References for David51

I have worked with David51 a good number of times and have always enjoyed it. He is very tall - I don't have to tilt my head up for many people. He is slim, has good muscle tone and is blessed with handsome facial features. Most importantly, David is the iconic gentleman, relaxed, friendly and easy to work with. I consider him a mate.

David understands that the primary role of a male model in B/G duo shoots is to 'frame' and show off his gorgeous lady counterpart to best effect. This time our gorgeous lady was the stunningly beautiful Aya. Whether attired as an American GI, top hat and tailed at Ascot or nude, it made no difference, David performed with aplomb. The images from our shoot bear testimony to that.

If you are looking for the iconic gentleman who is easy to work with and both looks and acts the part, hire David51. I my experience you would be hard pressed to do better.

I really enjoyed working along with David and Carl Grim. He is a lovely person, patient and easy going. We produced some stunning images, I highly recommend him and I won't say no to work with him again.

David51 brought the stunningly beautiful Missy Kiou to my studio on Sunday. We just had an afternoon of fun with our 'Great White Hunter' exploring the ruins of an ancient African civilisation. Our stunningly beautiful black maiden is dressed to impress, nay - to seduce - which she does easily. The maiden has other intentions however, is highly resourceful, and GWH finds himself in a spot of bother . . .

I have worked with David umpteen times in the past and that bod of his gets more and more ripped every time we meet. He is a great guy and works very well in a M/F duo context, showing the greatest respect for his opposite number. I was particularly impressed to observe that whenever I requested a different and possibly more daring pose, he always made sure to check with the lady first.

I will unquestionably work with David many times again in the future. Book him - nice chap and easy to work with !

First shoot with David after a number of months of trying to arrange a shoot our schedules came into alignment and we just just went for it. We threw a few ideas in the air and they all came together the following morning. David arrived early, due to the weather the Motorcycle set would have to wait till the next shoot. So our sets were to be Lavender, Woodland and Fitness. David worked hard and is certainly one tall fit gent.

David is a highly motivated, enthusiastic model, with lots of energy and ideas on what he likes. He works and poses well and also takes instruction and ideas with ease. David is an adventurous male model and a real pleasure to work and shoot with. Highly recommended and I look forward to working with David again sometime soon.

Had a shoot with David at a really interesting derelict location. He is a great guy to work with, easy going, keen to ensure the styling and posing are top notch, which made for a fantastic shoot and fab images.

Thanks for a great shoot and hopefully we can get together again soon to explore other locations and capture more wonderful images.

As kids we had a saying - "falling with your bum in the butter" - meaning a stroke of exceptionally good luck.

Well, the day I met David51 and his exotically beautiful Japanese wife, Aya, I truly fell with 'my bum in the butter' !

Our most recent exploit was an idyllic week of shooting on the Greek island of Crete. Seven days of exclusive access to not one, but two talented models - shooting in Crete's wold famous gorges, under waterfalls, on beaches at sunset, under street lights in old town streets at midnight, in and around a photogenic old greek villa where we were staying . . .

David is a body builder - slim and ripped and just a nice, easy going bloke. And Aya - well just read my previous references and more importantly, look at her port. No more needs to be said, other than that she, like David, is very easy and great fun to work with.

Bum in the Butter ? You look at our images and decide . . .

Book David, book Aya, book them as a couple - you will definitely not regret it.

David answered a studio casting (Prodel Photographic) to shoot some traditional male portraiture, which was an entirely new venture for me.

David is a top guy, all round!

He was incredibly professional, patient and super helpful as we worked through a range of set ups and poses and worked together to craft some lovely shots, overcoming issues as they arose.

David has been a pleasure to work with from pre-comms and through the shoot and I only hope the final images will do him justice!

Thank you so much, David, you're a proper star!

Prodel Photographic

Just to reiterate the recommendation made by Nigel Doherty (photographer), form the perspective of the hosting studio, David is a top guy, all round!

David has been a pleasure to work with from pre-comms and through the shoot and is a proper star!

