I had my shoot with David today, shooting with Posto 9 Fitness and Ibiza Bikinis. I cannot express how happy I am with how the day went, I arrived early and David took us for coffee and brought snacks for the day, he is extremely organised and so friendly yet professional on site.

One of my favourite shoots in my modelling history and without a doubt I would love to shoot with him again. Thank you!

David is truly talented at his craft.

As someone who had never shot fashion before, he gave me great directions that turned into amazing shots ( he was also very patient with me).

He made me feel comfortable as soon as I met him and I can't wait to work with him again!

David is just the best of the best. He was my first and will always be one of my very favourite photographers. He is a wholly experienced, gentleman and exceptionally talented photographer. He has an eye for detail and will always get the perfect shot. David is super chill, friendly, good fun and genuinely amazingly lovely person. I dont know what else to say without going overboard but HES AMAZING. Book him, like now ♥

There is little i can say about David that hasnt already been expressed both through the immense quality of his images and his outstanding reviews thus far!

He is truly a one of a kind and puts his all into every aspect of a shoot from pree shoot communications (of which we had over a months worth) to post shoot editing and including models in each part of the process.

He is one of my all time favourites and i cant wait to be able to work with him again, David came to me at a time i was questioning myself and my future as a model and has since not only been an extremely accommodating and professional photographer but has also gone way above the port of call and restored my passion for shooting with the immense amount of passion he radiates!

He is truly a star and i can not reccommend him enough!

David is an amazing photographer i had been dying to work with for a very long time and I finally got to shoot with him a few weeks back and it was 100% worth the wait!

David is a very fun, talented and creative person, he has a very easy going personality that just makes you feel at ease straight away.

Pre coms were probably some of the best I've ever had with a whole call sheet full of information !

Which made my job very easy as i knew exactly what i needed to bring and how to prepare correctly for our shoot.

Ive seen some edits from the shoot and I must say they are truly AMAZING!

I cannot wait to work with the lovely David again on lots more future projects!

I cannot recommend him enough!

Thank you for an amazing shoot :)

I've decided to keep David exclusively to myself so anyone who wants to work with him has to go through me - if your name's not down, you're not coming in. (He neither knows this or agrees to this as yet)

So, why do I love working with David? He is such a clever and talented man and keeps on growing. He hasn't even peaked his potential yet, which makes me very excited.

I enjoy the entire process of planning a shoot with David, moodboards, callsheets, just knowing what we want to achieve and making sure we are on the same wavelength before the shoot means when the day itself comes, we can enjoy working together and creating magic.

David is secure enough in his abilities to know if something isn't working, to change it. And if it is, to keep going and really nail it.

We achieved so many different set ups / looks from innocence to drama and everything in between.

I really can't wait to share the results.

It was great to work with you again David 😃

Had a great shoot with David! He was very professional and had such a great personality to be around, felt like two good friends shooting! I'm really happy with the pictures they've all come out amazing!

We shot on a really hot day with Jeff other photographer, Laura other model, Gemma the MUA and Antoninias as the designer. They were all such a lovely team to work with and I cannot wait to work with David and hopefully some of the other guys soon. I reccomend david for any project! Really amazing photographer and creates awesome shots!

Hopefully see you soon xx

I had my first ever shoot with David and I am over the moon with the results. I didn't know what to expect as I was completely new to modelling, only that the work I had seen of his before was jaw-dropping and I could not turn down an offer to work with such an excellent photographer!

Mr Long is exceptionally talented. Pre/post communications were top notch, he was a fabulous host and he has so much knowledge in all the relevant areas; teaching me all about posing, lighting and had a wide range of creative ideas for shoots. An expert in his field.

I hope I get to work with him again :-)

Mrs Shrinking Violet

I was a complete newbie when I shot with David. I have now had several shoots since and Mr Long stands out as a master of his craft. There is nothing this man cannot organise and no one he cannot make look amazing.

Pre and post shoot communication was second to none and there was a rapid turn around in edited images. He is a very fun and professional character and can make even the most camera shy model shine in front of the camera. He's a gent and I would recommend 100 %

I got to work with my favourite photographer again, making me a very happy Amy :-) and what a shoot! 3 models, 1 costume designer, 1 jewellery maker, 1 assistant and 1 videographer (and me too) meant that 8 people headed off into the woods to make dreams come true - and it rained all day!

