I had the pleasure of doing a last minute shoot with Dave. He is a very respectful and professional photographer with a great attitude and friendly personality, everything you want in a photographer. We met perfectly fine and he even treated me to a costa before we got going- so sweet! Photography wise you definitely want to get Dave on your ‘people id like to work with’ list because he has the patience of a saint and is so creative with his shoots, not to mention brilliant photoshop skills.

Get in whilst you can guys!

Thanks again Dave

First met Dave earlier this year at the photography show, and got talking. Later emerged we had both booked on Martin Newton’s week shooting trip to the Algarve.

Dave is a complete professional. He has amazing ideas which he brings to life through his images and a wonderful passionate approach to his work. He is friendly, easy to talk to, fun to be around, and overall a top man and photographer. I paired up with him during the trip a couple of times, and it was really interesting the different ideas we had, and to see how he works.

He is definately a friend to me after the trip, and I would recommend him to any models. Whether you want beauty or fashion, art nude or glamour 100% go for it with Dave. You will get outstanding results

Photography Holidays

I first met Dave at the photography show and he entered my Win A Holiday, as you may guess he won! After a number of questions Dave said he would like to come along. So glad he did and what a great guy he is. Right from the start he fit in with everyone, even the models started to call him 'family'! It was great to see this as he gave the models trust in him and even myself. He shot in various locations with us every day and produced some amazing images, I'm sure all models are more than happy with the results! All I can say is after us spending a week together I can now say Dave is not only a great photographer but a true friend too. If any model would like to work with Dave don't hold back it will be worth your while. Hope to see him return next year ;)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Dave whilst on a week long trip to the Algarve recently, as well as being an awesome photographer he's a delight to be around.

He's always professional, he had so many ideas, and the images we created were AWESOME!

If you haven't shot with Dave yet, don't hesitate and get booked in with him now!

I am happy that Dave is part of my Algarve family now, and can't wait to work with him again in the near future hopefully!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Dave a couple of times first at the photography show and then working with him for a week in the algarve!

I don’t know where to start this guy is just great! I really enjoyed our sets together shooting some really lovely work! The first photos I got from his were really fast to come back to me after the trip and are my favourite Photos yet! I just love his finishing style he really adds something special to each image! Not only that but he was so friendly and easy to get along with! I do hope this wasn’t the last time I have the pleasure of working with him and if you get the chance to take it as you will not be disappointed!

This shoot took pre-planning, which was smooth because Dave is great at pre-shoot communications. On tge day we did 4 sets in a row with short breaks to refill the bath. Working shoot with Dave is a blast. He's creative and fun and open to your creative ideas should you have any. What's more, this shoot got published. Very happy indeed. I would be delighted to work with Dave again.

I shot for the first time with Dave on 9th December and it was an amazing shoot.

Dave was in contact with me prior to the shoot and was so organised. He knew the looks that he wanted and also what would suit my look.

We shot in a hotel room, and although it was a difficult location, Dave made every shot perfect and I genuinely cannot wait to work with him again!

100% recommended.

The Loft Studio

Dave has been to the studio many times and he's such a fun guy to be around. Great attitude and always treats the studio and his models with ultimate respect.

Dave is a highly talented photographer whos work speaks for itself, and his editing is top notch.

An ace guy who Id have no problem recommending or having back at the studio :)

Dave is a highly professional photographer with an easy direction and approach to his work to create amazing images. Communications were great before during and after the shoot itself. I highly recommend Dave for any model to work with and will definitely be looking forward to creating some new work with him in the near future 😊

I worked with Dave on Tuesday evening and having worked with Him a couple of times before I already knew I was in for a good shoot with some awesome results.

Dave Is a highly professional Photographer whom I would recommend to anyone, including new models. His direction and approach is clear and easy to follow. He is respectful of the models personal shooting space and His communications during the run up to shooting are flawless to say the least.

We shot our series this time, in a little home studio in Colchester and Dave utilised it very well, throwing ideas around and working tirelessly.

I highly recommend Dave, If you see a casting from this man, APPLY APPLY APPLY

Had my first shoot with dave. On April fools day of all days which was quite appropriate for us.

His precommunications were fantastic. He even came round a couple of times.drunk some tea and scoffed the cake :) this guy probably loves cake as much as I do!

His work is amazing so I was really excited and chuffed he agreed to work with me.

For the actual shoot. Plenty of banter. I got dave to pose for me so I could grasp exactly what he wanted in his shots and he let me try some of my ideas aswell. Once we put some music on the poses and shots just flowed.

Can't wait to see the pictures and hoping we can shoot again :)

Highly recommend dave. He won't leave you dissapointed but you'll probably need to get some more cake!

Xxx

His pre/post shoot communications were very clear and well thought out. He had lots of great ideas.

He made me feel very comfortable and it shows in the pictures! I'm so happy with the images we created!

Thank you Dave :)

Sophie Daly Makeup

Dave and I worked together last week on a beauty shoot. He's very professional, easy to get along with and open to ideas, which was great for me to experiment with the makeup!

I felt very welcomed and the shoot was relaxed/fun (plus there was a Easter egg for me at the end of the shoot - brownie points!)

I love Dave's work and his attention to detail.

Hopefully we will work together again very soon!

100% recommend - great high quality images!

I shot with Dave recently at my house, Dave is an amazing photographer and retoucher in his own right. I love his work and he has a really friendly and relaxed vibe about him which makes for a fantastic shoot! I would highly recommend him!

It was 8.30 am on a cold, damp November morning and I was outside modelling tiny dresses, but it was certainly made enjoyable by the lovely Dave!

I admire Dave's work ethic and approach to shooting, which meant we were productive in the short time frame that we had to achieve the images we needed to for the clothing company.

Dave is someone I clicked with straight away, he is kind, friendly, to the point and has great banter!

I enjoyed my time so much with Dave that we even went to a little vintage tea shop afterwards for a chit chat & to look over the images.

Looking forward to working with him again soon!

Thank you :)

I really enjoyed working with Dave last week on the distressed shoot for his forthcoming book. He is fun to work with; friendly, professional and creative. Best of all it was fun working on something quite different to the norm. I have two teaser shots from the shoot already which I am very happy with and can't wait to see the rest of the series in print

I very much look forward to working with Dave again. Recommended
