Dave attended my self hosted duo day at Silkwood Studio and he was a delight to work with! From the get go he was easy to get along with and brought a lot of ideas to the table. The time flew by and he truly was so easy to have in the studio. Would highly recommend working with him and the images I have seen so far are breath taking! :)

My second shoot with Dave was an absolute joy and a half. We picked up where we left off after our first one with the conversation flowing as it so often does with friends. So much so, I have to tell myself to zip it so Dave can capture some shots because it's a travesty not to when Dave's results are as strong as they are.

Dave is a super human to be around and has fast become one of my favourite people to shoot with, always friendly and in the mood to chat and he's a complete hoot to be around with laughter most definitely being the order of the day on our shoots. Not only that, but Dave is always professional with a fantastic eye for what works.

The energy in the room is always one of positivity and enthusiasm which puts me completely at ease and helps me truly express myself in the way that I need to in order to create the quality of shots that we always get.

We worked on several set ups and the results are wonderful with beautiful lighting for each and every mood and look.

I would absolutely recommend a shoot with Dave, today, tomorrow, next week, and every day after that.

(Thanks also for the lift Dave)

Always a pleasure working with Dave - we've had 3 shoots so far and already scheduled our 4th one! Super easy to work with, always having a laugh on our shoots and ALWAYS end up with heaps of incredible images! Can't wait to work with you again!

I will struggle to put into words how well me and Dave collaborated on our shoot or how I felt during. Dave is just an exceptional human being with a great photographic eye. We had 5 hours together in a versatile space and we bounced ideas off of each other creating so many incredible images with the wardrobe I brought with me.

We were weird together and laughed a lot, he really knows how to create a comfortable work environment where people can thrive creatively together. I know that I can’t wait to work with him in the future already and I feel exceptionally lucky we had the opportunity as it’s been a long time coming!

Is it even possible to have yet another amazing shoot with Dave?! Why yessss! It absolutely is! I had a great time yesterday shooting new content together with a mixture of bridal and boudoir and yet again Dave has exceeded all expectations and knocked it right out the park! He never fails to take such timeless and beautiful shots of me and these images really are something I’ll treasure when I’m an old girl! Dave took me to the most stunning location by which I’m very honoured that he would want to use me as a workshop model for his events here. A wonderful and kind gentleman and a crazy good photographer to boot. Although I’ve only really known Dave just over a year it feels like we’ve known each other a lifetime because he really is that personable and easy to work with. Such a breeze! Thankyou yet again for another magnificent shoot!

Best wishes and always highly recommended by me

We did it again! We knocked the ball reet out that park!!! I’m gonna have to be banned from writing refs because we’ve worked together so so many times already! The time just flies by and before we know it we have a brand new concept to work with! This time Dave styled me! Now that’s always refreshing and certainly makes for a nice change than me going though my wardrobe as vast as it is, it’s so nice to have a change! We did two very string and contrasting looks at Zavod yesterday including an awesome bright hair set at the end! Dave is one of the easiest most outgoing photographers you can wish to work with and he always delivers killer shots! A lovely guy, down to earth and a true artist and professional. All round fabulous!

Thankyou for yet another amazing shoot! I can’t wait for the next one… oh wait it’s not even that long away haha! Cue another positive ref! Always well deserved and always highly recommended.

Best wishes

I shot with Dave at Zavod in Sheffield and he was more than pleasant, I felt very comfortable shooting with him very enjoyable shoot and the first of many I’m sure! The hours flew by and already planning another shoot 😊

Marie Jean Saxton

In the short space of a year, Dave and I have shot together many times already. He’s an amazing creative to work with, beautiful lighting, incredible angles and seamless post production. A genuinely lovely guy to work with. We’ve had many laughs and many adventures. This time we kept it simple and shot from my home studio using both the new boudoir and new backdrops. What an excellent mixture of images we got! Never a bad shot taken of me through David’s clicky box and I always look forward to seeing what he creates from our images each and every time, and this time is no different! We always leave room for cake and chat too haha!

A wonderful photographer for models of all levels to work with if you haven’t done so already… or if you have, do it again! Daves images are a fabulous addition to any portfolio including my own! I’m looking forward to projects new in the future. Watch this space!

