for creating particular types of shots were infectious and I really enjoyed it all . The time just flew by and I wished we had longer to shoot x

Derrick is very chatty and a real gentleman and I felt completely comfortable and at ease working with him .

He obviously knows his photography and also enjoys it very much x

I had a lovely shoot with Derrick last weeks at Paul's studio...it was my last shoot before Christmas and a great one at that. Derrick came with some fab idea's involving his guitar for a rock chick look and then we worked through portraits, fashion and then art nude.

Derrick was polite,easy going and I felt comfortable in his company.

I would work with him again and happy to recommend to other models out there.

Best
