Over the years ive heard so may lovely things about Mr Dave. Not only by models but other photographers too. They would say have you been down to stay with Mr Dave? and i finally got to yaaay. I got the train down to Exeter and Dave was lovely enough to collect me from the station and bring me back to his home. I got to meet Roxy and Ruby two lovely black labs, im a total dog person and they where so well trained and friendly and just a total joy to see every day. I stayed for three or four nights total and was working from Mr daves home studio Sowton studio. Its a sham to call it just a home studio though because its set up better than a lot of other professional studios ive been in. Plus it has a lovely bedroom setting and a big private garden. We got to shoot together for a couple of hours as well which was lovely. He has these huge gowns in his model wardrobe so that was a lot of fun. We are already talking about my next trip down. I cant wait.

Mr Dave is a great photographer and a pleasure to work with. This was a location shoot on the East Devon coast at midday! Dave is fantastic for giving direction and is a highly experienced photographer, his technical skills are great and he provides excellent constructive feedback to help you develop further which is a skill in itself.

The end images were great and I look forward to working with Dave again.

It was a first time I was staying at the Mr Dave's studio after a recommendation from a photographer who wanted a shoot with me while I was in the area. Mr Dave is a perfect host, chatty, friendly making sure my stay was as happy and enjoyable as possible. His dogs are lovely and well behaved. His studio is fantastic, well equipped, specious, with well designed outdoor space too and many different sets to choose from. It was very joyful experience to shoot there.

Thank you Mr Dave and hopefully I can stay again when I will have some shoots booked in Exeter :)

First time I have had the chance to visit the studio. I had heard great reports from lots of models that have stayed and worked here.

Super set up, well equipped, lots of options for different sets.

Great host, very attentive and helpful.

Highly recommended.

Another shoot with Dave! However I was behind the lens on a shoot at Dave's studio with Jason and Jade Alexandra! Dave was very welcoming and was so helpful teaching me and Jason about his set up and how to use the studio! It was so wonderful talking to Dave and being able to use his equipment to take some gorgeous pictures! I couldn't have asked for more!

I had my first visit to Mr Dave's Studio, something I knew I would have to do a long time ago. Jade and Chloe joined me on this shoot and we all had a great experience.

Dave was friendly and very helpful indeed. I suggested to him that we would benefit from his advice and showing how he would set up the equipment for each set, and he did that role for the whole shoot, stepping in when we wanted to relocate to different sets and then stepping back for us to shoot. It was easy to get great results.

There are well designed and furnished set spaces which get updated periodically so there's always something new. The studio facilities are well equipped and quite extensive given the indoor spaces and the outdoor spaces.

All in all this was a great day, a great place, and a great host. Highly recommended!

Thanks Dave. Hope to be back soon.

Wow what a wonderful time I had.

I had my first shoot with Dave today after a taking a back step for a while and Dave did such a fantastic job of getting me back on track.

From start to finish he’s really accommodating, professional and enthusiastic. He did a fantastic job at trying out new things and venturing into seeing what I can do. Loved his spontaneity and quick thinking and doing everything possible to get the best pictures.

Get shooting with him and if you have use of his studio then grab that opportunity. It’s got to be one of the best set ups iv seen yet and did dividends for my poses and how much I could do.

100% Recommended!

Book him!

I was delighted to have Dave shooting at my land.

The sun was shining and he brought the most gorgeous dresses for me to wear, what more could I ask for.

We had a great shoot and we are already planning our next one!

He even did behind the scenes footage for me which was awesome! What a legend

Always highly recommended by me

Thanks again Dave

P.s The studio is looking awesome!

A quick but fun shoot, Dave has a hot tub now and I just had to use it! His efforts from setting it up to getting different angels was brilliant! The set up was beautiful too! Can't wait to see the finished results!

I worked with Dave again on an art nude shoot to boost my confidence and skills in the field, we were both experimenting on relatively new things for us and we got some beautiful shots from the shoot.

Dave has always been spectacular and every time I'm there, I have an absolute blast!

Had a first shoot with Dave on Thursday 1st October at his studio in Sowton...fantastic location, wonderful outside, enclosed garden and summerhouse, Lovely man! Such a gentle guy, respectful and kind.

He was so accommodating to an inexperienced lady, who quickly felt at easy, and relaxed to have great fun!

Big thank you to Mr Dave! Hope to shoot again, once health reasons allow!

Anyone considering working with Dave, Do it!

I had my first shoot with Dave at his studio, he was super easy to worth with, very easy to talk to & he has two lovely labradors that kept us company on the shoot! He took some lovely portraits of me. I also shot with him a few days later on a group shoot & he was perfect to work with then as well! Can’t recommend him enough! Thanks! :)

I worked with Dave on a 50's vintage theme on Friday on a social distancing location shoot, pre communications was great as always. Even though the hot weather and the sunlight was an issue Dave came prepared with all the kit and gear to work with the light.

Dave knew what style of images and locations I was looking for to match the shoot theme. The images are looking amazing and he was a blast to work with,I can't wait to work with Dave more in the future.

Highly recommend x