Always highly recommended by little old meeee 😊❤️

Thankyou for yet another incredible shoot 🙌

Best wishes

Dave booked onto my studio day at Zavod Studio in Sheffield, and boy am I glad that he did!

From the very get go, Dave and I got on incredibly well, both creatively and personally, I was very surprised at just how much common ground we shared, which allowed for an incredible 4 hours of creativity! We managed to get through so many sets and chatted the whole way through!

Dave is a fantastic photographer and delightful person, I could not recommend him enough and I do hope that our paths cross in the future as I feel we’ve only just scratched the surface of what we’re capable of creating!

All the best and thank you for a memorable shoot!

I worked with Dave for the second time on Monday and we had a brilliant shoot!

Dave is an absolute pleasure to work with and I was very excited to shoot with him again due to the high quality of the images he produces and also he’s fantastic attitude.

Dave is always wanting to try new things and wanting to better himself which is very refreshing and fun to experience as a model. Dave has such a big variation in his work yet he seems to pull off every shoot! He also enjoys experimenting with the lighting which allows us to try different looks in the same set.

Dave always gives great positive feedback throughout the shoot which helps immensely! I would definitely recommend shooting with Dave for so many reasons,I adore the images we created on the last shoot and what I’ve seen so far of this shoot looks so lovely!

I worked with David at Zavod yesterday and I had a blast. He was Informative patient and a joy to work with. I feel after this shoot because of Daves tutoring I have learned a lot that I think will make me a better photographer. Would highly recommend working with him he is a true talent.

It was a pleasure to participate in a photoshoot led by Dave Linford at the wonderful Zavod Studio in Sheffield, themed as a fashion & beauty lighting workshop with Xenia.

Dave was welcoming and supportive, and it was great to exchange ideas with an experienced colleague. I was delighted with the range of lighting set-ups he arranged, and got many excellent shots.

It was a relaxed, enjoyable and productive photoshoot, and I am happy to recommend him.

I absolutely adore working with Dave! By far one of my favourite people to work with and when we get together we Just bounce off each other with creative ideas. He's so easy going, down to earth, professional, passionate and so bloody creative! Never had a bad shoot or set of image's from him and over the year's he's become more like a friend.

Our original idea to shoot yesterday got cancelled due to the rain so instead we did a home shoot at mine and I can honestly say we got some super images that I'm so excited to see and share! The sunbed set... What a shout!so fun and creative!

Can't wait for our next one!

Xeniamodel

I just love working with Dave.

Whether he books a studio, whether he shoots another model, or if I am modeling for him - we always have an amazing time.

Besides, Dave is a real pro and so stupidly talented.

Can't wait to work on future projects together with you!

100% recommend

Incredible photoshoot with Dave today! He picked me up from home, drove all the way to the location and it was filled with fun and laughter even though it was freezing cold! Can't believe how many amazing images we've got and can't wait to work with him again!

Marie Jean Saxton

What can I say about my favourite cake companion, except for he’s a fabulous and versatile photographer to work with. This time we shot a wide variety of maternity looks from my home and as usual Dave nailed every set! I’ve already been wowed by a couple that have appeared since our shoot and it’s so

Lovely to know that images of me at my pregnant state have been taken with great care and thought. Always a pleasure to have working in my home studio, lots of fun, takes his time getting the right shots and works alongside you to get the best out of every shoot.

A photographer I would highly recommend for any model to work with of all levels wether you’re new or pro.

Thankyou so much again David.

Best wishes

Worked with Dave for the first time on my studio day at Zavod in Sheffield- so happy he booked on! We've been admirers of each others work for quite some time so to finally shoot together was great! We really clicked, we got some smashing images and he really brightened my day!

100% recommended and hope to shoot again!

This was the first time working with Dave and omg I am so happy we got to work with eachother. His sense of humour got me in stitches, could not stop laughing 🙈💖 I love how you can click with someone straight away and have the same level of craziness. He is so professional and knows what he wants from his shoots. His images are so incredible and always beautiful done. I really hope we get to work with each-other again, 110% recommend Dave. He is one of my favourite photographers to work with. Thank you so much.

Love Fran
