I had the pleasure of working with David during a studio day. His preparation was impressive; he provided a detailed list of clothing options, demonstrating a clear vision for the shoot. David’s creativity was infectious, making the entire experience enjoyable and productive. His calm demeanor and positive attitude created a comfortable and inspiring atmosphere. David is a skilled photographer with a natural talent for working with natural light. I wholeheartedly recommend him!✨✨

Now, I have met David on a number of occasions on his shoots at Basford Hurst cottage, so I was thrilled when he once again asked me for a shoot, almost exactly a year since our last one so it was only right we had an anniversary shoot haha!!

As always David was fully prepared for the shoot, sending me plenty of ideas and a detailed shoot plan. Our initial plan was to get up in the early hours and capture some images at sunrise... sadly the great British weather put a stop to that... However, instead we managed four wonderful hours at Basford where we worked through a number of sets including some lifestyle boudoir, a 'sporty' themed set ... some classic art nude and a set involving my corn snake Noodle. Throughout the whole shoot David was more than respectful of me as the model and was very happy to listen to any ideas I had. He was always keen to show me the back of the camera and I was thrilled with what we were creating!!

David pays a lot of attention to lighting, composition and setting his camera up correctly (something that us models really appreciate!!!), he's great fun to work with and talk to and I always feel very at ease with him. He even let me scoff Trifle at 9:30am ... so... Can't be bad right!! :P

I would of course highly reccomend David and I very much look forward to seeing the edits from todays adventure!! Thank you so much David, I look forward to seeing you again soon!!!

This weekend David came back to Basford Hurst Cottage to work with the incredibly talented Fanny Muller.

As always all pre comms with David were great and he made everything very easy to organise indeed!! He arrived on time with everything he needed for a great shoot!! David always has loads of ideas pre prepared for a shoot and he works incredibly hard with each model to bring them to life, this shoot with Fanny was no exception!!!

David is a wonderful person to have around here at Basford and we would of course highly reccomend him!! Thank you David, see you soon!!

Both myself and LEnza have worked with David before (myself several times!) so it was lovely news when he contacted to book a lot on our most recent duo studio day at AURAphotographic. After a detailed pre-comms shoot schedule, we knew exactly what to bring with us and how the shoot would progress throughout the 2 hrs, always handy on a studio day as they are such long days requiring many many outfits usually! I’m looking forward to catching up with the images as I get through my admin filled break, and I v much look forward to shooting with David again soon (we have 1 shoot already booked in, and 1 more in the works!). Thanks David, another great shoot with you and I look forward to seeing your face again soon!

Very happy that David decided to book a slot during our duo studio day with Beth Kate at AURAphotographic.

It was my second time working with him , the first was again during a workshop with myself and Beth as models.

Pre-communication was brilliant! He provided us a list of items/clothes to bring and style he wanted to shoot. This was very helpful in preparation for the day and on the day. First edits from the shoot look great and I can't wait to see more. I hope we can work together again sometime soon! Reccomended to any creatives :) Thank you David!

David came back to Basford Hurst cottage last week to shoot with the incredible Ayla Rose for the afternoon. It was a pleasure to welcome David back to Basford, he arrived on time with everything he needed and after a chat and a catch up him and Ayla began shooting.

Once again David worked incredibly hard to capture many amazing images of Ayla, working well with the available light on a sunny day to produce some truly wonderfully composed shots!!

David is polite, friendly and great to have around - We would of course highly reccomend him and really look forward to seeing the final edits! Thank you David!! :D

Had a wonderful shoot with Charlesphoto! It was a truly collaborative shoot - easy going - and full of silly laughs and jokes. It’s important to me to have fun as well as being creative on a shoot and I truly feel we had both! I recommend Charlesphoto for sure / I look forward to seeing the results. X

Had a great first shoot with David, from the get go communication was excellent and I knew what to expect on the day. David's shoot plan was certainly very detailed, right down to the wardrobe he wanted me to bring and time he wanted to spend on each set. David is friendly, professional and hard working, we made great use of Basford Hurst stydio on the day with many different outfit changes and sets. Back of camera shots looked good and I'm looking forward to seeing the final results. Can highly recommend to other models and studios, thank you David

Having worked with David before, it was a pleasure to see him once again on Michael Morris’ natural light fine art workshop hosted at Basford Hurst last week! As ever it was so easy to work with David and create magic, of which his BOC was testament to throughout the whole day. Dave pushed himself throughout the entire day to capture truly individual images and work in a manner he previous hasn’t. Both indoors and out we captured some fantastic images together and I truly look forward to seeing the final results in due course. Thank you for joining us Dave, it was an honour to have you on board and I look forward to working with you again on day soon :)

David came to Basford Hurst Cottage to take part in a two day natural light photography workshop hosted by Michael Morris, Beth Kate and Lenza.

David arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. He is polite, friendly and great fun to have around!! He worked well with Michael and the models throughout the workshop and was respectful of his fellow photographers. He really paid attention to what he was learning from Michael and made sure to put into practice what he was learning.

I would absolutely recommend David and I hope to see him again soon! Thank you David!! :D

David attended Michael Morris’ natural light fine art workshop hosted at Basford Hurst a couple of weeks ago.

First time working with him, it was great!! We created beautiful images using the natural light. He pushed himself out of his comfort zone, showing his adaptability, creativity and talent.

Professional, kind and friendly all the way through. I really hope to work with him again and I absolutely recommend to work with him!

Thank you David :) Valentina

Having met David at our open day back in April, it was an absolute pleasure to welcome him to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with studio owner Miss C.

Pre comms with David were great, we had everything organised easily and promptly and David was easy to communicate with throughout.

David arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. He was incredibly respectful of the location and the model at all times and made sure to ask if he needed anything throughout the day.

David is polite, friendly and easy to talk to and would be welcome back to Basford Hurst Cottage any time - In fact I look forward to welcoming him back very soon indeed!!! Thanks David!!

After meeting David at the Basford Open Day, it was an absolute pleasure to get to shoot with him here!! :D

Pre comms with David were fantastic - David provided me with a detailed shoot plan with everything he wanted to achieve during our shoot. This included ideas for sets for fashion, art nude and mild fetish.

Shoot day came and David arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. David was an absolute pleasure to shoot with - We worked through lots of ideas and he allowed me to pose freely while providing direction as well. David was so easy to talk to throughout and was keen to hear my ideas. He was completely respectful of me throughout the shoot and made sure I was comfortable.

I would have no hesitation to recommend David, I saw so many incredible images on the back of the camera just using the natural light!!! I look forward to seeing the edits and would love to work with David again soon!! :D

I had a fab 2nd shoot with David last week, this time at AURA (Weedon). Both David and I have worked there several times before separately so we knew it was the right spot to get the images we wanted to achieve, mainly of a dance/art nude nature. We did have a slight mishap/panic on route (separately) as we both got caught in the never ending traffic caused by an accident on the local motorway, but somehow I arrived just in time still and then prepped as much as i could ready for Davids arrival soon after. David had made a concise plan pre-shoot which he had shared with me a fair while ago and so we have time to discuss this back and forth before the day, allowing us to be as prepared for the 4 hours as possible. This worked really well as we had a lot to get through. It was loverly working with David on the sets we had planned; some were an extension to what styles we had previously shot at mine and others were totally new to us as a team. David was also v keen to progress his technique in dance photography including jumps and movement, which we all know requires a different skillset and often lots of patience. David had this in abundance and was very keen to take on my knowledge of shooting this the best we could- and boy did we get it! As I said last time we shot, I would love to work with David again and also recommend him to any other prospective models, studios or event organisers 😊 Thanks David!

It was wonderful to shoot with David again and we had so much fun! He had put a huge amount of effort into planning everything, sharing and discussing ideas for the day in advance. As a result, we both had a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve and everything went so well. Whist knowing just what he wanted giving clear direction, David’s humour and kindness made the day fly by and the results look as amazing as ever. Thank you, David, for another great shoot! I totally recommend him to anyone lucky enough to shoot with him.

I had a really wonderful shoot with David!!! It had been far too long aince we created art together but I think we 100% made up for that with this fantasticly productive and enjoyable shoot!!

First off, David's pre commes are always great and super detailed!! Particularly useful when on location and have to prepare towels appropriate shoes etc!! I felt totally prepared and had a clear idea of what we were soing, location timing, everything!

It was a very early, sunrise shoot, and I wouldn't call myself an eaely bird but David brought a wonderful energy and enthusiasm which was great to work with!! David had chosen some wonderful locations which had already been scouted - though David couldn't prepare for the line of 17 photographers lined up with tripods all pointing at our chosen spot. David wasn't phased, he asked me if I was happy to continue, with the dull intention of going to a new location was I not happy to continue shooting- i was and ao David went and asked each photographer if they would be upset by our being there, and well, the girls and Frank being out. Luckily no one opposed and we were able to shoot!!

The light was great, location fab - and David put ao much into his compositions- which wasnt an easy task clambering ovwr the rocks ! he was great ! The images are great! - This continued for the next two location! We had a wonderful variation of ahots and wonderful walks in-between!

David is always respectful and considerate of the models needs, plus he is bery easy to talk with and guenuinly enjoyable company !! I can't wait for the next one!

Highly recommend by me!
