This is the fourth time we have worked together, we have done two duo shoots and one solo before. This time it was a duo with a new model Lou1111 who had applied for my casting call.

Preshoot comms with both models included a fully detailed 3 set plan, as a basis to start from. David came straight from work but was ready to shoot instantly and joined Lou and I just as we started some test shots and sorted out the lighting for the bar set.

We stuck to the basic plan fir three sets, and made lots of detailed changes and shared ideas for props and poses.

We reviewed all the images together as we went and shared feedback and ideas for nand new shots.

David is a pleasure to work with and I fully recommend him, he is friendly polite and communicates well, but is focused on creating good images. He is excellent at role play and has a creative imagination, which works well as it helps the duo build rapport together and have a framework to build on.

I hope we have a chance to work again soon.

Thanks David.

This was our third shoot, our second duo shoot with Princess. As before this was a fabulous shoot, David is so good it neeeded little direction, and we reviewed and improved and extended the shoot as a team.

I fully recommend him.

Thanks again David.

David and I agreed to do a solo shoot after we met when he did a duo shoot at my studio a few months ago.

He sent me images of his ideas for a shoot and he confirmed the shoot a few days before then messaged me to confirm he was on his way. Just how I like it.

We discussed lighting and back drops for his images and settled on the ring lamp, and a grey backdrop. The shoots went well with us testing the shots, sharing the images on camera and adjusting accordingly, learning about the effects we could produce - - some desired some not so desired. We changed outfits and props and I suggested some poses and positions and David had plenty of his own ideas. At the end we shot a few sets that I had requested we try.

It was a short focused and productive shoot and I enjoyed working with David again, he is polite and friendly, he had clear ideas about the images he was after, he was good at picking up details in the images reviews. Yet he is also creative and had new ideas as we went along.

I particularly liked his expressive hands, and his natural, relaxed calm, approach.

Thanks for a great shoot. I fully recommend you.

I would be very happy to shoot with you again solo or duo.

I had a great time shooting with David, he is very good with direction and working with other models.

Couldn't ask for anyone better.

Thanks again for a great shoot David.

I met David through Bella (Princessarodiguez) when she booked a shoot at my studio.

David is an extremly polite friendly helpful guy. His looks are great and he has an understated presence that was perfect opposite Bella. The two were a dream to shoot together.

I fully recommend him.

Thanks David I hope our paths cross again.

I approached David for a shoot involving jewellery and was really pleased when he accepted. Pre-comms were great allowing us to discuss the theme. David arrived fully prepared with a great range of suitable outfits and accessories allowing us to get just the look we wanted.

David was great to work with and is very personable and helpful and was able adjust his pose and look as required and took direction really well. We were able to quickly nail the shots we were looking for which enabled us to use the rest of the afternoon for additional shots. Highly recommended, thank you David for your time and I hope you enjoyed the shoot – Amanda

Had a shoot with David at a class that I was teaching and he was brilliant. He was a joy to work with, and worked well with and without direction. The pre-shoot comms were excellent and David arrived on time and fully prepared.

I especially liked the way that he worked with my students, and there were a few that had not previously shot with a model, and he made it easy for them to take some good shots.

I would highly recommend David and I will look to work with him again in the new year.

Darkchild replied to a casting call at very short notice as I needed to do some lighting tests for a shoot with the Royal Ballet. He was brilliant..on time, understood what I needed from the day and was a really nice guy as well! Highly recommended. I have since done the Ballet shoot..which was very successful and I'll post the final image on here when it has gone live.

Had a great shoot with David

Pre shoot communication was excellent and David even let me know he was running slightly late.

David is very easy to work with and we got some great shots at the derelict location we worked at. I wasn't the warmest of days but David just went with the flow and carried on regardless.

I would differently recommend David to anyone thing of booking him

It was a pleasure to meet and work with David today. Communication before the shoot was great and the shoot itself was both professional and enjoyable at the same time. David was great at taking direction when required, but also very spontaneous in adopting appropriate poses. He had many ideas of the pictures he wanted to achieve but was also open to other suggestions and together we had a very productive shoot producing some stunning, as well as some amusing, images. I look forward to working with David again in the near future and would recommend him highly as both a great model, and a very pleasant person to work with.

I shot with David last week, and he was a delight to work with!

He's incredibly professional and came very well prepared (I asked him to bring 1 suit to the shoot, and he brought 4, as well as a variety of accesories and several other outfits!).

Things didn't go to plan that day, as 3 other models cancelled on me, so we had to work on some concepts that were different than those we'd originally agreed, but David wasn't phased in the slightest and even suggested some alternative ideas of his own.

He's easy to talk to and we had fun on the shoot, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to all and sundry!

Even though it was a brief get together, David is a pleasure to work with. Such a professional and a gentleman. He is a charming male model, who I wish to work with on a longer shoot, if given the opportunity. Happily recommend him to any other models and photographers to work with.

I had absolutely Amazing shot with David, he's very open, friendly and creative. Though we were shooting only headshots, we got something more than that, emotional and true. I would definitely recommend him as responsible and creative model.

I had the opportunity to shoot with David last weekend at a 24 hour charity shoot organised by Festival Studios. He arrived early Sunday afternoon and managed to fit in 4 shoots in a short amount of time, all with very different looks. Whilst my time with David was limited, he was very professional, pulling great poses and fun to work with. Highly recommended.

I had the honour of photographing David while we were both at Festival Studio for their charity event David was very friendly and easy to talk to. I only got the chance to work with him twice and wish I had got to do another set with him. David was very professional throughout the whole time and he started to work once he arrived at the studio despite his 4-5 hour drive down.

I had the pleasure of shooting with David when he attended a 24 hour charity shoot organised by Festival Studio. After a very long drive, he quickly changed and was ready to go...I had the opportunity to shoot him on three different sets and I wish it was more. He is charming to work with, a great character and can certainly pull a pose! If distance wasn't an issue, I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

I had the fortune of shooting with David at a recent charity photoshoot at Festival Studios. David was one of the volunteer models, but unlike most of the others who were local, David made a long journey from Birmingham to Essex. Things were starting to wind down when he arrived,everyone feeling tired. But he injected some much needed fun and lifted things to help us all through to the end.

David arrived with a large case full of outfits and posed with ease needing little or no direction. Would happily shoot with David again and would recommend him to others.

Thanks David :)

Festival Studio

Echoing the previous comments. David drove to us from Birmingham giving up his time to us all for free in support of our Charity Shoot. Clearly made everyone feel at ease, with a great personality. That came across in his posing and the photographs at the end. Excellent model, good wardrobe, deserves to do well. Thanks you David for attending. Highly recommended.
