I worked with the lovely David finally!

We had already met previously but we finally got our chance on a group shoot at Map Studios organised by Shef.

David was so easy to shoot with, he gives easy to understand direction but allowed me to free flow into my poses and use my creativity. He worked hard to make sure he got the perfect shot, focusing on making sure he didn't crop anything out and asking to re shoot a pose if he did - for me this is a sign of a dedicated photographer and I appreciate working with someone like him :D

He is polite, respectful, friendly and worked really well with the groups dynamic.

Highly recommended and I hope we can organise a 1-2-1 shoot at one point!

I had my first ever shoot with David while attending a models weekend in Sandon Studio. What can I say, working with David was a real pleaure !

I kind of knew David from purple port and his comments that he posted on many of my pictures so it was a great chance to finally see him in a real life and thank him for all kind words :)

David as I thought was a lovely person to work with! Really easy going, polite, with plenty of ideas ! He was really down to earth, cheerful and we got on really really well. The only thing was...that I wanted to call him Charles all the time, I hope he can forgive me this !

Thank you and looking forward to working with you again!

My first shoot with David was quite an experience !

His communication was spot-on and his direction was well communicated.

He was very patient with my lack of head for heights as I clung to the rocks as we climbed the Peak District before sunrise {the good thing was I couldn't see the drop ! }

I am hoping persistence wins through and we have some lovely shots !

Looking forward to working with David again as he is a very well balanced person to be with.

Thank you David.....x

Had a fantastic shoot with David over the weekend. We were up at sunrise to catch the golden hour! He was very organised and gave direction really well. A pleasure to work with and very easy to get on with. Communication was great beforehand, and we managed to get some cracking images!

I would definitely recommend working with David and hope to again on my next trip to the Peak District!

The Attic Studio

David booked the studio to carry out a shoot with a model. Pre shoot comms where spot on. David sent through a very consise shoot plan that enabled us as a studio to set things ready for the shoot.

The details he put in to the shoot not only helped us but also the model.

We assisted when and where required with lighting props etc.

David was very respectful of the studio, equipment and model.

We would highly recommend David to other studios and models and would certainly welcome him back in the future.

I had the opportunity to shoot with David today on an art nude shoot and I am so happy with how things went!

We tried some really interesting and challenging poses and the images on the back of the camera looked fantastic!

Really cannot wait to see them and hope to work with you again soon! 100% recommended to new and experienced models alike.

Thanks so much for a great morning David x

The Attic Studio

David came to our open day at the studio. He was eager to look around and enquire about the studio and services we provide. He was polite and respectful throughout his time in the studio.

We provided a model for the open day and David was keen to work with her but also acknowledged that there were others wishing to shoot and worked and shared the time with them all. He was polite and knew what images he would like to achieve.

We hope to see David back at the studio for future bookings.

I met Charles today, whilst modelling at an open day for The Attic Studio. What a lovely character!

A fantastic photographerwho really knows what he's doing and how to direct a model too. The photos on the back of the camera looked stunning and I'd 100% recommend Charles to all.

Can't wait to work with you again soon!

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with this lovely photographer on my most recent midlands tour!

David is a genuinely lovely person and a great and passionate photographer.

Pre-comms were perfect- David really planned the shoot in advance and sent me a shoot brief plenty of time before the shoot so that we were able to discuss and agree on concepts beforehand. I really appreciated this as it gave me a good idea of what kind of outfits to bring, rather than just taking my whole wardrobe and hoping for the best!

During the shoot, David knew exactly what he wanted and gave lots of direction. We were able to work through many concepts within our 2hr shoot, productively using the time.

Highly recommended and I would definitely work with David again!

Thanks for a fun shoot,

Valis

Had a really relaxed shoot today with Charles through Click Group Shoots. It was great fun, and as this was my second lingerie shoot ever, Charles gave great direction and advice.

The images produced were beautiful and I can’t wait to see them.

I hope to work with him again in the future :)

Fab second shoot with David, he came prepared with lot's of ideas and we had a very productive shoot, shooting a whole variety of style all around Sandon Studio.

David is very easy to work with, and has creative energy whilst also being open to ideas. Together I think we worked very well together & I am looking forward to seeing the images :)

Thank you!

David's preshoot communication was very clear, he was friendly and courteous on the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. :-)

I worked with David at the LFPS Group shoot on Monday, David was friendly, professional and courteous. David gave good direction and and the shots looked great on the back of the camera.

I would be happy to recommend David to other models and hope to work with him again in the future.

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome David to our studio for our model day with Joceline.

He had already popped in for a pre shoot visit so he arrived on the shoot day with an intricate plan and loaded with loads of props.

He was enthusiastic in his work, with a very meticulous shoot plan which time unfortunately didn't allow for.

He was respectful and pleasant at all times and behaved in a professional way.

We would recomend David to any model or studio and he is already planning a return visit which are looking forward to later in the year.

It was great to meet David at LFPS studio group shoot a couple of weeks ago. He was friendly and very easy to work with. Can't wait to see some of the shots we got and I hope we meet again in the future! :)

I have worked with David several times and always find him to be a pleasant, positive and easy-going person who work well with his models and other photographers alike. He recently worked with me on a studio day at Sandon Studio and was very helpful in his pre-shoot comms, arriving promptly, and well prepared.

David communicated his ideas with me really well and we worked together on creating some interesting and beautiful images throughout the time we had together. David made me feel involved and relaxed throughout the shoot, asking for my input as well as having a plethora of great ideas and suggestions of his own. He is a friendly guy, with a good sense of humour and made sure I was happy and comfortable throughout.

I can’t wait to see how the images look once finished, and hope to have the pleasure of future shoots with David sometime soon!

Highly recommended,

Lizzie
