Another great creative fun shoot with David. This time the theme was an 80s Rubik cube theme. Very crazy, different, and a lot of fun. David is very friendly and makes you feel welcome, and at ease. A great Photographer with some wonderfully creative ideas. I look forward to seeing the end results!

Had a great shoot with David and his girlfriend who helped assist the shoot. Both were very friendly and welcoming and made me feel at ease. The shoot was very different and creative and the time went very quickly. I really enjoyed this shoot and look forward to seeing the final images. I would be very happy to work together again at some point.

Had a fantastic shoot with David today. After following his work for a long time, I was super happy to finally get to work with him! Pre-shoot communication was excellent and everything was organised for meeting on the day. David was attentive throughout the shoot and fully explained how the shoot was going to go. He was happy to give direction, but was more than happy for me to move through poses. Back-of-camera shots look fantastic and I can't wait to see what photoshop magic will do to them! Highly recommended photographer, and a down to earth and friendly guy. Can't wait to work together again in the future!

Had a great shoot with David. He chose an interesting location that not all photographers have access to shoot in and knew every part of the station he wanted as a background before I even arrived.

He made good suggestions and is easy to get along with which made the photoshoot a lot more relaxed than some of my previous ones.

The time went by really quickly and we got some really good pictures. I would definitely work with him again.

Worked with David recently at a secret location doing a futuristic shoot where I was playing the part of an air hostess with an outfit all made to measure and awesome props that David made himself!

It was a long evening shoot and we worked the whole 3 hour straight and honestly the time just flew by, almost as soon as it started it was all over! I had an awesome time, and David along with his very helpful assistant checked I was doing okay throughout the shoot which was greatly appreciated. He even brought choc biscuits!!

So much work went into this project, not only with regards to all the designs he did himself and the all the awesome futuristic props (he literally thought of it all!), but also with the amount of physical planning that went into actually making it happen was really inspirational!

Had such an awesome time, and definitely won’t get another chance to do it again but I really hope that I will get to chance to work with David again some time!!

Very highly recommend

I had a London Underground shoot with David on a Sunday evening. David was super organised and so knowledgeable. He didn't leave anything to chance and it was nice to work with someone as organised as me!

The post production images look great and I had fun shooting. It was easy and laid back and I didn't feel rushed. David gives direction and is open to ideas. I had a great time. Thank you David

Had a wonderful shoot on Brighton Pier with David.

His pre-comms were great and he showed ready to go and enthusiastic. Though initially we were unable to do what we had planned, we powered through the wind and cold to get some great shots. David was great with direction and also allowed me to take some initiative and do my own thing. He was constantly letting me check behind the camera to see what we liked/what we could change which was quite refreshing.

The communication after in regards to picking/editing photos was brilliant too.

Overall my shoot with David was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would recommend working with him 100%. He kept conversation flowing, is very likeable and just general good company, with the amazing shots we got being a bonus!

I loved shooting with David and the images are incredible. He made sure I was comfortable, had somewhere to change and was happy at all times. He has an amazing eye for a great image and the whole experience was just so much fun. Would love to work with David again and thoroughly recommend working with him if you get a chance.

I recently did a photo shoot with David and I am very pleased with how the images turned out!

David left me a lot of creative freedom with the entire shoot and let me pick the outfit, props and location.

The shoot was quite relaxed and went very smoothly. David was very proactive and we moved from one background to another, switching props often, which resulted in a lot of good and varied pictures, so it's going to be hard to pick my favorites!

The pictures were delivered to me very quickly as well. Since I am a digital artist, I will retouch and use some of the pictures for photomanipulations.

Thanks for letting me take direction for this shoot, David!

All in all, I am very happy with the shoot and I highly recommend working with David.

I was approached by David asking if i would help with an idea that he had for a shoot. After reading what he wanted i decided that this was to be a little different, so agreed.

Im glad that i did as David was vert thorough with comms, time, and even done a recce a few time to make sure the agreed time would work. We shot on the tube an a quiet time and Davids idea, timing and location worked perfectly.

David is a super friendly guy and im already looking forward to hopefully another shoot sometime fairly soon.

I had a super fun and somewhat unusual shoot with David yesterday, on the tube!He expertly looked up the train times to make sure everything ran like clockwork, and it did :) The carriages were mostly empty so we had lots of space to shoot and wobble around in heels! The back of the camera images looked great and got good feedback from friends too. Very happy to have taken part in this project, can't wait to try and match different outfits to the other tube lines

Recommended highly by me!

Poor David ended up making a wrong turn on the way to my place for our shoot yesterday but remained super positive and was great at keeping up with communication. We got started quickly and the shoot flew by! Great conversation and good sense of what he wanted photo wise. Was also kind enough to not stick me in the cold for too long! :) Would be happy to shoot again!

I absolutely loved working with David at Art of Wonderland studio. He was an absolute gentleman from the beginning. Communication before hand was more than sufficient and he prepared well for the shoot.

He made sure I was comfortable and getting everything I wanted from the shoot! His images are really high quality and he knows exactly how to manipulate the lighting to flatter you. He can look at an image and understand what needs adjusting without being told.

I'm really excited to get the final edits of our images and I really hope to work with David again in the future!

Had my first shoot with David the other day and I can tell you it wont be my last :)

David is very easy to get along with and is great to bounce ideas back and forth from, which was brilliant as this shoot was quite detailed in what we were both looking for.

Great with direction, communication and just an all round lovely guy to shoot with, loved the look of the back of cam shots so cant wait to see him work his magic on them! Highly recommended!

Leaving another reference as I had another great shoot with David on Thursday. He has some good ideas on his own and is so easy to work with!

I highly recommend him and can't wait to work with him again!

I had the pleasure of working with David for the second time today and we got some great images around the Barbican centre.

I felt at ease and comfortable around him as he was professional, directs well and holds a good conversation.

I highly recommend him and I look forward to working with him again in future!

Bad Dolly

Today I had my first shoot with David who was an absolute pleasure to work with! He has a brilliant concept for the shoot and we worked together to make the best outfits and poses to fit the theme :)

He gave great direction when needed but also let me have lots of input and it was a really fun collaboration.

So excited to see the finished shots and couldn't be happier with the shoot, David is a true gentleman and a fun friendly guy to work with with great creative concepts.

Thank you! xx
