References for Mr Dave

♥ Chiara Elisabetta

Dave is quite honestly one of the brightest rising stars! We have worked together a few times and each time has been extoadinarily unique! The first time was at a Paul's studio event, the second wasn't even modelling - Dave requested some recorded piano music as backing tracks for some video footage he'd taken, which I thoroughly loved doing! We have had our third booking today out & about in Paignton, helping him take images in both harsh sunlight & shade with both a sunbounce reflector and flash.. taking it in turns as the sun decided to be temperamental.

One thing that is really obviously unique to Dave is that he absolutely LOVES to learn. He is so keen to listen, push himself to the extreme & better his work time and time again, and this is what makes him stand out from the rest. Add to this, he is delightful company; a true gent with a fab sense of humour. I would happily work with him time and time again & help him where possible, as he shows such gratitude & growth in his work.. as a result of this, his imagery is consistently stunning! Highly recommended :)

I worked with Mr Dave (I cant help calling him that!) at the Wales weekend, I was lucky enough to be booked by him 1-2-1 as we hadn't had the chance to work with each other before. Mr Dave is so much fun to work with, he had brought some great ideas and little props and we had a good laugh using his bubble machine. He was happy for me to suggest ideas and poses and I think we got some lovely images :)

Highly recommended!

Hopefully I will be working with him again soon!

I worked with Mr. Dave again the other weekend at Pauls Wales weekend. We have worked together a few times and each is more enjoyable than the last. Mr. Dave gets on well working in a group as well as one to one and has built a very good working with relationships over time with all the models who attended as well as with his fellow photographers.

I would highly recommend Mr. Dave and can't wait to work with him again in the future. Many thanks and cant wait to see the video :)

Had a lovely shoot with Mr Dave as part of a photography convention in Wales. He was inventive with ideas, we shot various styles and also experimented with shadow. Posing for Dave was easy as he had a great eye for the right angles to make the female figure look its best. As part of a group of three photographers, he needed to be pretty efficient with timing, and off the cuff with ideas, and he did this with ease! As a person, he's laid back, calm, and really easy in his direction, whilst also letting a model move in the ways she knows best for her figure. Would 100% recommend and would definitely work with him again. Thanks Dave!

I had my second shoot with Dave on location near my home last week. Always lovely shooting with Dave, great conversation and wonderful company.

Dave wanted to try some concepts that were unusual to his normal style and he nailed it! Although it looked as if the weather wasn't on our side, Dave was still ambitious to get the shot he was after.

100% recommended.

First shoot with Dave and it was just as I expected. Absolutely fantastic!

Dave was so easy to get on with which made the images look very relaxed.

Would highly recommend him to any model

Thanks

It was my second shoot with Dave today at his home 'studio'. We started working on bodyscapes which is new to me and still something of a work in progress. As always Dave was fun to work with and I would highly recommend him. Looking forward to next time.

I finally got to shoot 1:1 with Dave yesterday at my home in Wiltshire. I have met and worked with Dave a few times now on a model event in Wales, so it was nice to shoot 1:1 for a change.

Dave is a lovely person, very approachable, friendly and easy to get along with.

We did an arrange of styles but mainly focusing on fashion outside and inside the house, making some lovely images. We chatted lots, drank tea and took some fab images, perfect shoot :)

I look forward to seeing the results and I can only highly recommend Dave to any model out there.

Thank you...see you in Wales

I had the wonderful privilege to meet and work (even for a very short time) with the lovely Mr Dave on my tour to Bath/Exeter areas this weekend.

Need to say he is a lovely genuine and respectful guy, who has been a perfect host by kindly offering me accommodation at his house. He picked me up from the station and made me comfortable around him all throughout.. He's also got a lovely Labrador who made my evening joyful after a busy day shooting and travelling! :) In the morning, we managed to have a short photoshoot, when Mr Dave prepared the lighting in no time and took the most wonderful portraits, which I thank him for that!!

I would like to highly recommend Mr Dave to anyone... I would go back anytime! Thank you so much for your kindness and hope to see you soon :) Mona x

On my first shoot with Dave we took advantage of a bright, warm day to use his secluded walled garden. Dave is lovely to work with and was happy to exchange ideas on the shoot. I am delighted with the pictures that he has taken and I am looking forward to working with him again very soon.

Third time shooting with Dave, and second time staying at his place. As always Dave was a great host, I felt right at home and had a good time shooting with him :)

Looking forward to another trip later in the year!

Thanks,

I had a fantastic shoot today with Dave, and left knowing we'd got some brilliant images!

I had previously met Dave at an event and couldn't wait to work with him, as I admired his stunning work. The pre-shoot communication was excellent and everything was well organised and planned. Dave kindly picked me up from the station and we discussed ideas. We worked on a variety of ideas, and I felt relaxed and comfortable. Dave has many great ideas, and is so talented at his work, would recommend him to all models of all levels!

I had a great time working with Mr Dave at Paul's Studio Wales Weekend.

The shoot was fun and relaxed and Mr Dave got some great images in the time we had. I would recommend working with Dave and I hope that we get another chance to work together again.

Shot with Mr Dave as part of an event in Wales, and would highly recommend him. Not only did we get some absolutely stunning images, but he was a lovely person, and very relaxed in what might have been quite a pressured environment given that we only had a couple of hours to shoot. He has a real eye for a models' natural beauty without posing her, and made me feel super comfortable. Thanks Mr Dave!

Had my second shoot with Mr Dave but at my home this time, and again it was a pleasure. He is a genuine, friendly and lovely guy. He had lots of ideas and has a great eye for detail. Always feel totally comfortable shooting with Mr Dave and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Highly recommended.

Dave was very kind to collect me from the train station, drop me back there and let me stay overnight too. We shot at his home, in his studio area and in his beautiful garden. Dave's pre shoot communications were great and he was professional and respectful throughout. We worked on some portraits, some experimental ideas and some classic art nude too. I would definitely recommend Dave to other models and hope we can work together again in the future :)

My second shoot with Dave and as before I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Dave is a lovely person to be around, totally respectful and really chatty. He has ideas of his own but is happy for you to have input and allows you freedom with outfits too which is great :)

He was also kind enough to let me stay with him the night after our shoot as I was shooting in a nearby area the next day, he looked after me extremely well and made sure I was happy/comfortable.

From what I saw on the iPad there were bags of shot with potential and I look forward to seeing the final results as they go up :D

Highly recommended and of course look forward to seeing him on my next visit!

I had the pleasure of working with Dave last year on one of Pauls Studio events in Wales.

I found Dave to be a warm and friendly person who was easy to chat too and great to shoot with.

I also spent some time with Dave over this weekend in Wales again, This time we didn't get to shoot however Dave did shoot some behind the scenes video and I can't wait to see his results :)

I highly recommended working with Dave, great guy and hopefully we will shoot 1:1 together one day soon.

Thanks

Carla :)

Mr.Dave came to Paul's Wale's Weekender, and was kind enough to drive me there and back. We were able to shoot for three hours on the Sunday, and it was a complete pleasure! Mr.Dave is such a great guy, very laidback, considerate and professional. He is really passionaite about photography and also awesome company. The shoot flew by so quickly, so it would be great to work with him again soon.

Highly reccomended- a lovely person.

5 stars.
