I had a last minute shoot with the awesome Dave and beautiful wife Maria who was director (and cheerleader which was so lovely) on a recent hotel weekend of shooting in Glasgow. We had spoke back and forward over social media a few times so it was great to finally meet and work together.

Dave and Maria knew exactly what they wanted to capture, pre-shoot comms wete precise and let me know exactly what to expect from the shoot.

We had a portrait session followed by the idea of Dave's, of a "Jane Bond" theme - which was right up my street and awesome fun to capture.

Lighting, composition, flattering angles, best spots to suit the theme were all very well thought out and I think the results speak for themself on how talented Dave is.

He and Maria were professional, fun, and just a great team to have the opportunity to work with.

I highly recommend Bear Necessities to models and other creatives - you will have an excellent experience with some just as excellent results.

Thankyou for booking me Dave, hopefully it won't be our last shoot :)

I’ve worked with Dave a couple of times now and would definitely work with him again ! He is super professional and you can tell he’s very passionate about his work, whenever working with him I’ve always felt very comfortable and able to relax and have fun with the shoots :) I would definitely recommend him to any model just starting or experienced. I Hope to work together again in the future :)

Fantastic first shoot with Dave today at a little red foxes event.

He came with tons of props and a really clear idea of what he wanted to shoot. He gave good direction and was a pleasure to work with.

Love the photo I’ve seen already and can’t wait to see the rest!

I had a great time working with Dave yesterday on a Little Red Foxes group shoot in Glasgow.

His direction was fantastic and I loved getting to learn some historically accurate sword-fighting poses. He also very sweetly gave myself and another model a lift back to the station.

I already love the one photo he's uploaded on here and would definitely recommend! :)
