Mr Dave has been of immense help in enabling me to do a quite complicated shoot. Many thanks for the use of his facilities, and also for his infinite patience.

Mr Dave was kind enough to put me up in his Bungalow recently when I was touring the Exeter area and allowed me to shoot there too. The time I was there, Mr Dave was a perfect host and provided me with everything I needed including food/snacks. He also, gave me useful tips on photoshop and photography. Only wished we had time to shoot but hopefully I will be back.:)Thank you for everything!

Snaps Studios

So Dave came to the studio to shoot with Tia Marie, such a nice man and really keen to grasp as much about this fantastic art form that we all revolve around. We did a session on close photography and finished off with some different lighting styles and as you will see from the results he learns well.

It was a pleasure to meet him and look forward to welcoming him back to the studio any time.

Had a shoot with Kayla today at Mr Daves in his house/studio for the first time. Well what can I say about the bloke. He was there when you wanted him or not if you didn't. I had a few problems with my kit and Dave not only lent me his but also help to set up. Absolutely brilliant chap. I cannot recommended him highly enough. Thanks Dave you saved my life more than once this afternoon.

I had an awesome shoot with Dave at the famous Studland last week. Dave was such a pleasure to model for. This was my first time modeling for Dave but we got on so well. He came fully prepared for the shoot and even brought lighting equipment too (not that we used much of it)

Dave was very happy to listen to my ideas and try them out and I think we came away with some really beautiful and a wide variety of awesome photos :) Dave even let me look through them after the shoot over some yummy bacon :)

I would happily recommend Dave to any other models and I can not wait to get to model for Dave again (hopefully get to go and stay at his bungalow)

I had a wonderful half day with Dave at Studland today. Dave knew what he wanted to achieve but was happy to give me free reign with styling and poses. We managed to fit loads of sets into the time; from regal fashion outside to sultry boudoir. He made excellent use of the natural light available and the results I saw on the back of the camera look stunning. I'd be delighted to work with Dave again and would highly recommend him to others.

I had a short but sweet shoot with Dave at his lovely home in Exeter.

Unfortunately Dave wasn't feeling at his best so we took a relaxed and easy approach to shooting. Dave had invested in a new video camera so we spent a little time playing around with the camera.

Looking forward to seeing you agin Dave! Hope you feel well soon.

Had the chance to shoot in Dave,s Studio at the weekend. I really couldnt believe how much stuff he had in there. All backdrops were on pulleys and easily brought into play. Loads of lights and softboxes. In fact the whole set up was amazing. Not only restricted to a beautiful lit corner I could explore and use any room I wanted. The garden is south facing and the potential was clear to see, although the weather was not at its best on the day I shot. He kept my coffee cup filled and was on hand to lift and shift anything I wanted. He was a great studio manager, there when you needed him, and out of sitght when I was shooting. Highly recommended.

This week I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Dave's Bungalow. He kindly put me up in his beautiful immaculate bungalow in Exeter while I worked round the area and I'm so very glad he did!

Dave was fantastic company and so accommodating, he was the perfect host and my week would have been half as good without him! We had a mini shoot and Dave was great, looking forward to our next shoot already!

Wheh public transport played up Dave was a hero and waited up for me to pick me up from the station late at night.

I had such a lovely time at Daves and can't wait to visit again!

Thank you x

Mr Dave kindly played host to my shoot with Chiara Elisabetta, allowing some the freedom of his home studio and gardens. Whilst we were shooting mostly in natural light, Dave was on hand to help set up lights as needed. With both continuous and studio flash available there are plenty of options to suit any occasion. We were able to cover so many different themes that it seemed hard to believe this was all in a bungalow. There are also a number of backdrops available. As a measure of just how accomodating Dave was, he even went as far as unscrewing a door to make shooting a little easier.

Thanks for your hospitality and I hope I get the chance to shoot there again.

I absolutely love Mr Dave! What a wonderful, friendly, charming and caring man he is... Not to mention his great photography skills!

I stayed with him for two nights in Exeter on my first tour and had such a great time and loved chatting to him. He took care of me and went out of his way to make sure I was ok. We've arranged for him to come up Manchester way to shoot in my local studio and I'll definitely be coming back to stay with him in the near future. :)

100% recommended :)

Thanks Mr Dave! :)

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
