Dave attended a winter group shoot which was ran by Natasha Oliver. Great photographer, with a very creative eye! Can’t wait to see the images! Very easy to chat to, very sociable!. Highly recommended and can’t wait to work with each other again soon

I held a group shoot at a lovely wintery Christmas feel location which Dave attended too!!

Dave is great to talk too, friendly and easy to work with, he brought something different to the table which I loved, it was only what I can describe as a mermaid see through circle, it created flair to the image which I thought was really unique.

He was great on the group shoot, socialising and having a laugh which is always a plus on a shoot.

I would recommend Dave to anyone!

Thank you again for coming today and I am sorry we got kicked out of spoons lol.

Had a fantastic shoot with Dave! He is such a nice, genuine, artistic guy who was great company and gets great results. We had a really collaborative shoot and I loved going with his instincts because he has a great eye for a shot! I really recommend spending some time with Dave and doing a shoot with him because he has a real passion for capturing personality and truth in his photos.

Had a really great shoot with Dave today! He is incredibly talented and so easy to work with. He had plenty of creative location ideas and we ended up with some fantastic images.

Pre comms were great, Dave was very organised and we were able to communicate different ideas back and fourth, this really made it feel like a collaboration which I really appreciate.

We had great conversations throughout the shoot, he remained incredibly professional and we managed to get a really varied selection of photos.

Cannot speak more highly of Dave and would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great shoot!

Being new to the game I threw a casting call out for a TFP shoot. Dave responded and we came up with a plan. The pre shoot communication was great with ideas back and forth before we agreed on both a location and the style I wanted to go for. On the shoot Dave was super chilled had ideas popping and was more than happy to try out some of my ideas too. I would highly recommend Dave. He is a chilled guy, showed up on time and made me as a newbie feel comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot.

I would happily work with Dave again and recommend him to others!

I was on a portrait x water based shoot where I met dave, he was so quiet and humble which perceived only as maybe shy.

I started talking to him and I was simply blown away when I saw his images on his Instagram, I think he even saw I was amazed.

this is an industry he belongs in without a doubt firstly and secondly I promise if you work with dave you will not be disappointed.

What a fantastic shoot! Just absolutely bloody amazing :)

Dave and I first shot on a 1-2-1 tutorial with Jon Downs a few years ago.

Dave has come such a long way since we first shot, his creativity is just fabulous. Got so excited about the images i saw on the back of the camera.

Super chilled, friendly, chatty and totally professional and respectful.

1000% recommended by me.

Thanks so much

I put a casting call up to request a photographer last minute and I'm so pleased David responded.

David is really friendly and very relaxed. We had a great shoot and visited several locations - every photo was just incredible. I'm so excited to see them!

Can't wait to work with David again! Highly recommend.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting with Dave at Nymans National Trust Country Park.

Pre communication was great. We both went into the shoot knowing what we wanted to achieve but still left plenty of room to explore different ideas.

Dave was kind enough to pick me up at the station and drive us to the location. Dave was friendly, fun and very professional. We had a laugh and despite the bad weather, some amazing images!

Overall, I had a really fun shoot and I can’t wait to see the final images. Pleasure working with Dave and highly recommended. Very much looking forward to our next shoot!

Thank you x

Had a wonderful shoot with Dave recently. He is an incredible photographer with a very creative mind and an overall fantastic person to work with! I had a great time wondering around The Lanes, finding little spots to shoot in and felt very comfortable throughout my time with him.

Would definitely recommend and would love to work with him again someday!

Shot with Dave and another photographer, Jana, a short while back.

Had a great time shooting with Dave, he is a very relaxed guy and I felt entirely at ease for the duration of the shoot.

It was planned, but not overly, and so we shot in a studio and also outdoors.

Wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, highly recommended

David is the most sincere pleasant gentlemanly photographer i feel i have ever met. Our shots together were stunning really setting the bar high for other photographers we worked with. Loved every moment while we shot and he got the looks we were after perfectly. Knows his editing skills well, really understands about angles and most of all just a genuine person with a lot of kindness to give we need more Davids in this world

I love Dave! I met him for the first time at a Portrait X shoot and we got on well from the moment we started talking. He has such an easy going manner which makes you warm to him from the very start.

The shoot itself was so much fun. He has really good ideas and directs you well so you know exactly what he wants. So helpful for a model like me just starting out. Also very creative and never afraid to experiment. He also saved me from falling straight into a large bush of stinging nettles!!

I could not wait to see the photos he produced and I loved my photos. Such amazing editing, it was a dull rainy day but you would never know looking at Dave's photos. Thank you so much Dave. I can't wait to work with you again. Only in two months time, but it cannot come soon enough!

200% recommend Dave!! He's amazing xxx

I had the pleasure of modelling for Dave at a PortraitX photoshoot yesterday. He's a lovely guy and a fab photographer!

I would recommend him to any model and look forward to working with him again in the future!

When i met david at portraitx we got on well and he was easy to talk to, and he took some great shots of me after irene finished my makeup and helped me get into the outfit and flower crown. we were both at a loose end, and asked if he could take some shots.

Davids photos were amazing after he shot them and a few days later, when they were edited. would like to work with him again in the future on some solo shoots. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other models and group shoots.

When Dave booked a shoot with me whilst I was touring in West Sussex I was very pleased and excited about what we could create together. After seeing his portfolio I knew that with our skills combined we could produce some stunning imagery.

Pre shoot comms were perfect and we discussed ideas/styling too. I really liked dave's ideas and it's clear he knows a lot about photography/retouching despite his young age.

I was shocked when he collected me on the day at how young he is, you don't often get that in this industry especially not to the standard of his skills too.

Conversation flowed from the offset and from the very first set we were off to a wonderful start. Dave uses some cool gadgets to produce the striking effects he captures in the images, I was so impressed. His ability to be able to portray a feel/story to the images is amazing, his composition, knowledge of natural light and his editing is all done to an exceptional standard.

I am so pleased wight he results we got that day and I can honestly recommend him to any models who get the opportunity to work with him,

An all round friendly, down to earth guy, talented, professional, respectful and a pleasure to spend time with.....what more could you ask for?

Thank you again, Tillie :)

I had a really nice shoot yesterday with Dave! We met in Brighton and had an amazing time wondering around finding small spots and enjoying the good weather. His ideas were positive and creative, and I felt comfortable and welcome to add some ideas too. He was easy to talk to and I had a really lovely time. Would highly recommend!

Dave was really great and easy to work with, still waiting on the completed images but have no doubt they'll be great! 100% recommend to anyone wanting to build their portfolio or get some awesome new content

David contacted Nemo and myself recently about attending one of our location events, and naturally we were extremely pleased that he wanted to join us! We'd also heard very good things about him from a mutual friend, so were very keen to see what he could do at our urbex location.

Upon arrival David was extremely down-to-earth, chatty...and was really just SO likeable! Then he got down to work...and OMG!!!!!

It's very rare that I'm rendered speechless, but David genuinely has a gift. I've honestly never seen any BOC shots quite like his, as they were genuinely unbelievable..and having Nemo jumping around and buzzing with excitement only backed-up my thoughts about his work!

We'll keep his little tricks and tips a secret, but he has a knack of taking the slightest little object or idea and breaking down the walls of convention to produce something truly breathtakingly good.

We were SO lucky and privileged to have David attend our event! Nemo and myself were talking about his images all the way home, and we can honestly say anyone he works with is REALLY in for a treat!

It was a great way to spend a couple of hours, with an EXTREMELY talented guy! We look forward to seeing more of his work, and REALLY hope he'll join us again to produce some more magic...as he is an absolute pleasure to be around!

100% EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
