References for Dave Kerley

It had been years since I had last worked with Dave on a couple of amazing shoots so I was over the moon when he got in touch recently to arrange our third shoot together. This was his first time shooting at adult levels and pre-comms were super. Dave put together a fantastic moodboard beforehand with a selection of reference images plus a shoot plan.

You would not have known that this was his first time shooting these levels as he was a total professional and the photos I've seen are absolutely incredible! We worked with the natural light and Dave snapped away, giving me brilliant direction but also allowing me to pose freely. I felt totally at ease and comfortable throughout the shoot as we chatted and laughed. Dave is very respectful and has a fab sense of humour! The time flew by and it was such a fun shoot! Highly highly recommended by me :)

Worked with Dave when he booked onto a duo shoot with Alyssa Taylor at Kempston Studio, Dave’s pre communication was good and he sent over ideas he had, he arrived at the studio on time and really enthusiastic to shoot

he brought a few of his own outfits for us to wear, made sure we worked within our levels and knew exactly what he wanted to capture

Images we got to see on the back of camera looked great

Would recommend Dave

Alyssa Taylor

This was my second time working with Dave, this time at Kempston studio duo with Georgia Mae. He had good pre comms and was very respectful with levels and limits. Dave arrived on time and we started with some portraiture before moving onto his bloomers theme. The BOC shots looked great and he ensured to perfect lighting and shots. I've seen a couple edits already uploaded and they look amazing - thank you Dave!

Hope to work together again and I highly recommend

AJ the Model

Daavvveeeeeeeee! My first shoot with this hilarious individual at Kempston Studios, he's super easy and comfortable to work with. He had me all buzzing and bubbled up for the rest of my studio day! I had a blast and we got amazing images together.

He bought some clothes and props, had amazing ideas, and worked the angles and lighting brilliantly.

I highly recommend this very charming photographer x

Always a pleasure to welcome Dave to the studio and again a really successful shoot filled with laughter from his model AJ the model.

Dave is really easy to get on with and the shoot time flies by and he adapts sets and images to get the best natural look from the model. Love the ones he has uploaded so far of AJ.

Always chatty and respectful to his model the studio, its equipment and myself I can't recommend Dave enough.

Speaking to a few models who have shot with Dave they all seem to enjoy the experience and would happily shoot with him again.

Alyssa Taylor

This was my first shoot with Dave and I had a little time. Pre Comms were great and he brought a lot of his own clothing and communicated what he'd like me to bring and what he'd like to shoot. He has so many amazing concepts and the results were beautiful on the BOC, I am so excited to see the edits. He is so professional and has an amazing sense of humour so we really bounced off each other the whole time. Thank you Dave, can't wait to work with you again!

Orchard Studio, Cambridge

This was the first time I had gotten to meet Dave. He comes over as a really nice guy and was so well organised. He came with so many ideas for the shoot and ended up utilising the natural light of the studio so well. I am already seeing some super results of this shoot. He is most certainly welcome to the studio any time and I would totally recommend him to models reading this review.

Dave's a fantastic photographer! We've worked together a few times, including the recent ColourPop event at Kempston Studio with Kate Star. He's not only funny and a great guy, but his talent truly shines through his photos. We're thrilled to have him booked for our next duo shoot in a few months! Highly recommend Dave and look forward to working with him again! (Thanks for the fun studio days!)

Lindsey Loren

My second shoot with Dave it seemed a long time coming , but most definitely worth the wait I really enjoy working with Dave he is so down to earth, warm.. and I respect his work greatly.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent very professional and Dave had lots of ideas all of which were classy and tasteful as always...& an organised email proposal of the shoot sent before the day and all respectful of my levels.

We worked through several sets & it was a joy working with him again especially as I could show Dave the real Lindsey and me at my best this time as the last time our first shoot...I had literally only just left my bed/sofa from many weeks of recovery after Emergency eye surgery too a detached retina, so really wasn't in the best shape of my life or feeling as confident as I normally would, but obviously did my best in the not so fortune circumstances, but Dave was a real star guiding/directing me. So was a delight to be able to show Dave the real Lindsey Loren finally.

Another Amazing shoot with a very talented photographer.

I most definitely 100% recommend and also hope to continue to shoot with Dave in the future.

Thank you Dave, was lovely to see you again x

Natasha Groves

It was an amazing first shoot with Dave at my first studio day at Kempston Studio.

I enjoyed every minute shooting with Dave and I could have easily shot for 2 more hours! He was very respectful and never pushed boundaries for my levels, he is great company to be around and we had lots of laughs between shots.

Dave arrived on time and eager to shoot, his pre-comms were great, about outfits, styles and posing and he is very easy to get along with.

He made the shoot thoroughly enjoyable and he showed me shots on the back of the camera, they look immaculate! I cannot wait to see the final edits.

Thanks for a warm welcome for my first day at Kempston and I cannot wait to shoot again with you soon

I had the pleasure of having my first shoot with Dave at kempston studios and it did not disappoint! He arrived on time and had a clear idea of what he wanted to shoot in the 2 hours we had.

I really enjoyed the shoot and can’t wait to see the images! Highly recommended and hope to work with Dave again in future!

I had a fabulous experience working with Dave at Kempston Studio. Dave is so lovely and easy to work with.

Dave has loads of creative ideas and knew exactly what he wanted from the shoot which was amazing. He gave clear instructions and showed me the images in between sets. Dave also brought some clothes for me to model.

The photos I've seen so far are great and I can’t wait to see the rest!

Looking forward to shooting with Dave again!

Highly recommended!

Another visit from Dave on the Sophia Gray studio days. Dave got some great images and is finding his way around the studio using it to its ability whilst maintaining his professional and relaxed attitude to his model and shooting.

Models seem to feel relaxed in Dave's company and Dave is recommended and always welcome back at the studio.

Great to welcome Dave to the studio for the first time shooting on the Paula W studio days.

Dave was talkative and respectful to his model the studio and its equipment and was a pleasure to have him here.

I was looking forward to meeting Dave as he has a great port with loads of fabulous images.

Sure enough Dave knew his camera and lighting so it was easy for myself just ensuring everything was where he needed it.

I have no hesitation in recommending Dave and will look forward to seeing him again in a couple of weeks time.

It was amazing to work with Dave during my visit at Kempston Studio. Dave is very professional and polite, has amazing ideas for the shoot! and the props he brought were perfect for what we was trying to create. Dave is friendly, knows the right approach and it was very easy to be comfortable during the entire shoot, I wish 2 hours wasn’t going so fast!

Honestly an amazing shoot with great enthusiasm, creative and results are amazing! I absolutely recommend Dave to any model or studio, myself would love an opportunity to shoot together again. Thank you for a fab shoot! :)

100% RECOMMENDED!
