After working with Dave a few times on various group shoots and also on a recent duo with another model and photographer, we had been discussing working 1 to 1 for a while but just never got round to it until we finally managed to the other day and it was well worth the wait! Dave prepared a mood board for us to work from beforehand and we worked through our own versions of the images we both liked and also did a few of our own ideas as well and it was a really enjoyable shoot throughout, where the time just flew by!!

Dave is great to work with both on a 1 to 1 basis or in a group shoot as he adapts to his surroundings really well and is great at coming up with some various ideas as well. We also had the added pleasure of working with one another the following day as well at a charity shoot at Rochester Studios once more, we clearly just can't get enough of working with one another!

I would highly recommend working with Dave and I'm sure it won't be long before we work with each other again! :)

With Dave and I having previously met when he was one of the photographers at a group shoot, we arranged a one-to-one session at Rochester Studios; the brief was to shoot a variety of styles from fashion through to art nude. Dave prepared a mood board of art nude poses which I found incredibly helpful, and we started the session recreating those poses that we felt would work best for my physique. As the shoot progressed we moved on to fashion and dabbled with a little lingerie set.

Dave is a joy to work with. He was well prepared in terms of lighting equipment and was very exact in getting the effects he wanted for each shot. His communication pre-shoot was exceptional and his manner and attitude on the day were both professional and respectful. Dave has already sent through some of the edits and I’m delighted with what we created together.

Truly an gentleman and highly recommended.

My shoot yesterday with Dave was wonderful. He made me feel so comfortable and supplied me with tea- bonus point! It was my first shoot ever so I was a bit nervous and stunted to start, however soon enough I gained confidence and was naturally posing for his camera- all thanks to him! I would definitely recommend shooting with Dave and I cannot wait to see the photos!

Another fabulous shoot with Dave. Dave is an excellent photographer. He is also a lovely chap and so easy to work with. Always a pleasure to work with him.

It was a pleasant suprise to see Dave at my shoot the other day with Gino and Marcus and work alongside him as well. I’ve worked with Dave a few times all on group shoots and it was nice to work with him more on a 1 to 1 basis as well. We do also have a solo shoot planned together next week so very much looking forward to that!

Thanks for coming along and will see you next week! :D

I had the great pleasure of working with Dave for the first time last week, and what a pleasure it was! So many laughs, a lovely little group to spend 4 hours with, and some brilliant images too... a perfect shoot!

This was Dave's first duo shoot, but you would never know it. He had no difficulties at all directing, lighting and photographing Kelly and I as a duo, and the lovely images achieved speak for themselves.

It was so lovely to be able to contribute and share ideas, and to work throughout the shoot in a collaborative way. I honestly believe that this is the key to achieving the best images, and shows that everyone involved really cares about getting the best results.

I recommend shooting with Dave without hesitation, and really hope we get the opportunity to work together again in the future :)

Myself and Bex White did a duo shoot with Dave and Roger Nolan at Rochester Studios.

Pre-comms were great and Dave had even collected together some posing examples in the form of a mood board on Pinterest. These were very helpful ideas that we incorporated and even tried to recreate during our shoot. Dave is highly professional, easy to talk to and work with and gave brilliant direction.

The photos on the back of his camera and the final images I have seen so far are outstanding. The lighting that he set up in the studio on each and every set captured me and Bex perfectly. Dave is a pleasure to work with, and the shoot was very successful indeed! The time absolutely flew by!

Totally recommended by me!

Dave came along to a shoot I had with another photographer at Rochester Studios - due to having a bad experience with another photographer on a previous shoot I felt a bit uneasy about working with a relatively new photographer at the studio even though I knew it would be safe there as I've worked there in the past I felt like I needed someone there that I knew just for moral support if anything and Dave very kindly stepped up.

He helped the photographer out with the light set ups and was there to check I was alright throughout but also was happy to stay out of the way and let us get on with the shoot, but be there for any help that the other photographer needed.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to him for being there, it really helped me to feel more at ease having someone there I knew and before too long I was getting back into my stride again. Dave is a really great guy and he (along with all the others at Rochester Studios) really cares for the models he works with and alongside, even if he's not directly working with them and that really means a lot - especially under the circumstances.

Thanks and looking forward to our next shoot soon! :)

I had a great shoot with Dave during my recent visit to Kent. He immediately made sure I was comfortable and had a warm changing room to put my things in, and we shot a wide variety of images with lots of different themes and lighting. He's very easy to talk to and work with, and I'd definitely work together again! I love the images I've seen- highly recommended. :)

Dave arranged a shoot with me at the Rochester studios. He was really organised and clear throughout comms so I knew it was going to be a good shoot from the off! He was a great host and made sure I was well looked after throughout, meaning I could focus completely on my work. Dave gave good direction whilst I was posing and knew what he wanted to achieve when I inspired him. Definitely a collaborative experience! The pictures I've seen so far have turned out excellent because Dave clearly knows his stuff.

Really loved working with him and would do so again at the drop of a hat! :D

Thanks Dave!

I've worked with Dave several times now on shoots such as Jack the Ripper, James Bond and the most recent one I did yesterday with latex. He's a fab photographer, and a really lovely guy as well which makes him a real pleasure to work alongside and I very much look forward to the next time! :)

I have worked with Dave a couple times now, most recently on a Liquid latex group shoot. The shoot was fun and relaxing and full of ideas. I'm so pleased with the images. Another successful shoot, Recommended :]

Dave was one of four photographers at a James Bond themed shoot. He is very professional and has produced some brilliant images from the day; he built up a great rapport with the models and is someone I’d recommend you work with given the chance.

AnmeAtrocious

Had a lovely shoot with Dave. There was great communication leading up to the shoot and on arrival the studio was already to go. We went over various styles and ideas and I am pleased with what we have achieved :]

Dave is a wonderful photographer, and a very kind and easy to get on with gentleman, with a great sense of humour.

I Recommend working with Dave, and look forward to working with him again.

Thankyou, Anme :]

Had a great shoot with Dave, he knows what image he wants and gets it. Really enjoyed working with Dave, and hope to do so again in the future.

Not only is Dave a top class photographer, he is also a fantastic guy. The shoot was a long and cold night shoot, but that was all forgotten. He is a joy to work with. The photos are stunning. Thoroughly recommended.

Worked with Dave during a group shoot with various other models, actors and photographers during a Jack the Ripper shoot at night following the exact timeline. Dave was very professional and respectful of the others on the shoot and it was a real pleasure to work with him. I’m loving the photos I’ve seen so far and looking forward to seeing others.

Thanks again, I would highly recommend him to work with.

I was fortunate enough to shoot with Dave twice in one day at Rochester Studios for a latex pull shoot (which I was drafted in for last min compliments of the MUA team) and for a Jack the Ripper shoot which was shot over night.

Dave was great to shoot for and certainly captured some different angles to the other three photographers on site. I contacted Dave post shoot for some of the edits, which he kindly offered me access to and use in my portfolio. I look forward to working with him again.
