I've had the pleasure of working with Darren, as a photographer on his creative work, for about 10 years. The work has always been creative, innovative, strong, professional and fun. And there's always been a 'very happy' client on set. More...

I had an excellent experience working with Darren. He showed a real understanding of my brief from the start, and remained patient and professional when I made changes throughout the project (which I tend to do alot!
). The final solution impressed me, perfectly balancing creativity with my practical needs.
His communication was always clear, and he was great at taking feedback on board. Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for professional design work – he'll deliver quality results!
