FAQs

What kind of clients do you work with?

I work with founder-led, fashion, and purpose-driven brands that want to build a distinct identity, tell a meaningful story, and show up with clarity and style. Whether you’re launching something new or evolving your existing brand, I offer a collaborative, insight-led approach that fuses strategic thinking with high-end visual craft.

Do I need to have a full brand strategy before working with you?

Not at all. If you’re still shaping your brand or story, we’ll start with a strategy-first approach through my Talk to Darren offering. If your brand direction is already in place, you can jump straight into The Studio for creative production and content.

Can I hire you just for photography?

Yes — I take on select photography commissions when there’s creative alignment. While some clients only need imagery, I bring a strategic lens to every shoot. That means even photo-only projects benefit from intentional storytelling, elevated direction, and visuals that feel emotionally and aesthetically on-brand.

Do you work internationally?

Yes — I work across Lisbon, London, and Milan, and collaborate with clients internationally. Many projects can be managed remotely, and I can travel for shoots and key brand moments when needed.

How much do your services cost?

Every brand and project is different, and so are the solutions. I offer flexible packages depending on the stage you’re at — from foundational strategy to full-scale campaign production. For more info, just get in touch and I’ll share a tailored proposal or starter options.

Can you work with our in-house or agency team?

Absolutely. I often collaborate with in-house marketing or creative teams to strengthen messaging, clarify direction, or enhance creative output. My goal is to support what’s already working and bring fresh energy where needed.
