"I would not be the model I am today if it wasn't for Darren. He took me out of my comfortable cosplay zone and grew my confidence to work in a professional studio. Not only is he the KING of lighting, but introduced me to working with animals, latex and so much more.. All whilst having so much fun on set. I love working with Darren so much. I cry if I can't shoot with him once a month at least. He always gets my edits to me quickly whilst maintaining such a high quality! I can't recommend him more as a photographer."

"I shot with Darren performing art nude. Darren came with a clear concept in his head about what he wanted to create, and he directed superbly from behind the lens. He was also receptive to suggestions, and we worked together to produce some exceptional art nude sculptures. The images, that he produced, were sensational and some of the best images that Katy and I have been a part of. I would recommend this guy, he is one of the best..."

"Well what can I say? This guy is fantastic! I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Darren today and it was truly fabulous. Darren knows what he wants in each shot/set and knows exactly how to pose and direct a model. Love his creativity and we just bounced ideas back and forth. Such a variety of shots were achieved because Darren sees the potential in any space and can make any backdrop look incredible.

A lovely person who I always feel really comfortable around, it's great to catch up every time we have a shoot. He has a very creative eye and is a natural with the camera, I always love what I see on the back of the camera during a shoot! It was a pleasure to do a pregnancy shoot with him as it's such a special time and I think we captured some great shots, he also made sure I was comfortable throughout which I really appreciated considering the big old bump! Highly recommend of course."

"I don't even know where to start with this reference, Darren and I have worked together over time for so long now. I know when I get the message from Darren I'm in for something different, be it riding on a bull outside a bar or spending half hour lubing myself from head to toe to fit into some super tight latex. This time is was the latter.

Darren is one of the most down to earth, talented photographers I have worked with over time who always delivers outstanding results. I have so much fun shooting with Darren which I hope carries over to our images. He even brings sweeties! Obviously Highly Recommended from me! ♥ <3"

He never fails to make me feel completely comfortable throughout the whole shoot and always checks to make sure I am never feeling uncomfortable at any point.
