Had a great first shoot with Dave Hammant during my recent modelling tour to Reading/Hampshire at my hired apartment in Reading.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was excellent and Dave gave a detailed description of what sort of themes and concepts we were going to explore during the session. This was great as I knew exactly what to pack and what to expect. He also took down my hat measurements which was exciting too as this meant we’d be shooting in some cool hats as well.

On the day of the shoot Dave arrived and was friendly from the start. He brought along some great lighting equipment and some awesome hats and scarves. We took a variety of amazing looks during the 3 hour session. From portraits to fashion, lingerie and latex we nailed it all. Dave is really good at framing and using flattering lighting. He really knows how to capture his models well and he really brought out the best in me.

110% recommended. Just class!!

I had a very fun experimental Shoot with Dave at Titan Studios. Dave wanted to try out different lighting effects such as shadow casting and gels, with looks such as rocker/biker girl. Dave is very friendly, chatty, and a really great person to work with. He was very kind and accommodating and I felt relaxed and at ease throughout. He is a highly professional Photographer and knows exactly what look/effect he wants to create and what works and what doesn't. The images on the back of the camera looked really great. I hope to work with him again soon. Would highly recommend.

It was my second time working with Dave in so many weeks and what a wonderful shoot it was!! This time around we worked together at my studio; "Heavenly Bodies studio" and had such a great time!!

Dave is such a gentleman, so warm, kind and respectful to work with! He is also extremely knowledgeable with photography and gives fantastic direction and tips to the model.

I also learnt the secret mixture of oils and water in order to create the best shine on the body, which was also healthy to use on the skin! After all of these years modelling I now have a new method thanks to Dave! :P I had just used baby oil or coconut oil prior but now I know different, thankyou so much! :)

Having come from a commercial photography background Daves knowledge and skills are ace! I absolutely loved the images we achieved together and it was wonderful to model the Indian jewellery pieces also that Dave had bought along for a client to show them what could be achieved in the studio.

The art nude and glistening oil photographs were beautiful and I look forward to seeing the uploads! :) Dave was also very kind and so personable to my husband and showed a genuine interest in astrophotography.

I can highly recommend Dave to all creatives, with the highest recommendation. You are welcome back at the studio anytime! Thankyou for a lovely day, Helen & Roger x

What a lovely day! I have just enjoyed a super shoot with Dave. He is a talented photographer and great company, the perfect combination.

Very respectful, as a professional photographer he shows the highest respect and I was without exception very comfortable.

He's interesting to work with as he really knows his stuff and I learnt masses from him... Next time I'll be bringing a notebook and taking notes!

We had great fun shooting different things, he was happy to direct as well as let me do my thing... The shoot felt like a fun collaboration as I felt my input was welcomed.

Can't wait to see the images and hope to start planning the next one soon

Thanks dave!

I worked with Dave for the first time at a beautiful ruin I know in Chepstow! It was our first time working together and I am always a little nervous but needn't have been as Dave was so professional, kind and thoroughly enjoyable company!

The shoot was full of great conversation and laughter and was very relaxed. Dave gave great direction and is an experienced and talented photographer. He brings out the best in the model and knows his light! I absolutely loved the results! I really look forward to seeing the uploads!

Thank you so much Dave, you one of lifes gents and it was a pleasure to meet and work with you. Highly recommended to all! Helen x

Second shoot with the wonderful Dave last week and I originally thought we couldn’t too the first one but lo-and-behold we did! 🙂

Dave is welcome any time here as he is genuinely one of the kindest and caring people I’ve met in a very long time. He has a wicked sense of humour so we laughed and chatted more than we took photos (sorry Dave 😂), and he made sure throughout the whole duration of the shoot that I was happy, at ease and comfortable.

As you can see, Dave is incredibly talented and has an amazing eye and vision, to the point where I just hope I did him and his creative mind justice! We shot in loads of different areas around my home and ran out of time after what only seemed like 2 hours (in fact it was 5!).

Dave is brilliant, shoot with him!!!! 100000% recommended!

I had my first - and hopefully not last! - shoot with the very wonderful Dave recently and wow, what an amazing day!

Dave is one of those people who is just kind to his core, I felt so comfortable in his presence and he made sure I was happy and comfortable throughout the whole shoot.

We shot in various locations with various backdrops/backgrounds and Dave was very flattering about my location. Dave is passionate about the art, talented, engaging, and super fun! What more could you want!

Please shoot with lovely Dave if you get the chance to - you won’t regret it! Thanks for a wonderful day Dave and please come back soon, you are welcome any time!

Had a great 2 hour shoot with Dave on Saturday at Retro Festival in Newbury. Precoms leading up to the shoot were excellent.Dave is a friendly and chatty guy who I felt very at ease with. We spent a couple of hours shooting around an awesome hot rod and then around our Chrysler. He managed to capture some awesome images which I cant wait to see. Recommend Dave 100% to any model. Looking forward to another shoot soon. X

I shot with Dave for the first time this afternoon and we had a fantastic 4 hour studio shoot.

He is a brilliant photographer and gives great direction whilst being more than happy to take on my ideas too. This is coupled with a lovely personality, such a lovely guy with a great sense of humour too, he instantly made me feel at ease as soon as we met and the shoot absolutely flew by. I'm really looking forward to working together again soon, I would highly recommend Dave to all :)
