References for DaveEd

Dave and I have worked together on several occasions now and it is always an absolute pleasure. He usually shoots alongside his friend Steve, whom is equally lovely to work with, in their local village hall. The space is fantastic and between them they bring a complete mobile studio, which they use to great effect to create a plethora of new and diverse images each time we meet. Biscuits, tea and conversation abound, Dave and Steve are professional, courteous and a joy to work with.

Highly Recommend.

Finally got to catch up with Dave at a recent group Shoot!

I love working with Dave! Hes funny chatty and really down to earth! Plus makes amazing coffee!

He made sure I was warm and ok during the shoot and really cares about the models :)

Cant wait to work with Dave again! :)

1000% would recommend! :)

This reference not only for Dave as a brilliant photographer and awesome person but also as this visit was for me to use his pop up studio to shoot with the fabulous nude model Amethyst. A reference for not only the studio itself but also for Daves prop, backdrop settings and lighting skills as well.

As someone that is used to setting my own lighting it was nice to sit back and watch Dave set it all up which he did with great skill. Which resulted in my having exactly the lighting that I wanted which has result in my going away with images I love.

I cant recommend Dave enough not only as a studio owner but also a brilliant tog and a lovely friendly person and a great friend.

Thanks Dave for being a great friend and host.

Dave visited the studio for the second time last week as part of the team shooting content for the High Wife Magazine.

Dave is a skilful, knowledgeable, and creative photographer, who knows his way around studio lighting, sets, and uses props to very good effect. Couple that with a great rapport with the models, and you have a winning combination for any shoot.

He is highly recommended and will always be welcome at the studio.

Yesterday was my second shoot with Dave as part of a group. He's a skilled photographer and will go the extra mile to get the best angles. He provided our images in a very timely manner and I hope to shoot with him one on one at some point as he has lots of creative ideas :)

YUP!

Recommended by Sparkly Sparkles to all models...

Stevie Ball and DaveEd are always awesome to work for (2nd time working with these guys)...

I feel very comfortable around both of them...

They have me smiling or giggling throughout the day...

So many good ideas and help each other out to create that perfect shot...

Loads of props and unique backdrops...

Their images from the back of the camera are incredible...

Thank you for booking me...

Shot today with Dave for our next issue of High Wife magazine, Dave was recommended and accompanied by another photographer I’ve shot with before. Best recommendation I’ve had in photography in a long time, the photos are amazing and that’s just from looking at the back of the camera! Happy to get down on the floor for some mega angles which the girls absolutely loved, so friendly, polite and easy to work with. Gives great direction when needed, will definitely be behind Dave’s lens again, and hopefully in the near future :)

Had a brilliant first shoot with Dave :) he is a talented photographer with a good eye for composition, he has a warm and friendly approach with a sprinkling of banter and I would certainly work with him again :)

Another perfect shoot with Dave at his fantastic pop up studio.

I arrived way too early (whoops!) But Dave and Steve were already there setting up for the shoot.

I had fun from start to finish and was made to feel completely relaxed and 'at home'.

It's always amazing how many sets Dave can put together at his pop up and he had SO many cool ideas to work with that there are plenty left over to fill another day of shooting! In fact, I think we could shoot all week and not run out of ideas!

I will be very excited for us to shoot together again, hopefully soon :)

Undoubtedly recommended to all other models

Its with great pleasure Im adding this reference for a great friend and fab photographer.

When i had to move my studio just under two years ago Dave was not only there to help move everything but spent hours and hours setting it up and helping build the new one. He was the first to use it and he was the last to use it with Amethyst at her model day on the last day before I closed it down.

Dave is not only a brilliant photographer but he is always totally professional at all times with which ever model he is working with. He is also brilliant at thinking outside the box with not only compositions but way out props and things most would not consider using which means he has a unique way of capturing images.

Add to this hes a really nice guy and Im proud to call him a friend and models if your looking for a brilliant fun professional photographer then you just have to work with Dave.

Thank you Dave for all you have done for me its a greatly appreciated

I had a fantastic shoot with Dave and his friend Steve at their specious pop-up studio not far from Birmingham International where David kindly picked me up from the station and droped me back. So happy that I could make it as it was between the railways strike days.

It was so much joy and delight to shoot with them and there were many wonderful props, fabrics and items to play with. We have shot different styles from fashion, lingerie, topless to art nude while the shoot was very fun and relaxed.

Dave made sure I was hydrated and refreshed during our shooting as it was a warm sunny day. He was excellent host and both of them were very creative and professional photographers.

Thank you and looking forward to our next shoot very soon 😀😘

I recently had a fantastic morning shooting with Dave and his friend Steve at their wonderful 'pop-up' studio.

