"Duncan Brown has been official photographer at the five awards dinners we have held in Napier. We requested both relaxed pre-dinner drinks photos, on-stage action and posed shots with sponsors in a more formal setting - all have been delivered, as arranged and in a timely fashion. Duncan is easy to communicate with and obliging with our requests. He is a jovial and patient photographer who is a pleasure to deal with."
"I have known Duncan for over thirty years and would always ask him to do any corporate photography I require because of his relaxed amicable approach. I have always been happy with the results and would recommend him to all my colleagues and friends. Because of this we asked Duncan to take the photos for our Resolve website and were very pleased with the result."
"Duncan has been tasked with producing the photographs for the Hastings District Council Civic Honours Awards programme for a number of years.
He received a minimal amount of information from me and had to make all the arrangements to meet the recipient and determime how to produce the most effective photo for the programme.
The photos that are included in the programme are testament to the professional manner in which he approached this task. He interacted with the people in a caring and lighthearted manner which allowed him to get the most out of each subject.
After seeing the completed programme on the night, the recipients were genuine in their praise for the quality of the photographs.
And from an event management perspective, I was totally confident that Duncan would always complete the assignment within the time frame and his work would enable us to produce a high quality programme."
Ross Holden, Event Manager, Hastings District Council Civic Honours Awards
"The most current piece of work that I have had the good fortune to have worked on with Duncan is the Centenary Legacy Trust brochure, for which we have received significant positive feedback. Duncan’s very real professionalism was again so very evident in all elements of; taking (and advising on) direction, preparation, the ease to which he put the students, the taking of the shots and the timely provision of the portfolio from which to choose the picture for printing. I have worked with Duncan in the past and have always found him to be totally reliable and professional in all his dealings."
Ron Rowe JP – (Trustee Centenary Legacy Trust / Governance and Strategic Advisor)
"Duncan, I have had the pleasure of working with you over many many years, especially in the Civic and Corporate side of life, but also in those truly special family and private occasions. Your trademark is your mischievous smile, making people just laugh and relax. The standard of photos you produce speak for themselves...incredibly professional."