Thank you so much, David!

David was extremely helpful with my shoot but sadly due to my terrible canon and the lighting we didn’t achieve all the ideas we wanted, he chose really cool locations and carried my camera bag as well as walking me to the station a true gentleman. I’d happily work with him again

Phillip Palmer

My shoot with David went very well. Not only does he pose confidently with little direction but he also checked for feedback to make sure the shoot was producing images we'd both be happy with.

Organisation and communications were smooth and meant that we met perfectly on time before moving onto the location for the shoot where we got a good variety of images. I also got the chance to experiement with some night photography and valuable practice in balancing flash and street light that I can build on in the future, for which I am very grateful.

I'm happy to recommend David and am confident any photographer will add value to their port by working with him.

A challenge to my fellow photographers - please Define Heaven . . .

I will give you my definition -

"A week on the sun-drenched island of Menorca with a stunning female model accompanied by a ripped male model, supported by my graceful and beautiful wife to add glamour to the occasion. From sunrise shoots on the rocks, to lazy breakfasts next to our private pool, to midday underwater shoots in the crystal clear turquoise water in one of the islands many bays, to sunset shoots on a nudist beach, to evenings with exceptional cuisine in top restaurants, to a late night shoot under the street lamps of the cobbled lanes in an old Moorish city . . . "

Try and beat that, particularly when I tell you that my models were Aya - that classy Japanese lady with a physique to raise the dead, modelling skills to blow your mind and a 'just do it' attitude that makes it nigh on impossible to put your camera down.

My male model was the 6 foot 4 inch tall and irrepressible David51 - his height being the perfect foil for our petite little Aya. He modelled his slim, ripped physique, provided the perfect male foil in duo sequences - framing Aya to a T. He drove the car, carried tons of equipment and proved to be great male company - replete with the male-type two way repartee.

The final accolade was my wife, an exceptional judge of character, telling me on our return how much she enjoyed David and Aya's company and our week away together.

Highly, highly recommended both as individual models and working together as a duo.

Had a very good shoot with David. The pre-shoot communication ensured we had everything we needed. He arrived with various outfits and an open mind. He needed little direction and had some very good ideas for posing.

I highly recommend David, who I feel to be a nice genuine person who has a very professional attitude.

Beardmore

I had a fantastic first shoot with David and Aya. It was my first duo shoot and I was a bit concerned about posing, etc. There was no need for that!

David and Aya were very professional; they work very well together, and the beautiful images flowed...

Pre-shoot comms were very good - clear and to the point.

I had a great time and I certainly hope to work with them again!

Junea Modell

I met David for the first time at my home studio for a boy/girl shoot with Trevor, Aces High Photography and wow what a fantastic time we had. David was an absolute gentleman and I felt at ease with him right from the start. We both had lots of costume and set changes which made a varied and most enjoyable shoot.

David arrived on time and fully prepared for every style possible. Our time together went all too quickly which means only one thing David......you are just going to have to come back for another one. 😉😊

I highly recommend any model or photographer to work with David, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you again for an amazing day David.

I met David for the first time today when he joined my wife for her first B/G shoot at my studio.

The pre comms with David were excellent and we already had a very goo idea what we were going to do but I have to say the actual shoot far exceeded that.

David it a total gentleman and made June feel very relaxed right from the start.

He is obviously a very experienced model and the two of them worked amazingly well together.

Needless to say we are both looking forward to round two.

David answered a short notice casting call. His pre-shoot comms were excellent. He arrived with a variety of pieces to support the shoot. He takes direction well but has the confidence to suggest his own ideas. He is enthusiastic and wants the best from every shot. He is highly recommended.

Had my second shoot with David yesterday. Accompanied by Aya we did solo sets as well as a steampunk duo and some artistic implied and nudes. David is very dedicated and always strives to get the best pose and look for each image. Pre comms were great and David arrived with all the outfits and props as discussed, and then some. And to top it off, he's also a top geezer. Great working with you again David and our look forward to our next one when its a little warmer out there :) Highly recommended.
