Wehey! What a fun shoot we had today. Myself and Katarina Marie Mannequin shot with Don today and had a great time letting our imaginations be free to try some weird and wonderful ideas out. We'd discussed ideas prior to the shoot but we decided to go with the flow, which worked really well. He's so creative, easy to chat with, and great at capturing the personality of the model in his photos. Thats not an easy thing to do. I love the photos and ideas we came up with, and I would absolutely 100% recommend Don to other models, hes a superstar

Woaaaaaaaah, this shoot was amazing!

I did a double shoot this weekend with Don and Kelli Kaleidoscope and it was so much fun. We shot in an apartment that Kelli was staying in and Don was brilliant at using the new space to spot images he wanted. He had a whole load of ideas and starting points and a few props but between the three of us these developed and turned into a whole load of new things.

It felt like a true collaboration, with the three of us inputting towards ideas equally. Don knows how to use light and set up a shot and was also okay with me and Kelli going a bit off the wall and putting fishnets over our heads.

I love what I saw on the back of the camera and look forward to working with Don again in some capacity!

At last! Another shoot with Don.... short notice as well.

It was great to work with Don again, he is so lively and great fun. He came up with quite a few ideas for shots this time in a number of genres.....luckily I had enough clothes...;-) The ideas were really varied, through from stylish vintage fashion right up to some fetish/mild bondage work.

Don was showing me the shots he took all the way through the shoot (quite a few comical ones that could be used as blackmail....:-) ) I think there may be some he is happy with so on the whole a successful shoot. Happy photographer = very happy model.

I loved working with Don, although it didn't seem like work, and the time went really quickly. I hope I can work with him again soon, when our timetables collide.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for a great shoot Don

Had an amazing shoot today with Don at my home, and can echo all the positive references he's already got, what a great shoot!

Was lucky enough to be messaged last minute about a shoot as he was in the area on Monday, Pre Coms for the shoot were great and we were able to arrange a shoot really easily! Don is such a lovely person to shoot with, we got on really well and ended up chatting about loads of different interests and ideas to shoot, We managed to fit in loads of different styles in a short space of time and the ideas really flowed well through out the day.

Don is really creative in ideas used on the shoot and it shows in his work, even looking at back of the camera the shots looked great! Really looking forward to seeing the results!

Great shoot and would defiantly recommend!

Absolutely loved working with Don, he took some very beautiful shots and made me feel natural and not posed while doing it. It was a real pleasure to work with him and look forward to doing it again.

He is a true gentlemen and extremely relaxed, I enjoyed our time together and cannot wait to see the ending result.

Had a fantastic shoot with Don at the apartments in MK. Don is great fun to work with, chatty, friendly and instantly makes you feel comfortable. He had his own ideas but was happy for me to contribute mine as I have booked and worked at this particular apartment myself more than 10 times.

Even though this was an evening shoot the images are absolutely stunning.

Thank you so much for a great shoot and I hope to work with again this year

Fantastic shoot the one I had with Don two days ago. He offered great ideas throughout the shoot making me feel relaxed and comfortable at all time. I really enjoyed working with him and I can say I feel really happy with the photos we got. Planning my next shoot with Don already, really looking forward. I would recommend him to any model.

A great first shoot with Don. (First of many I hope!)

His pre shoot comms were excellent and he was very precise about the sort of elements it would contain.

He was a complete gentleman all the way through the shoot and has a wicked sense of humour which made for great conversation throughout. His direction was good and he took the time to demonstrate some of the poses he wanted to achieve. He was creative in the styles and we shot in nearly every room in my house to achieve them. Three hours went too fast!

I would recommend Don...

Thankyou for a lovely afternoon and I hope the images turn out as you hoped.

I had a great shoot with Don the other day. It was out first shoot together and his pre shoot coms were excellent . On the day we wandered around Bristol, mostly going where the wind took us but with an idea of the kind of locations we were looking for. He even showed me some pose ideas for some of the shots. He's got some fantastic ideas and loves to try out new things. He's always looking to create an unusual and interesting image that other people don't have. He's fun, and easy to talk to, and a lovely guy to work with. We've already spoken about doing more shoots together in the future. I would 100% recommend him. Superstar

I had a very lovely shoot with Don, after arranging it quite close to the shooting day. The pre communication however was brilliant and I was left at ease! I had previously seen Don's work and he had come across mine but luckily our paths crossed when Don was travelling down south and had the opportunity to stop in Sheffield. Don had good idea of what he wanted to achieve and we shot both at my home as well as outdoors. Don would ask me my opinion on the images we created which I found was very kind because not many people do! This allowed me to improve the shoot as we go in terms of my posing and appearance, ensuring everything is spot on! We had a good laugh and got on very easily, which made the time fly very quick! We covered a few very different styles and the weather treated us with a nice sun light as well as moody clouds and eventually some rain, too! I think the results were fantastic and I cannot wait to share some of them! I would certainly recommend working with Don as he's a pleasure to be around and very professional at the same time! Looking forward to hopefully another shoot in the future :) x

So I had a brilliant shoot with Don last week!... Don contacted me a while ago and introduced himself ... and we set about organising a shoot!... Communication was easy and detailed enough... we had arranged an outdoor location shoot, which Don trusted me with.... Thankfully we also got some nice weather!!

Don arrived on time and greeted me with a smile!... We had planned to have a cuppa, chat and talk about logistics!, this we did, and I felt like we'd known each other for years!... I felt comfortable around Don throughout the whole shoot!... We decided to try a few locations and all of them delivered some gorgeous results!...

I was so pleased with the images we got... and the last location was awesome... Don worked at getting some lovely shots with interesting crops and framing.... And we certainly had a good giggle!!...

I would absolutely recommend Don to all models, a really genuine person to spend time with and a gentleman. And the photographs we got are awesome!... As you will soon see!!! :)

Don then told me his meeting had been cancelled (his reason for coming to Derbyshire) so instead of cancelling our shoot he drove all the way down from Edinburgh to shoot and travelled back on the same day!... Now that is committed! And a fantastic gesture!...

Thank you again Don.... I hope we can shoot again!! :)

Really great shoot with Don. He was well prepared, despite it being last minute, also very friendly and we got on very well too. Overall the shoot was very laid back and comfortable. Very impressed with his work, with this being one in a small few of model shoots.

Hope to work again!

Thanks :)

I worked with Don on a location shoot whilst I was touring Scotland. Don is very easy to get along with and professional at all times. Pre-shoot comms were great and I felt very comfortable working with him. He had lots of great ideas and respected my privacy when changing etc. The shoot flew by with lots of conversation. I highly recommend him and hope to work with him again when I am next in Scotland :)
