Another amazing shoot with David but this time at Crossroads Studio! He is an amazing photographer, who is truly talented and has a passion for creating great images. The images looked amazing behind the camera like they always do and of course would love to shoot with David again!

Highly recommended :)

Had a lovely shoot with David yesterday at my home. I’d be happy to work with him again.

Wow ! Had the time of my life on my first shoot with Dave !

He came extremely prepared with different outfits and accessories, vintage and modern, for any preference!

This photoshoot was the best I had so far because it has literally been very similar to ACTING.

Lots of giggles, David is so much fun and respectful at the same time, I really appreciated the fact that he asked me if I agree everytime he had to arrange something at my outfit/hair !

I definitely recommend David to any new model, he knows how to make a model be at ease and he's able to entertain literally ANYONE on this planet haha

Looking forward to see the results and to working with him again!!! It's a blast!

David's pre-comms were great, he actually dug me out of a hole by noticing a casting mistake on the run-up to the Studio Day with Maryna.

Upon arrival, and despite traveling for the early bird slot, David arrived in good spirits with a smile, which of course puts everyone at ease when they're meeting for the first time and ensures models and co are instantly comfortable - I actually just read Maryna's reference, which of course echos this too. Having shot a little BTS during his slot, he was encouraging and enthusiastic with Maryna as well.

I shall look forward to his return visit.

I am very happy with my shoot with David at Splash Point studio in Rhyl, Wales today. David showed up with a big smile and a nice mood and our shoot went smoothly and in a relaxing way. David is a pleasure to shoot with, he likes to play with the shadows and I was enjoying his attitude to me as David made me feel very comfortable and encouraged me with the words of praise .I wouldn't be even happier with our shoot as David treated me very well, so the photos are so great as a result of it. David has a great and warm personality and I am really looking forward to shoot him again, thanks David

Highly recommended to shoot with, 100%

Had my first shoot with David today , shot from my home. He is 100% professional and so friendly and easy going . Moving onto shooting wow the shots we got were amazing , absolute pro at what he does . We covered lots of different styles from portrait to implied and I couldn't be any happier with the results . Can't wait to see the images you choose to edit when you post them Dave . Absolute pleasure working with you and can't wait to work together again soon.

David-Clayton is very bubbly, chatty and there wasn't at all any awkwardness (we're both chatterboxes and both passionate about art). Had a fun shoot and network session.

I would 110% recommend David to work with! He is one of those people who just brings the energy to every shoot - this is the 3rd time (actually it could be the 4th - I lose count) I’ve shot with David now and yet again it was a blast! Had a wonderful day shooting some outdoor fashion and implied nude around Marple with David. He’s always prepared with snacks and has a fabulous attitude towards life and art. I’d recommend spending time with David wether you are an amateur who has never shot before or a professional who is 30 years into their modeling career - he will make you feel welcome regardless.

Due to Covid-19 we did have to wait to organise the shoot but we got it now and it was well worth. Such an amazing time as usual and I can't recommend David enough. Organised, reliable, so easy to work with and a fantastic photographer. What more could a model wish from a photographer?

On top of that David brought some amazing outfits and I have to admit his fashion sense is sooo good ( even good as mine =D) I am definitely amazed. The shoot went brilliant, the communication was excellent, David was on time ready for the shoot and we managed to shoot on several locations in Manchester.

Would happily come again and I can't wait to work with David again. Thank you everything and my very best wishes, Elena

My third time shooting with David today and what a pleasure it was… due to the last minute organising of this shoot we had to wing it a little and hope for the best but honestly… I think it might have been our best shoot to date!

An absolute pleasure to work with as well as being great with comms pre during and after!

Definitely recommend anyone to shoot with David should you get the opportunity and looking forward to seeing the outcome from today!

I'm writing this while travelling back from my first shoot with David and am already planning the next. Should you get the opportunity to shoot with him, don't even think twice about saying yes. Working with him was everything a photoshoot should be.

David is a brilliant communicator. He was very clear with what he wanted to achieve, what he wanted me to bring, how to do my makeup, and the looks he had in mind. He had planned out not only the location but the exact spots that he wanted to use in it, and he brought a marvellous collection of clothes and accessories which were a lot of fun to play around with. The shots that he showed me on the back of the camera were beautifully composed and a sensitive response to the shapes I was giving him.

Best of all, he was a lot of fun to spend time with, as well as obviously being very serious about his art. He's the kind of photographer to whom you absolutely want to give your best work.

David is one of the great photographers and I was lucky to work with him for my first outdoor shoot. He is good at time management, an understanding person and has great sense of humour! One thing I wouldn't forget about him was his advice "Modelling is not glamorous." 😂

As he also loves women's fashion, I appreciate his effort for bringing a gown, dresses, hats and two pieces of fabric. He also made sure that we had a great location by finding a very nice place (Newborough)!.

I highly recommend David and hope to work with him again! 😊

David is an amazing photographer and made me feel comfortable as soon as we met, with a big smile and a relaxing aura. We originally planned to shoot in Manchester, but due to very unpredictable weather we had to postpone, this was easy enough and for a time that was perfect for the both of us.

The location chosen had a wonderful moody atmosphere, perfect for my style. We even have some ideas for future shoots together, with some more moody gothic-like styles.

I couldn't recommend David enough, a wonderful person to work with, such a light hearted individual with a genuine joy for photography.

Woke up this morning, to find out David has a casting call - a window for shoot.

Since I have worked with David before (and seriously could not believe that someone has stood him up) - I did not think twice to apply for his casting call. And just to be double sure, I contacted him via other media, too.

And thankfully all the stars fell right - and we met today afternoon in Manchester to enjoy the sunny day in yellow fields and discovering possibilities outdoors, we managed to create some really wonderful, joyful, wide range variety of images - starting from fashion, editorial and some art nude as well. I feel like I have truly lived today after our shoot.

David ALWAYS brings wide set or outfits and props and you just really have to be yourself ready to enjoy the beauty of changing and fitting new looks and flirting, posing through lense to create a mood and dancing in those big floaty dresses.

I would grab every chance to shoot with David if I possibly could.

And although we experienced some technical issues - it did not faze us at all - and we moved on to the next set and managed to discuss next ideas for summer.

Highly recommended photographer - to both beginners and professionals - he is fantastic person to work with and super soul to talk to.

David is a breath of fresh air, he's so upbeat and fun to work with, you can't not have a great shoot. The time flew by and his images are just stunning, I can't reccomend him enough!

MiaBeth

Another great shoot with David, he brings so many wonderful props and ideas, well worth working with!

Blackswann_Modelportfolio

And one more amazing shoot with David.

And I’m always admire - how prepared he always arrives - with tons of props and ideas - and the job for me as a model lifts so easy then .

No pressure at all - we have now worked few times , and we like to try new things and experiment.

And even on our little brake we managed to achieve excellent images.

Also directions given when and if needed .

Highly recommended photographer - and very much looking forward to our next shoot .

Thank you very much indeed .

I had an absolutely incredible shoot with David and got to try out a style I'd always loved the idea of - horror, in the form of a ghost bride! As cold as the costume was creepy, it was a really fun shoot and we came out with some incredible photos! Can't wait to work with him again.

Miss Drucilla Embers

Had my first shoot with David today and what a gentleman he is!! Not only is he a lovely person but an extremely talented photographer to. David has some fantastic creative ideas and also brings along a bag full of props/clothing, he is really easy to get along with and brings lots of ideas to the table! We had so many giggles along the way and some awesome results! I would highly recommend him to anyone and look forward to working with him again soon
