I had a shoot with Dave on Monday at his studio.

His pre comms were great, sent across inspiration pictures of what we were going to be doing, and gave me guidance for outfits as well.

Dave was professional, fun and a joy to shoot with.

Thank you!!

Had a great first shoot with Mr Dave as part of a group shoot, I was modelling for a project of his and he was very patient kind and gives good instructions.

I have another shoot with him soon at his studio and I can’t wait

I had such a lovely time at Mr Dave‘s fantastic studio, it’s such an amazing place with so many potential places to shoot. I lovely home and garden space there really is nothing not like about this fantastic studio. Mr Dave was incredibly kind to me and we worked on a few different sets and I felt worked really well together. I hope to work with Dave again soon and I certainly will be using his studio if I am meeting anyone from that neck of the woods ( Devon and Cornwall)

I had the pleasure to be Dave's first remote shoot experience and from his first message it was clear that Dave's communications are spectacular. He knew what he wanted to achieve and shared the vision with me so I could help to bring it to life.

He was patient during the shoot, understanding that remote shoots take more time but harbour more images to keep than throw. He was polite and professional and a perfect gentleman (as always!).

I really enjoyed working with him on this experience and look forward to seeing what he produces with the shots.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

I was so lucky to get the chance to shoot at Dave's studio. He has lots of equipment and outfits to use. He is so easy to get along with. He hosts very well and made me feel welcome, and provided accommodation that really helped. I look forward to going back there and shooting with him. I recommend him to other models. Until next time :)

i hired mr daves studio recently to make use of the garden which is an excellent outdoor space with a variety of backgrounds, lawn areas and flowers that enable a range of scenarios. lucky to catch a bit of golden sun against the walled area, the garden has some great photographic features. the studio also has a fantastic indoor space which looks incredible and dave is such a friendly and knowledgeable guy on the many aspects of photography it makes it a go to place for any shoot. i must make use of the facilities again and would recommend to anyone looking for a great space to work the camera both indoors and out.

Dave is such a joy to work with - I recently had the pleasure again, this time in my home studio, and from start to finish Dave was very professional. We were once again working on one of his ongoing projects, so he was working towards a specific target and worked well and gave good direction to achieve what he was after.

Our minds worked together great and when reviewing the back of camera shots, we were able to keep working on the images until he was happy.

Dave is a great photographer as well, he has a sharp eye and pays attention to the little details. He's polite and professional throughout and we always keep good conversation flowing, it really is lovely to work with him.

Thankyou for another wonderful shoot, I look forward to see you again soon!

Mr Dave was kind to offer me his studio for a couple of hours for a valentines themed shoot - Tia and himself had come up with a plan of two cute sets for us to use for the day. And pre-comms were brilliant as it meant everything was set up for me in time for my arrival! I hope to shoot there again soon!

What can I say, Mr Dave, what a pleasure to work with 😊

This was only my 3rd shoot and I instantly felt at ease and happy when I arrived. Mr Dave had some specific shots he wanted and I actually found this a really handy experience as had to stand in certain poses.

Mr Dave is absolutely the right mix of professional and friendly. His studio is beautiful and he makes you feel really at home.

Dave has a beautiful selection of outfits he's just purchased and it was so much fun having a look through and trying some.

I had a really lovely time and could not be happier with my photos. I hope Dave will have me back again as I'd love to work with him again.

Highly recommended 👌

I shot at Dave's home studio yesterday, booked with a prompt response from Dave. Dave is a top bloke, always friendly always helpful. I have used Sowton studios lots of times before and the place always produces awesome shots. The place has awesome natural light and his garden and summer house is set up beautifully.

If you need a local studio in the south west I highly recommend using Dave's place if it's free.

Thanks Dave and lovely to catch up again 🙂👍

I was travelling down to Plymouth for my short Devon tour so thought it would be rude if I didn't pop in and see Mr Dave.

We had a great catch up and a lovely relaxing and productive shoot.

Dave was getting to grips with flash outdoors and wanted to practice a bit more so we did a variety of different fashion looks in the garden as well as some fashion/art nude sets inside in the studio.

Dave was super as always and great company.

I will look forward to going back again soon.

Thanks for another brilliant stay and shoot.

Best

Dave is a fantastic photographer and a really lovely person. He was very understanding of the need to postpone our shoot after I became ill and was also incredibly accommodating when our planned shoot venue had partially shut, so he happily winged it!

His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out and then well delivered on the day. He also included an item or two he'd like to shoot so I knew the types of items to pack for the shoot, which is always super helpful to me.

We were working on fashion images towards his certificate and he showed fantastic knowledge of lighting outdoors, despite being relatively new to that concept. He happily made adjustments to the lights as we went throughout the shoot and the back of camera shots looked fantastic.

Dave was polite and professional throughout and conversation easily flowed - we even sat back in my garden and had a good chit chat afterwards! He's a truly lovely person and one I couldn't recommend highly enough - thankyou for a truly fabulous shoot!

Dave attended my most recent group shoot Aphrodite and im so pleased that he did.

Although we spend a lot of time together It's been a while since Dave and I have properly worked together on a shoot, so it was great to put each other to the test and create some beautiful images out of the studio.

Dave it easy to get along with and works well as part of a group. Although Dave wouldn't agree, he's a very sociable person,

laid back and great fun to work with.

Always recommended by me

Great to have you attend, thanks again

Had a great shoot with Khaleesii at Dave's studio recently. Dave was very helpful with setting up and was on hand for any queries. Nice chap, nice facilities and a good photographer with lots of knowledge. Highly recommended. I do hope I get a chance to visit the area again and will definitely be going back to Dave's place for another shoot. Thank you for being a great host.
