Derrick joined my Stepford Wives event at the weekend.

I would be more than happy to recommend him to others, he always makes my life as not just a model but an event organiser easy. Always respectful towards the models and no bother at all :)

I look forward to seeing some of the final results, and if I don't see him before then looking forward to hosting him in Spain next year :D

Happily recommended!

I had a fabulous shoot with Derrick as part of my studio day at Paul's studio.

Derrick is so friendly and easy to get along with. The shoot flew by and we had fun capturing some great images.

I certainly hope to shoot with him again soon

Summers Abroad

Derrick joined us on his first Summers Abroad photographic holiday to France!

He fit in incredibly well and it was such a pleasure hosting him :)

Really lovely guy and was keen to share ideas with other photographers on the trip, all in all creating a wonderful group dynamic! Not to mention great company too :)

I can't wait to see some of the final results and hopefully see him in Spain next year!

I had a wonderful time working with Derrick on my Summers Abroad photographic holiday this month!

As usual Derrick was really enthusiastic and keen to bounce ideas off each other to get the best possible results :) From what I saw on the back of his camera we got some great stuff!

Throughly enjoyed working with him again and looking forward to shooting at my Stepford Wives event in London in August :D

I worked with Derrick at papplewick on an event as the model for training photography event. Derrick was fantastic his job was to look after myself and the other model and he did so brilliantly. Making sure we were comfortbale got to have our lunch peacefully and made sure we were warm inbetween shots.

A true professional and delight to be around.

I most certainly recommend him and look forward to working together in the future.

I worked at derricks event at papplewick pumping station last week. My first event for timeline events.

Pre coms where fantastic and everything was arranged and organised way in advance of the event.

The event was a training day for 15 photographers at a really interesting venue with lots of scope.

We were very well looked after throughout the day by all the lovely photographers and event staff.

Such a fun fantastic day and everyone looked like they had fantastic images by the end of the day

Derrick and I arranged a photoshoot whilst I was touring Hampshire. I had use of a photographers home studio whom I was staying with so we decided to use there for the 2 hour shoot. We had beautiful sunshine and after a trigger issue we opted for making the best use of the natural light....and boy is was definitely worth it! The natural light flooded in the studio space and every shot and set up just seemed to work flawlessly. We even shot in the garden too.

Derrick is a lovely person, easy to get along with, I felt comfortable working with him and we had such a great shoot that we even extended to another hour :D

I can 100% recommend him to other models and hope to work together again!

Thank you so much

My first shoot with Derrick at the popplewick power station with my screen wife Scarlett Foxett was an absolute pleasure, I was to play the boilermain and had such fun the whole day between the two groups of photographers that traded between myself and Scarlett

Excellent pre comms, friendly and engaging, bursting with ideas, creativity and matches my own OCD for getting the right shot and and happy to intergrate the models own suggestions giving them as much time and patiance as his own, also very understanding and respectful of the models need to warm up and de-cramp between difficult shots! Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone to shoot with this man as the results are totally worth seeing, until next time :)

Yet another successful duo full day group shoot by Time Line Photography, assisted by Derrick and Neil at Papplewick Pumping Station in Nottingham, duoing with my on set hubby Will Newton :)

All pre comms were fantastic just as the last time, and Derrick worked tirelessly to help the other photographers when needed whether that be on lighting, styling, or location. It’s so easy working with Derrick as he has to be one of the most enthusiastic photographers I have had the pleasure of working with, so much fun, and despite the laughs and chatting we also got some epic shots!

Still very highly recommended,

Scarlett x (Roberto on a Thursday!)

Had a super lovely shoot with Derrick at Pauls Studio in Reading.

He's really laid back and doesn't rush through sets machine gun firing at you. We had a good old natter in between images and I really enjoyed our shoot together.

I am really looking forward to hosting him on one of my Summers Abroad trips next year too :D

Happily recommended by me!

Always great to see a familiar face Rachelle Summer’s Stepford Wives event at The Hacienda in London with Nicole Rayner :)

Derrick arrived beaming and ready to shoot some super colourful sets and a whole load of bright clothes that I think we all needed sunglasses for really haha

We shot some wicked stuff all round the studio, and I saw some brilliant back of cameras so I can’t wait to see the final results. Always chatty and enthusiastic brimming with ideas so still easily recommended.

Thanks for joining us on such a mad shoot,

Scarlett

i first applied to Derrick’s casting which was absolutely months ago now!!

Derrick had really good communication with me about what the idea was, and he would keep in contact with me to the lead up to the shoot ( which at this time was 3months down the line!)

He kept his word and did exactly that. As the time got closer Derrick arranged to meet me and also Neil cove ( timeline events) who was running this event too. Luckily it was very close to home which was an added bonus! It was nice putting names to faces.

Unfortunately Derrick couldn’t be there on the day but it still went very smoothly regardless & even a couple days before the shoot Derrick checked in with me. And also the same day as I had the shoot he checked in with me to see how it went etc!

He’s a lovely guy, and I hope to shoot with him and even another event in the future!

Recommend :)

Thank you, ivy.

I worked with Derrick for the second time today at Pauls-Studio! He’s always great to work with, he’s fun friendly and chatty, we got some good shots. It’s always great to work at Pauls studio with Derrick as it’s relaxed and we have many props and backdrops to choose from!

Thanks for another great shoot. I look forward to working with you again and hopefully seeing the images soon!

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!
