I had the pleasure of hosting Derek and his wife Sally on my Budapest photography trip recently, and they spent five wonderful days exploring what the city has to offer. Pre-communication was great as we discussed in detail the locations they wanted to visit and the results Derek aimed to achieve.

Fast forward to last week, Derek and Sally arrived in Budapest. During their five-day stay, we shot at various locations including the metro station, Fisherman's Bastion, the Sweets and Selfies Museum, and took photos of the Parliament from every possible angle, just to name a few. We even used one of the stunning flying dresses at Fisherman's Bastion, which was a lot of fun and resulted in stunning images.

We enjoyed the warm weather, delicious dishes, and had so much fun together. Derek is very easy to work with, albeit slightly grumpy when we had to walk long distances, and Sally was an amazing help on the shoots and great fun to be around.

Thank you, Derek and Sally, for a memorable five days. I hope to see you soon, whether in Hungary or the UK!

Peter's Cave.

Derek used the studio today for the first time and was very professional in the way he used the studio and in the way he interacted with the model. Derek is fun to be with and is creative with his ideas.

We shot at my home, he arrived on time and overall the shoot was lovely. Pre-comms were excellent and this photographer is particularly skilled in capturing the image correctly, from using natural light to his shooting advantage and then keeping a close eye when lighting changes to adjust the capture.

Evidently I was very impressed with this photographer's shooting techniques and I am keen to work with him again on future projects.

Highly recommended!!!

Another great shot with Derek, the third one now :)

Derek organised a 1-2-1 shoot with me at Aura studio in Newmarket to focus on multiple exposure/slow shutter speed/movement/rear curtain sync style images.

His pre comms were excellent and we discussed a variety of options based on what Derek wanted o achieve.

On the shoot Derek was relaxed, warm, fun, professional and focussed on the job whilst being friendly, chatty and engaging with myself and the studio owner.

This style of photography is difficult to achieve and takes time fiddling with lights to get the desired result. Derek was totally calm and relaxed during our 'testing' phase, letting me suggest things as well as being flexible to changing things around.

Derek picked a challenging shoot style but totally smashed it, creating beautiful and interesting images which Im really excited to see.

I highly recommend Derek and look forward to future shoots! :D

My second shoot with Derek over weekend at studio in Clackton. What can I say, Derek one of the most photographer who I feel totally comfortable around him. He is patient, friendly, kind and gentleman under his professionalism.

We had quite different session this time, and my first body paint which I was quite enjoy it. We were happy with result as playing around with different probs.

I would not have any doubt to recommend him and for sure I'm happy to work again. Thank you Derek.

I had my shoot with Derek today. What a lovely man he is. We went to farm house studio near where he live. He is a sweet gentleman who very passionate about what he is doing.

Pre-comms were excellent, he was very patient and we tried different ideas and themes. I really enjoyed the shoot and we laugh a lot. Derek is easy to.work with, professional and always give you a good feedback which make me feel comfortable.

The fact that I turned up an hour early as my silliness messing up time. 😉😜. I am more than happy to recommend Derek and looking forward to work with him again in the future. Thank you for having me Derek. See you next time. T x

I worked with Derek in an Erotica shoot in Ipswich. Really pleasant fellow. I would have like to talk with him more but due to the presence of 3 other photographers working at the same time our conversations were cut short. He worked flawlessly with the other photographers and really seemed to appreciate the creative journey. I would happily recommend him! Thanks for coming to the workshop Derek!

Ayla

I worked with Derek when he attended one of my 'erotic duo' workshops at my home in Ipswich.

Derek was fabulous to have around, worked well within the group environment and he has a great eye for beautiful contrasted arty images which suited the narrative of the images we were all looking to produce.

Thankyou for attending Derek and I hope to shoot with you again!

Highly recommended

I have beautiful shooting with Derek yesterday where he come to home studio and do bodypainting :)

Derek very respectful and lovely to work with and I think so much we make most beautiful pictures from this day.

Recommend Derek again and will look forward to work with again sometime. I cannot wait to see results, they look so good on camera that he also allow me take selfies for story I do on insta :)

Bodypaintart

Great to see Derek again and work alongside him. This time, for bodypainting, which, IMHO went absolutely superb and we got stunning images from the day with our, as ever, fabulous model AmberJosephMay.

Derek soon got settled into the art of bodypainting a human canvass and I think the results will speak for themselves.

I am already looking forward to the next idea's we have come up with to do while doing this one.

Great to see Derek again yesterday here at my humble abode for Amber Joseph May's event.

Always welcome, and it was a real treat to see his wildlife portfolio he brought along to show me. A real WOW factor, and serious jealousy to boot!! Great work indeed.

Highly recommend...Derek booked me for a nude shoot with another model. Derek is really fun to be around and good with banter. Derek was friendly, chatty and professional. Derek didn't mind showing the images from his camera each time in order for me to get the perfect pose.

Angie-Marie

Had my first nude shoot with Derek and another model and was great fun, he was chatty & funny from the beginning and had a very easy calm way about himself, and knew exactly what and styles he wanted and had a great eye for detail

Would love to work with him again and look forward to seeing the images
