Dave aka globetrotting wildlife photographer of distinction signed up to come and get dirty and wet down on my farm shoot.

Arrived on time, well prepared, eyes on the prize which was to make the most of the 11 models present and the opportunities this unique setting had to offer.

Dave worked with the majority of the models.

Sociable and positive throughout with fellow models and photographers.

As always, I cannot wait to see the magic produced.

Plus pinning you down for another future event.

Highly Recommended.

Attended Dave's Mega Shoot @ Bodyline Studio today on behalf of MIND.

What greeted me on arrival where friendly faces, fantastic models, Dave in control of the well attended event + Lee the studio owner ready and willing to help with props, lighting and orientation.

Dave's MIND charity shoot is in it's second year, missed out last year and made sure it was a dead cert in my diary for this year.

Dave's pre shoot communication was very good, snacks / fluids ready for hard working models & photographers always at hand.

At the end of my 1/2 day shoot, 4 hours I stumbled dazed from the studio...was that a dream!!

Fantastic.

Great event, Dave's organisational effort, fab models free attendance + photographers attendance making for a 'one to remember' charity event.

Thanks you.

Met Dave yesterday at his Mind Charity shoot at Bodyline, I had great information before the day, kept me up to date with any changes.

When I arrived the greeting was very friendly and relaxed introduced me to the models and togs, advised me the revised itinerary. Unfortunately he had some no shows.

It was a very well arranged day, for a great charity would highly recommend dave

I attended Daves charity group shoot in aid of mind at bodyline studio.

As soon I got out the car Dave was there introducing himself and found him very welcoming. Dave did a great job organising this and made it fun and relaxed and he supplied refreshments water sandwiches snacks and cakes.

We managed to do a shoot together and he's professional and chatty and fun to work with.

I would highly recommend working with Dave and I am more then happy to work with Dave again.

Thanks Dave 😊

I had a brief opportunity to visit Northern Photography Charity shoot Mind.

And wowzers - what an amazing place he again chose.

I wish I had a chance to stay longer and work all day there.

On arrival - you are greeted with a big smile, a warm welcome, slight brief information, and given time to settle in.

Dave made sure, all possible model needs would be met - even vegetarian sandwiches and low calory snacks and also healthy fruit bites.

At all times your comfort was checked.

Dave is an amazing event organizer, with an approachable and kind personality. There is never a dull moment with him - all questions answered, help given when needed and communication as such - spot on.

Thank you so much, Dave, for letting me be a part of ot event.

Highly recomended.

Dave is absolute delight to work with. He organised the amazing mega charity shoot at Bodyline studio where we met for the first time. Even tho he was busy with attending everyone's needs, checking on all the models and photographers and making sure everyone has someone to shoot with, we snapped some really great photos. He's exceptional photographer and with great personality who puts you at ease and gets the best possible results Highly Recommended! x

I had the fantastic opportunity of working with Dave yesterday at the charity event he had put together.

First and foremost, the event itself was organised wonderfully. Each model was assigned a photographer which was rotated every hour so we all had a chance to work with each other. I was paired with Dave on the second session who had an idea for me straight away. After many attempts at trying to improve each time, we both were satisfied with the outcome. He gave direction as and when needed which helped create that beautiful shot!

I definitely recommend Dave to any model looking to perfect that certain shot!

I was invited to attend a charity photo shoot at Body Line studio in aid of MIND organised by Dave, he was very good at keeping me posted with all that was happening with the shoot right up until the night before. He catered very well for all the models that were attending and kept the whole day running like clockwork.

I was lucky enough to get a few sets done with him and I believe we have got some awesome images. He was very open to my ideas and professional at all times very good at communicating what he thought would work or not. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Dave. I would hope to work with him again in the future.

Well done for organising such an epic event!

It was lovely to finally meet Dave today at the group event shoot for MIND charity.

We were working together first and he made me feel comfortable and confident throughout, he was good at giving me direction as well as allowing me to do my own thing, I can’t wait to see the pics!!! X

I would highly recommend Dave to work with and maybe one day we will get the chance to work together again too x

I met with Dave for the first time at Bodyline studios in support of his group shoot for the Charity 'Mind'.

In the run up to the event Dave kept in touch with details of the day, which was much appreciated. It was a well organised event and ran very smoothly, making for a very pleasant and productive day.

The event and venue was perfect, attended by so many amazing and beautiful models.

Tea, coffee and bottled water was available too, thank you.

Thank you Dave for the considerable time and effort you must have put in for this very successful charity event.

Thank you to all the models that gave there time also.

I'll be looking out for the next one for sure.

Had a fab shoot finally with Dave at the group shoot event organized by Chriss.

I have met Dave prior to the event multiple times, but for some reason, we never got the chance to work with one another. well, finally - long time ached - and we nailed it.

Dave comes across as a charismatic person, with a full pocket of ideas - and always prepaired.

I initially wanted to destroy my wedding dress. After having it a bit destroyed prior, Dave agreed for smokey drama cinematic images, and damn they came out as a treat.

We managed various cinematic styled images - and he was very patient with me there falling and jumping with that big dress on.

Thank you very much indeed for the amazing set, smoke bumps, and lots of smiles whilst creating imaginary.

Highly recommended

Recommended to ALL.

Here I am again, blowing the proverbial smoke up this gifted photographers never region...

Dave joined us on our Pure TFP Liverpool event held at Studio Old Swan.

Dave works well with new models, inspiring confidence, promoting hints and tips but with a purpose to produce great images.

I know for a fact there will be quality images heading our way soon.

Thanks for helping make the event a success.

If you haven't worked with this photographer please don't put it off nor miss an opportunity to.

Dave is an excellent organiser, photographer and a cool cat under pressure.

Something a little Special this Christmas event was blessed with him being a part of it.

Keep doing what you do Sir.

Lets make it special again very soon.

Had the pleasure of working with northern photography on an event/group shoot in Liverpool and it was exciting to hear of all his work professionally and his upcoming escapades.

He was comfortable to shoot with, organised, so softly spoken it was just lovely to shoot and chat.

The edits he has put up are lovely, so happy with them and was just a pleasure to meet and work with him- highly recommend

Emma Darling
