Peter Alexander - Hi Darren
I am Sammi’s Dad and I want to tell you that although she is beautiful you have done an exceptional job of capturing that retro part of her personality and enhanced her beauty. What a great layout. I wish you much success in this business…you either have it or you don’t…you got it buddy
Regards Peter

Kasey M Williams - Oh Daz these are simply breath taking. I especially love the “Darren rocks” on the game board, what a great little touch

August 18, 2010 - 5:05 pm

Paula Wilson - ohhh I agree with the comment that these are a sensational series of images and should be snapped up for a magazine layout seriously amazing talent and work

August 18, 2010 - 5:01 pm

Terence Kearns - “Exceptional results. Very artful. It’s all about the picture “making” rather than the picture taking. A very successful collaboration. Every good photographer has to be part project manager. Your article does Toowoomba tourism a great service. They should do an editorial piece with the images.”
