I’d been wanting to work with Derek for a long time so was chuffed to bit when he book a slot on a duo day I was hosting with Retro Rob at Open Space Studio.

Derek’s photography is very good and I knew that we would produce great images together. He arrived with a lovely smile and plenty of cool ideas. We covered a dance sequence before moving onto to art nude. The time flew by as I knew it would. Derek has a really great approach to working with models and is very friendly, inclusive and collaborative, ensuring he gets the most out of the shoot.

He’s already loaded a stunning image and I can’t wait to see more from the shoot. What a top guy, I really hope to get to work with him again some day :)

Retro Rob

Another killer shoot this awesome Photographer this time at Open Space Studios with the model Melany on the Retro Rob and Melany tour .

Having worked with Derek before I knew this was going to be another awesome shoot and it sure delivered once again .

Derek is such lovely guy and extremely talented Photographer he bought some amazing ideas to the table creating not just images but pure art .

Derek's attention to detail is incredible he ensured that not only did he capture the magic but that we both got to see what we were all creating from the back of the camera which was pure magic .

Thank you so much for a brilliant shoot my brother I can't wait to work with you again soon .

Have known Derek for a while now but it was great to have finally seen him round the studio today for Elle J's studio day.

Never a dull moment with him. Models will certainly get on very well with him and his vast knowledge of photography means they will receive stunning images.

Thanks for coming Derek. Until next time.

I met Derek at a Chris Conway event where I was a photographer and we got on so well. He is really talented and knew his stuff with photography. I was really pleased that he booked on my studio day at Catfish Studios and couldn’t wait to work with him.

His pre comms were awesome, he showed me ideas he wanted to create. He arrived on time, was polite and chatty. We worked through different sets and ideas in the studio area with different lighting and I loved working with him. He is really talented and I would highly recommend working with him. I hope I get to work with him again. Thanks Derek!

I think I’ve wrote about 3 references for Derek but forgot to press Done everytime!

Hehe.

I worked with Derek at my recent studio day at Map studios and it was such a good few hours. Derek is so friendly, genuine and a really good photographer.

He was so relaxed and chilled and I felt so comfortable whilst shooting, It was really enjoyable modelling for Derek as he let me flow through poses and was very receptive when I suggested an idea which he rolled with :D it’s so nice when you can let your creativity loose and properly collaborative.

Thankyou for an excellent shoot Derek!

Highly recommended from me and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

I am absolutely made up that me and Derek have now shot together on a 1-2-1 basis. Having briefly met on a workshop some months ago and being impressed by all six of Dereks shots he quickly grabbed, I was eager to work with him properly. I certainly haven’t been disappointed and wow does he know his way around lighting and post production. Derek came and worked with me at The Boardroom I. Derby and the location suited his way of working beautifully. He fit right in and we created some absolutely marvellous shots that I’m already very proud of having seen one.

Great guy with a killer sense of humour and the nicest you could wish to work with.

Absolutely recommended by little me.

Thankyou hun!

The lovely Derek is such a gent, so glad he booked in to shoot me again on a 2-1 at Mick Payton studios. He is a very talented photographer too as I know from previous shoots, it is always such a pleasure. He has a good sense of humour and fun, we were (well I definitely was haha) dancing around to spanish music haha

Derek is always thoroughly recommended by me, he is a top photographer and top person

Highly recommended :-)

Where can I start? There are far too many great things to say about Derek!?

This was the second time Derek has came to work with me at MickPaytons workshop in Walsall. Again, he turned up on time prepared for the autumn weather with his coat and hat and his camera of course! We went outside on location to do some fashion portraiture, natural light in studio and then some Film Noir to finish off with, throughout Derek was professional, quick and efficient as always and before he's even taken the photo he knows exactly what he wants to achieve through the image.

I have also worked with Derek on a location shoot near Birmingham a good few months back now along side three other togs, we did some Art Nude / Landscape concepts and the images to show for it were outstanding as always despite the weather and me falling into a swamp ( HA HA ) I had so much fun. Derek always produces beautiful images with his own unique twist on things and It's lovely of him to send me his finished shots too. He is so easy to get along with, so much fun and I'm never short of a laugh when Derek is around. He is an absolute pleasure to work with.

1000% recommended! x

I hope to see you again soon!

Highly recommended by me 😊

Mick Payton Studios

Derek has used our facilities on many occasions, always good fun and a respectable guy who treats models correctly and knows what he wants from a shoot. Communications are excellent as is his ability with a camera and technical/editing skills. Has the ability to see that all-important atmosphere in an image. A good bloke who's always welcome here. Very highly recommended!

Derek is most definitely one of the cool kidz!!

I had worked with previously so alredy knew what a great guy he was so when i heard that he would be joining us on an event i was modelling for at Mick Paytons studio i was delighted!

Derek absolutely knows his stuff and was fantastic at helping others within the group and sharing his ideas a great team player. His work is fantastic that is evident if you visit his port but aside from this he is soooo much fun to be around and so down to earth. My fellow ginger buddy (even if mine is fake ginge!)

I could work with him over and over and hope to do so again in the not to distant future. 100% recommended by me so if you're lucky enough to get a shoot with Derek don't let it pass by you'll have a right laugh whilst creating awesome images :-)

Had the pleasure of working with the lovely Derek Sweet again!

He hired me along side two other photographers for a location shoot in Sutton Cold-field, unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side but derek powdered through and we had a blast. He paid my rate of pay and covered my travel expenses. Derek is such a great laugh, highly professional and has a great eye for photography! I love working with Derek! Highly recommended always! x
