📸 What an unexpected adventure with Dave! I thought I was just going for coffee, but after he made me feel so relaxed and at ease, I ended up being wrapped up like a mummy! Dave's setup is a photographer's dream playground, complete with an impressive array of equipment that could rival a spy agency. He even had a TV set up so I could watch myself contort into all sorts of awkward positions!

Throughout the session, Dave's communication was flawless, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. He's a true gentleman, patient and full of valuable tips on posing that made me feel like a supermodel. The photos turned out stunning, and I'm already planning our next session! Perhaps next time, I'll get the chance to pose in his chair with the teddy bear.

I highly recommend Dave for anyone looking for a mix of professionalism and hilarity in their photography sessions. It's not every day you find someone who can tie you up and make you feel like a star! 🌟📸

It was amazingly easy to run a lighting workshop with Dave doing Shibari rigging...

He's really good with both rigging and lighting - I felt a tad superfluous, and I hope he'll be willing to work with me again.

I was deeply impressed with the way that he worked with rope, explaining what was going on, and treating our model, Vampire Princess, with great care and respect.

A real gentleman (and gentle man, where appropriate). Recommended!

First shoot with Dave. Really interesting day as we worked on a number of different angles and came out with amazing results. Definitely recommend Dave as he is a true artist.

From the first contact and outset, Dave has been a pro. Pre-comms were spot on with contact details and places to find further references and photos etc. As we were planning on doing rope work, we also had a pre shoot phone call to discuss and clarify all health & safety/personal boundaries so that everything was agreed.

We shot at his house with plenty of time to relax and get to know each other a bit first and yet worked through a number of sets productively and got loads of fantastic variety.

He's got a keen eye for lighting and a creative outlook. Overall a fab shoot and would be happy to recommend 😊

This legend deserves all the credit, pre comms before the shoot were discussed accordingly so we knew what style we were going for and then on the day we discussed ideas with the aforementioned outfits and conducted the shoot with ease. The shoot felt more natural and more like seeing a friend rather than doing a straight forward shoot. Great chats, humorous ideas, inspiring advice, fantastic use of lighting and I look forward to seeing the images again. Already setting up a date to go back and do another shoot! Highly recommended!!

SORRY THIS REFERENCE IS LATE!!!!

This is not a reflection on our shoot though. I had an absolute blast!!!!

Complete professional throughout infact to be honest Dave asked 'are you OK' far too many times for my liking ;)

He knows exactly what he's doing with lighting, rope work is incredible and professionally done!!!!

Not a negative thing to say.

I shot with Dave yesterday after he answered my casting call to update my portfolio. I have worked with Dave previously and know he is a magician with the camera when it comes to lighting and shadows so I couldn't wait to shoot with him again.

After excellent pre-shoot communications, Dave picked me up from my home to shoot at his place where he has a range of backdrops, floor covers, two different rooms to shoot from and a variety of props.

Dave allowed me to view each image on the PC as we went through the shoot, allowing us to discuss what was and wasn't working, and what each of us was happy with.

Dave is extremely professional, easy to work with, makes his model feel at ease and an all round lovely guy. The images I have already received are exceptional and I can't wait to view more once they're finished, as I know they will be of a high quality.

We have already booked our next shoot. I would highly recommend Dave to any model. If you get the opportunity to work with him, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Dave for such a great shoot...can't wait for the next one! :)

I shot with Dave at his home studio after putting out a casting call and I am so glad I chose to work with him.

Polite, knowledgeable and very friendly - I was put at ease right away!

The raw images looked fantastic and it's was great to see how he would edit them as he showed me some speed edits on the day.

I would heartily recommend working with him!

His dog Boris is also a very charming chap XD

I had my first shoot with dave at his house and it was my favourite shoot ever!

His house is cosy and very relaxing and he showed me his plants and his amazing garden and I also met little doggy Boris.

The shoot itself was really fun and dave was respectable the whole way through and attentive. He made sure I was comfortable with what we was doing and showed me the pictures as we went along and the sorts of things he could do in the edits.

He asked permission every time if he needed to move a bit of hair or a sticky out bit of dress and made sure I was happy with how the shoot was going.

The main part of the shoot was absolutely insane and fake blood got everywhere!!! The pictures have turned out amazingly and have already been described as 'powerful'.

Dave also let me use his shower afterwards and gave me my very own unique plant to take home

All in all, I couldnt have asked for a better shoot and I feel the same towards dave as I do to my dad. He is a very father figure feeling person and I'd be happy to shoot with him again

Dave and I shot together for the first time today at StudioFiftyEight in Kettering.

We discussed shoot ideas and what we would aim to achieve. I knew the images would be good, but I was blown away with what we created. Dave is fantastic with his lighting skills, we got some really cool images using shadows but capturing my body perfectly in the light at the same time. The natural light images were equally amazing. As we were looking through what we’d shot, the smile on my face was beaming! Absolutely beautiful!!

I really enjoyed the shoot with Dave. We had such a great time creating together, working together to get the best shot, it was magic!! Dave is ace and I can’t wait to shoot again.

Very highly recommended from me

Thank you Dave for a fab shoot

Dave attended my woodland group shoot and I am so pleased he made it!

He was great to talk with and gave plenty of ideas/suggestions for the shoot. Great working with the natural light (despite what he said) and was happy to show BOC images. Really professional and clear in pre-shoot comms, I would be happy to recommend him!

Finally managed to work with Dave for the first time this year ... I've really missed working with him!

His shoots are always fun and I feel super relaxed and safe when shooting with him.

Absolutely recommend! x

Had a shibari photoshoot today with Dave and another model.

He knows exactly what it is doing when it comes to rope and always pushes safety safety safety which is amazing! Always communicating making sure we were ok and comfterble.

Pretty funny too with his random outbursts haha.

He’s full of ideas and amazing at giving directions and knowing how to get the image that was desired.

He’s very cheeky which is a good thing!

Would 100% recommend Dave and I look forward to working with him again.

Thankyou for a weird and wonderful shoot

Dave is so lovely and friendly and always puts the model first making sure I’m always warm enough and I have enough tea!

I honestly can’t recommend him enough and I can’t wait to see him again!

Fantastic shoot with a fantastic photographer. Dave is an absolutely amazing and talented artist (and I literally mean he creates art)! His images are stunning and the way he works is highly professional. Dave shot me from so many different angles, he showed me myself. I love every single picture that we have created together. The shoot was so fun that I did not want it to end, I didn’t even know the time throughout!

Last but not least, Dave is such a nice, intelligent and easygoing person that it was such a pleasure to work together ... and many more in the future I hope!

Thenediel

I always love working with Dave at his home studio. He had some really great ideas and themes to work with, and we always get amazing images together.

Even when working with rope ties and suspension, I always feel safe and at ease when we are shooting together.

100% recommended from me! x

I Really enjoyed meeting and shooting with Dave! One of my favourite shoots to date.

He is really courteous and patient, a very interesting character, made me feel totally at ease and we had a very fun shoot all round! He was full of ideas and has produced some amazing images.

Looking forward to the next one (:

Thenediel

I had another awesome shoot with Dave at his home studio.

He is a truly wonderful person to be around, and has a great eye for a photo.

His extensive knowledge of Shibari is really comforting, as when we are working on large or complicated ties, I know I am in safe hands.

I recommend him to anyone! x
