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.

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.

I met Dave at the Rochester Studios portfolio builder day. He was lovely and friendly from the start!

Dave let me pose freely but gave me direction when needed. He knew what he was doing and ensured we get good results.

Thank you for being a part of the shoot, it was great working with you!

Dave came to my studio day at Rochester studios and it was a fantastic shoot! We were due to work together a little while ago, but due to the weather it was postponed and I’m so glad I got the opportunity to work with Dave today. Dave is a professional and creative photographer who is friendly and easy to get along with. We managed to fit in many different sets throughout our shoot which was relaxed yet productive. Dave showed me images from the back of his camera and they looked amazing. I would love to work with Dave again in the future and highly recommend him to other models.

I met Dave at a camera club group shoot but Dave was busy organising everyone so he didn't get a chance to photograph me himself so he booked me for a studio session today. He was good with communication. Kept everything nice and simple and let me choose how to style myself for the shoot. Polite and friendly person to work with.

Shot with Dave as part of a small group shoot in February.

Dave came very well prepared with a narrative for the shoot, which gave me a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve. He was friendly and easy to get along with, and the photos from the shoot look great!

I would definitely recommend working with him, and hope to work with him again soon!

Ecce!

I worked with Dave last month at a studio group shoot. Dave is a polite and friendly person, and he is easy to work with! I would happily work with Dave again and recommend him to others.
