I had the most fabulous second shoot with Dave. Before the shoot we went to this stunning little rural coffee place as it was a beautiful day and we had time to kill before the shoot. Dave booked golden valley studio which is a gorgeous outdoor studio, it even has a bed outside!

There were so many options to choose from during the shoot and we got some stunning images. It was lots of fun and flew by as good shoots always do. I definitely recommend and look forward to working with him again.

Working with Dave for the first time today was an absolute delight! He is so wonderful and very polite, passionate about maintaining boundaries and incredibly easy to talk to! The conversation started and never stopped from the moment I entered the studio to the moment I got out of the car on the way home! Dave allowed me to see the RAW images at every point of the shoot to ensure that we turned out some really beautiful stuff. 10/10 recommend and look I very much look forward to working with him again!

It was my first time working with Dave and definitely won't be the last. He booked me as part of my tour to Gloucester and came to shoot me at my photographer friend's house. It turns out Dave knows him as well so that was nice. We had chatted before the shoot that we would be shooting boudoir images that he could use to promote his boudoir photography business. We worked to tasteful nude as well. I loved the whole shoot. Dave was showing me the images as we went along and I loved them. I would recommend him to everyone and hope to work with him again.

I took a year out from modelling and had my first returning shoot today with Dave - he's a good friend at this point and is always fantastic on shoots. He'd got everything set up and warmed the studio up for me before I arrived, which was greatly appreciated.

We ran through various sets and he did some experimental shots with some gels; I feel we both got what we were wanting out of the shoot. Dave's communication pre-shoot is always fantastic, he always gets images back to models in good time and the back of camera shots looked great.

We were able to chat and have a laugh throughout the shoot and he was patient during outfit changes. It was a very warm welcome back into the modelling world... I'd always recommend Dave to both experienced models and first-timers.

Thanks again!

I've been so impressed by Dave from start to finish.

His pre-shoot comms are always perfect, from planning what we wanted to shoot to where we were going to shoot and directions whilst on set. Everything was clearly presented, messages were professional, warm & friendly, and Daves years of experience working with a variety of models was evident. On our shoot day he was friendly and chatty and she couldn't have done more to make me feel at ease.

I would absolutely recommend collaborating with Dave to all Models and look forward to creating with him again in the near future.

Thank you both for a productive and very positive shoot

Kindest regards

This is probably my fortieth shoot with Dave, he's great to work with, is always on time and ready to go and trusts me enough to let me put together my own outfits and poses, doesn't need to give me much direction but will sometimes tell me to go back to a pose if it worked - he's always on point with getting photos sent to me quickly and is happy to show BOC shots. I know he'd delete anything I wasn't happy with. I completely trust Dave to do a great job and he's become a great friend of mine over the years we've been shooting together. I would always recommend him. Thank you!!

Dave was a great Photogropher it was a pleasure working with him, I had a shoot with Dave today, for the first time meeting him, he was very professional I wanted sexy lingerie shots and that’s exactly what I received. He was great with suggesting ideas, made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, he took some great photos and showed me them all at the end which was nice! Thanks Dave look forward to working with you in the future

Had another shoot with Dave today, had a great time - did a bit of making it up as we went along. I have known Dave for a long time and we work well together, he's always patient while I get ready and knows what he's doing in the studio, very professional throughout and gets images back quickly. I'll always recommend Dave to any models. Thanks again!

Had a great shoot with Dave today, it was great to be back. He was there early and ready to shoot, is always open to suggestions for shooting and allows me the freedom to choose my own outfits, trusts me to do my own hair and make up before a shoot and often allows me to free pose for the whole shoot. He got images back to me in a timely manner and is always great fun to shoot with. As always, 100% recommended and am keen to shoot with him again! Thanks Dave!

Had a lovely shoot with Dave in Bath! Funnily enough we met a few days prior at a studio open day, where I already felt welcomed by his warm and professional attitude. We had a great shoot, capturing a range of stunning images. Dave gave good directions and wonderful advice.

Would definitely recommend Dave, and look forward to working together again in the future. :)

Thank you Dave Brookes for building my confidence back up. You made me feel at ease during this shoot. You never once made me feel uncomfortable. You know what works in a photo and what don’t. Your a very talented photographer with great eye for detail. I am extremely happy with the images. I don’t smile very often and Dave reassured me I do have a nice smile.

Highly recommend D & K Boudoir. Don’t miss out!

Had a great shoot with Dave on Thursday evening, after the original other model I was supposed to shoot with cancelled another. We managed to find another model to stand in so we didn't have to cancel the shoot. Dave was happy to accommodate and was happy to let both me and the other model lead the shoot in terms of outfits and posing. He was patient whilst we were changing sets / discussing ideas and was very respectful of covid guidelines during the shoot. Dave is a great person to work with and always a good laugh. I know there will be some fab images from this shoot, thank you again!

It was my first shoot today with Dave we have a nice bit of toast each with hot drink it was lovely just to sit down and talk before the shoot. He is bundle of laughs he did laugh at me walking me heels but it funny if you see it😂 we did some fashion and underwear! He knew how to get the right picture with getting in different angles. He is a top photographer I would recommend him to Anyone,

Looking forward to more shoots with Dave

Had another shoot with Dave recently - my first one since August. This was a port update for me and Dave kindly let me choose my own outfits, styling and poses throughout the shoot and was encouraging and supportive of the things which I chose. His pre-comms are always fab, he arrived on time and ready to shoot and is always a pleasure to work with. Thank you for another great one!

Had a great shoot with Dave at Guys Cliffe - an organised event. The location is gorgeous and we managed to get some brilliant shots. Dave was kind enough to drive us down there and buy lunch. I had a great time, he was patient with me whilst I was changing sets and reapplying suncream and his pre-comms were perfect (as always), I look forward to our next shoot together and thank you for another fab one!

Had an amazing first shoot with Dave. I loved the way he worked and the ideas he had! Can’t wait for another shoot with him!!

Worked with Dave twice now. He's fab to work with. He knows what he wants and lets me get on with it. He puts the model at ease and there is never any pressure, the shoot is very relaxed. Dave is down to earth and easy to get along with, he is also talented. I look forward to working with him again soon.

Madame Tease

My first shoot with Dave, great pre shoot comms regarding my casting.

Very professional & friendly, felt totally at ease.

Got the style of images I wanted for my casting, then used the extra time to do some boudoir sets as well.

Really hope I get to shoot with Dave again & again soon, he is a lovely guy to work with.

Highly recommend to all :)
