I had a really good enjoyable shoot with David and he was a great opportunity to work and catch up with him as our last shoot together was around 8 years ago!!

Pre-communication was faultless, discussed ideas and vision from the outset. Professional on shoot and an utter gentleman throughout the day :)

Highly recommended and look forward to our next shoots! (hopefully not in 8 years time.... ;) )

I worked with David last Saturday afternoon.

It has been a quiet and pleasant session, that I would absolutely to repeat.

He is a very kind and professional photographer who work and talk with, we had shared many different ideas and have realized them.

I totally recommend him, and hope to work with soon.

Thank you David for everything!!

Had a amazing shoot with David this afternoon. We've been shooting at a beautiful location called De Vere Venue Horsley Park. We made excellent shots both inside and on location. David is a professional photographer and a lovely person to work with!

Highly recommend! :D

I worked with David at LovePhoto studio in Newmarket. Davids pre comms were excellent and I was really looking forward to our shoot.

David is so friendly, relaxed and has a great eye. His lighting is great and has a brilliant way of directing (without really directing and letting me flow). Breaks were regular and I really appreciated that he valued building up a rapport as much as actual shooting.

We got some superb images and I cannot wait to work with him again.

Highly recommended.

LovePhoto Studio

David attended Ayla's studio day at LovePhoto studio. He is an easy going, knowledgeable, passionate photographer, in fact he is one of the most laid back photographer I have met. His enthusiasm for photography is infectious. He continuously thrives to improve his photography. David is very respectful of his models and came prepared with ideas to shoot. I look forward to welcome back David again and he is highly recommended.

David and I have been in touch for quite a while now and we managed to shoot last weekend. I cannot fault him both as a genuine, warm, friendly relaxed person as well a creative professional photographer.

He invests the time to get to know about the model's experience and aspirations, to establish an ongoing working relationship for future shoots. Though his work definitely speaks for itself, David is humble about his achievements and when we did shoot fashion, the raw images were superb!

Because of his high quality work, combined with his relaxed and fun nature, I've introduced him to a dear contact of mine who has his own bridal, evening gown wear brand.

If you're passionate about modelling and fun to work with, I highly recommend shooting with David!

Great day shooting at a stunning location, Studio Antics, Kirklees Hall. David made me feel welcome on arrival and happily left me to get on with the make-up without me feeling pressured or rushed. Good bloke,fab photos.

I had my first shoot with David today at Studio Antics, Kirklees Hall. We had an excellent pre-communication where David arranged to have costumes hired for our shoot. I was made feel very comfortable and at ease from the very start, and David was kind enough to both pick me up from the station and then give me a lift back home.

I absolutely loved working with David at the chosen venue, I felt very relaxed in posing for David and we both discussed a variety of ideas for our shoot, which was very pleasant as David took notice of some ideas I had that we executed, in my opinion, brilliantly.

David is very professional, friendly, engaging and enthusiastic photographer with whom I already arranged to work with in the near future. I am very excited to see the photos from the day and am just as excited looking forward to working with David again! I would definitely recommend his services.

This was my first ever shoot with David, by the time we had wrapped up I was quite virtually thinking to myself... Oh my gosh. Why have we not worked together sooner, that was just purely wonderful!

We got on like a house on fire and I very much felt like it was more like our 3rd/4th shoot together. David makes superb efforts to gel with his models stupendously; I could have easily chatted to him all day long as our jaws were in full flow as we worked and there is never a shortage of interesting gossip with him. He's a dream of a character for any people-person with a totally respectful and caring outlook on the models he books; professional, organised, friendly... I could go on and on.

We spent our first shoot together at Studio Antics and had a great spectrum of stunning location backdrops to work with in the spectacular house. David's eye for this kind of work is second-to-none, in fact he just needs to take one look around the room and the inspirational ideas just flow. We shot some fashion and we shot nudes, even the sensual boudoir was nailed superbly! Here is a photographer who can frame, style and build a picture to perfection in so many different scenarios and sets using light so beautifully to create a real hint of magic in his images. On the back of the camera they looked absolutely tremendous - for me as the model it generated such buzz and continued passion to use this excellent new rapport to it's full potential. As I say, we worked so well together you would have thought it was our 3rd/4th shoot!

If I were to recommend David in a few words here is how I would say it: HE IS AWESOME! Simply fantastic. Bring on the next wonderful shoot and ideas it will bring; in the meantime, for other models due to be shooting with him, take it from me that you will have a whale of a time. :)

Thank you for a very lovely shoot David.

I was lucky enough to shoot with David today. He really is a lovely man, making me feel comfortable at all times. He was very chatty and friendly, made cups of coffee and took some gorgeous photographs of me. I was able to see the photos on the back of the camera as we went and am excited to see the final results!

I highly recommend David and can't wait to shoot with him again!

Today I had my first photo-shoot with David at WindmillArt Studio in Cambridge. Pre-communication prior the shooting was perfect and David arrived at the agreed location with a stunning Goth-Victorian Dress that he hired for the shooting. David is very easy to work, polite, and he has a very good eye. We've worked for almost four hours and felt like an hour to me!!!

With no doubt highly recommended and I hope to work together again.

Best ,

I recently worked with David during a group shoot. I didn't get much of a chance to work with him on a 1-2-1 basis, but he was very pleasant and friendly throughout! I hope we get the chance to work together again.

My second shoot with David - this time on one of Andrew Appleton's portfolio builder days. We didn't have long to shoot but as usual David was friendly and polite with a good eye for his image. He worked well with the rest of the group and was pleasant to everyone throughout the day. Thanks David.

Lulu Lockhart

Had a lovely time working with David at Andrew Appleton's Portfolio Builder day last week! As usual David was kind, thoughtful and friendly and provided a really great vibe and atmosphere to the day! He works well both on his own and in a group dynamic!

David is a very good photographer, able to work efficiently, creatively and knows exactly what he is looking for from an image!

It was a pleasure working with him again and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him! :)

Last week David and I shot at Kirklees (Studio Antics) an amazing manor house in Yorkshire. Ive lost count of the number of shoots we've done, because of the interesting locations & decent studios he prefers to use our shoots are always varied and successful. He always gets the contact sheets back to me promptly and edited images are never far behind! A real pleasure to work with, David never overworks the model, preferring a relaxed pace. Highly recommended