They bought with them an array of props, backdrops, lighting... everything you could wish for, along with an abundance of ideas.

Both Dave and Steve were loads of fun to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend either of them and, of course, to work with them again together or individually.

Thank you for a lovely day and I'm so happy with what we created together!

I had a wonderful shoot with Dave last month!...

A couple of years before Covid was the last time I worked with Dave during a workshop so it was lovely to hear from him again!..

This time he invited me to shoot with himself and another photographer at their location.

Comms where fabulous and he arranged to pick me up and drop me off in time for my trains!

The whole shoot was fabulous, completely relaxed, we had a giggle and got some wonderful photos.. I felt really comfortable in the space I was working in and had everything I needed!...

There was also some extra fantastic props to work with!...

I would certainly recommend Dave to other models and would love to shoot with him again in the future!

Thanks again!!!

We've worked together quite a few times in the last four years or so... Today was different, with Dave, very kindly, coming along to 'assist' at a shoot with a band.

So helpful, spotting and sorting things before I'd noticed them - and also doing a spell shooing individual portraits of the band, so that we wrapped the whole thing up early.

Mates don't come better than this bloke.

Another amazing shoot with Dave! Recommended? Yes!! 100%!!

I had the chance to shoot again with Dave and Stevie this week for the first time at Dave’s “pop up” studio.

Very grateful he asked me to shoot together again, this was our third time working together and as always it was a joy from the start until the end :)

Dave pre communication was brilliant, he gave me enough details to be prepared at the best on the day.

On the day he kindly collected me from the train station to reach the studio. Studio was all set up and ready to shoot. Plenty of backdrops, lights, clothings, fabric and props to play with.

Dave as a photographer is brilliant, professional, plenty of ideas and creativity. Shoot are always very productive and fun.

Lovely personality and excellent host! He made sure I was comfortable all the way through, gave me a room to use as changing room, made one of the best coffee and brought a selection of my favorite cookies! Very thoughtful!

Totally recommended working with Dave and hopefully we’ll be shooting together again soon! Thank you Dave for the fantastic shoot! :)

INCREDIBLE!

OMG where to start with this reference...

If there is such a thing as the perfect shoot...this was it!

I noticed some really good references on their ports and thought I would contact them...so glad I did!

Dave and Stevie Ball work extremely well together (so I have decided to give them the same reference)...

I hadn't done a shoot in 4 days, so I had loads of energy and enthusiasm haha...

Dave and Steve are absolutely fantastic to work for...easy to get on with, super friendly, chatty, gentlemen (they were both always making sure I was warm, plenty of tea and not hungry), professional and respectful...

They are both soooooooo good at getting the lighting really good (totally different styles of lighting, which is one thing that makes it so fun to work for these guys)...

They brought loads of props that worked so well and the dress just made my hips look even more sexy haha...

We did a mixture of portrait, fashion, nudes and bodyscapes...

The time went so quick...

Thank you to both of you for booking me...

They are the best and I hope to see you both again...

Second time shooting with Dave last Saturday at Lampworks in Birmingham during a group shoot. I was surprised in a positive way when I first saw him as I remembered last time we shot together (almost a year ago now) it was great!!

Dave was a joy to work with: professional, creative, kind and friendly throughout. He came prepared with plenty of props and add his twist to the shots. He knew what he wanted achieve from the images and gave great directions when needed.

I love the first edits he made and I can’t wait to see more!

I would recommend 100% Dave to any models and creatives if you are looking to create beautiful images and a great overall experience with a professional dedicated photographer and lovely human being.

Thank you for the amazing day Dave and looking forward to our next shoot! :)

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave during a group shoot organised at Lampworks, Birmingham and from the very start of the shoot to the end, he was a pleasure to work with!

He was polite and professional throughout, which really helped to put me at ease. The back of camera shots I saw were fantastic and we're already discussing our next shoot, this time a 1-2-1!

Dates attention to detail is great, nothing smaller details that might otherwise obstruct the final image and he's definitely not hesitant to change his settings!

He worked well as part of the group dynamic and also well solo during his sets.

I'd definitely recommend Dave and wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future.

Thankyou for a fabulous shoot!

Yet again another fantastic shoot at daves pop up studio, pre coms great, amazing ideas as always.

Fully enjoyed the hole shoot,

100% recommend him to all.

Thanks again for a great shoot

Dave and I both have a same purpose in the photography world. To express, simply be and the love for photography. And to document this over years has become a story. A story of the tiny woman and also the story of the photographers lens. Told with photographs. How lovely. It's been joyful, content and a friendship.

If you have the same passion, to be safe and have lots of coffee, snacks and to feel so happy for expression, authenticity in the arts and craft, then book a shoot with Dave.