David has fantastic pre communication, he turns up well prepared and on time, he directs models well and quite frankly 'gets the job done' even under horrible weather conditions! The results are amazing and I can't wait for them to be shared. I highly recommend David as a photographer with the bonus that he is a lovely person too :-)

Lola Day

I had a wonderful shoot with David at the weekend, despite the awful weather, he managed to keep me smiling all day. A whole team of us disappeared off into the woods in the rain to shoot some bridal couture. Pre-communications were excellent and I knew the exact moods, themes, postures and expressions that David was looking for so I felt very confident that I could deliver what he wanted on the day.

David is an extremely talented photographer. The shots looked amazing even on the tiny screen. I'm very excited to see the finished results! It makes standing in the rain in the middle of no where totally worth it.

Absolutely recommend. Can't wait to work with him again!

Elle Beth

I had a wonderful shoot with David the other weekend, the weather was not on our side but despite this, David along with the whole team went ahead into the woods with the rain for some bridal couture.

The communications before the shoot were excellent, and i felt privileged to be chosen for such a shoot. me and the rest of the models were well cared for through out the day.

The shots i have seen are really beautiful and the communication since the shoot has been great.

Couldn't recommend David enough, i hope to work with him again!

I finally got the opportunity to work with David at an agency shoot I attended in October.

David was utterly brilliant! He managed to shoot a whole range of styles for a very large group of models and did a superb job. He was amazingly organised and pre/post-shoot communications were fantastic.

David worked industriously through an exceptionally long day and maintained his enthusiasm, humour and his genuinely lovely manner throughout. It is safe to say that David is one very cool cat - I think many would have crumbled within a couple hours at the hugely demanding task he had in hand.

Everyone loved working with him, utterly respected him and the images are absolutely stunning.

My highest possible recommendations!

Rana Miller MUA

Wow, what can I say about David. David organised a mass photoshoot with such great attention to detail. From the very first communication to the actual day, every aspect was carefully thought out. He fully engaged with all involved and I cannot wait to work with him again! His work speaks for itself....AMAZING!!

I had the pleasure to work with David, he was very professional and made me fell very comfortable. We were shooting in a circus and I had to to some crazy moves and David did assist me all the way till we've finished the shoot! The pictures that he took that OMG its amazing , I couldn't have a better photographer. I highly recommend him. Thanks David and I'm sure we will be shooting again soon :)

Amy Prifti

Yay!.... I had another chance to work with David again yesterday for a full on jam packed shoot and he just surprises me more every time I get to work with him!

Pre shoot communication is always amazing with scheduled and well thought out call sheets meaning when we turn up to the shoot everyone knows what they are doing and what their expectations are.

On the shoot itself David remains flexible and in control with a relaxed attitude to the entire process and he knows how to get the best out of everyone he works with.

A lot was achieved yesterday under very demanding circumstances and David achieved so much.

Working with David just gets better with each shoot and I can't wait until we work with eachother again.

One of my favourite photographers to work with :-)

Agata Grodek

I shoot with Dawid in Poland one year ago.

I don't have to say that he is great and talented photographer, because we can see it easily watching his portfolio,

so I just say that beside this he is very reliable, professional, concrete photographer and nice, easy going and very helpful person.

Have to say thanks for shoot we already had and I hope to shoot again in the future.

I recommend shooting with Dawid to every model.

ESL Group Beach Shoot.

I met David at a recent group shoot that he organised. This man is a true gentleman, not to mention hard worker, great communicator, and top photographer. Take a look at his work here on PP, and you will see just how creative this man is. Well worth shooting with. Highly recommended...

I had the pleasure of meeting David at the "over the rainbow" catwalk show back at the

Beginning of the year and then I got involved in the beach shoot he organised at the weekend. David is not only super organised and informative but he is an incredibly talented photographer and a genuinely nice guy. He spent a long time organising this event, every detail was carefully thought out and he kept is all informed with every step. His vision was amazing and the images he created are spectacular. His work really does speak for its self. I can't however stress enough how lovely he is a person and funny. We have all been laughing throughout the whole process which lead to a fun, creative and successful shoot.

In short he is a real talent and a pleasure to work with.

All-round cool guy - the group beach shoot I attended was meticulously pre-planned and then on the day had just the right mix of organisation and looseness that leads to creativity - would I participate in any other shoots planned by David and ESL (Exposure Studios London)? - you bet!
