My 1st visit to David’s lovely studio. What a nice man. Great lighting, had a sense of humour and a full biscuit tin, he must have re-stocked as there was a great selection.

I had a really great group shoot at David's studio recently.

He's very easy to get on with, pre comms were great and he allowed me plenty of time and creative input.

He clearly knows how to get the most out of his space and set up some really great lighting effects - we got some gorgeous images!

I hope I get invited back and I would recommend David to models of all levels!

Thanks again for a wonderful night x

Dave is not only a fantastic photographer but a great friend too.

I truly love coming to the studio, the ideas, setting, styling, atmosphere and creating the images of Dave’s vision. Thanks for having me again!

Highly recommended

Where do I start? David is an incredible photographer.

The atmosphere of the studio is so lovely, the studio has an array of beautiful clothes and accessories. David and his wife also greeted me and my partner with a choice of refreshments, and I had my own dressing room that made me feel at ease.

David also has such a funny personality, I think I spent the entire photoshoot laughing! It was a really enjoyable shoot. I would 100% recommend David as a photographer and can’t wait to collaborate again 😊

I had the most enjoyable shoot with David and his lovely wife in their fantastic studio during my tour of the Leicester area! Our pre-communication was excellent. David sent me a quick message with amazing ideas that I was thrilled to bring to life!

On the day of the shoot, David and his wife greeted me with a big smile, made some tea for me, and showed me their amazing studio! Oh, how many wonderful sets, decorations, props, and outfits they have!

David created beautiful settings, crafted the perfect looks, and set up great lighting! We had a fantastic 4-hour shoot that was relaxed, creative, and fun! David was joking the whole time, we had fantastic music, delicious snacks, and the atmosphere was great! Working with them was so easy and exciting! The great styling and amazing ideas were impressive! They showed me the pictures on the back of the camera, and they look absolutely stunning!

I was thrilled that we managed to work together and achieve these incredible results!

It was a fantastic shoot, and I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future sessions. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you again! Thank you!🤗

I worked with David again recently for another 1-2-1/1-2-2 with his wife and then a group shoot!

He picked me up at the nearest train station and even dropped me at Derby after the shoot to make sure I could make it home safe, which is much appreciated.

We shot some cute 1940s/50s vintage shots with a couple of different looks and then did a range of outfits and lighting set ups for the group shoot.

The group of togs is always friendly at David's studio, he also has plenty of outfits, shoes and accessories to help with any look you're going for!

David is a pleasure to work with, super friendly, professional and enthusiastic! Recommended:)

I shot with David for the first time during a group shoot at his studio, studio 3 by severn. He was incredibly welcoming, offering me a coffee and snacks and making sure I was warm while he showed me around his well-stocked studio. His pre comms were excellent and he was incredibly organised, he knew exactly what outfits he wanted me to bring and the shoot went really smoothly as he had already planned out an order of what he wanted to shoot. He's a really funny guy, and so the time flew by. He was encouraging throughout and was good at giving directions to achieve the shots he wanted. He even went out of his way to make sure I got home safely at the end of the shoot. I haven't seen the edited photos yet but the back of camera photos looked great, and he managed to capture a wide variety of shots, from moody to bright to soft. I'd definitely reccomend him

My first time working with David didn't disappoint! He is a very lively, chatty and thoughtful character, full of creative ideas. It was great to work with him and his group too.

We had a great pin up/vintage inspired shoot at his studio, where we got through a varied amount of looks and set ups, which all looked great. I was shown images the back of the camera throughout, which is always good. I look forward to seeing the final images and shooting again sometime!

Omg it's been far too long since I shot with David!

I really enjoyed our shoot on Tuesday :D David is bloody hilarious, makes good cuppa's, is super talented (the list is endless).

Oh and he has more props and outfits in that studio than any other studio I have seen!

Shooting with him is an absolute breeze and couldn't recommend him more to other models! You're seriously missing out if you haven't yet.

Hopefully we shoot again at some point this year or something as there's no way I'm letting another 8 years + fly by!

I worked with David for his photography group last night, he is an incredible photographer from what I could see on the camera and I can’t wait to see the finished result! He made me feel comfortable and was very chatty, he’s professional and respectful. I hope to work with David again in the future! 100% recommend!

Joanna Rose

Where do I even begin???

I don’t think David could have made me feel anymore welcome, valued, respected, blessed and comfortable than he has today. AND, this was my first shoot with him. I was lucky enough to be hosted by David at his studio for a studio day! It went FANTASTIC.

The communication from David was spot on from the start. David came down to the car park to greet me and helped me carry my things up to the studio. I received a full tour of the building, changing room and the studio. We instantly clicked! We had such a laugh, shared stories and of course captured some outstanding shots! David ensured I had everything I needed throughout the entire day, including drinks and snacks! Gave me sufficient breaks throughout shoot slots, I felt extremely looked after.

David is a very talented photographer who puts in 100% into each shot he takes. It is no surprise he has come to this much success with his photography career. If you get the chance to work with David, grab it! I can assure any model that they will be in good hands.

Thanks again David and I can’t wait to work with you again!

David booked me for a last minute group shoot at his studio recently, I shot 1-1 with him beforehand and he was great with his direction and we shot a few different sets.

He was great to work with, super chill and friendly and made sure I had cups of tea throughout!

We then did a small group shoot with multiple set ups and outfits, very relaxed and enjoyable.

I would definitely recommend :)

David contacted me to model for the day on Sunday and I am so grateful he asked me to.

I was looked after all day and nothing was ever too much to ask.

He is a very talented photographer, great with lighting and direction and would love to go back again.

David contacted me to ask about working with him and on a group shoot at his studio. Needless to say, having seen his incredible work I soon jumped at the chance!! Pre comms were great (and very entertaining!), I soon knew this was going to be a wicked shoot!!

When I arrived I was made to feel instantly welcome!! The studio is absolutely fantastic, there are so many sets, props, backdrops, clothing etc etc the list just goes on!!! We shot through a few different sets and the results on the back of the camera were incredible!!

Shooting with David is so much fun, he's great to talk to and a very talented photographer, he allowed me to pose freely but equally was happy to give me some direction.

I would highly recommend David and his fantastic studio and look forward to working with him again soon!! Thank you so much David!!

Ashleigh Rae

Well, well, well…

David Severn!

I’ve been working with David for many years, and always look forward to visiting the studio.

David is very clever with his lighting, and a skilled photographer who I always enjoy working with.

The studio has a great atmosphere, the kettle is always on, and there is SO much equipment for photographers and models, even including some of the most gorgeous clothing for shoots. (Shout out to Pam)

Super grateful to be one of David’s returning models. I highly recommend the studio to both models and photographers.

Thank you!!!

And can’t wait for my studio day in October!

I had my first photoshoot with David on the Saturday just gone, and I would definitely do a shoot with him again. Upon arrival he came across very outgoing, had plenty to talk about, bags of personality, confident and a sense of humour. He showed me round the studio, offered me a cold or hot drink, and once we had a little introduction he took me into the dressing room that had so many stunning vintage outfits and we got ready to start shooting! He had some incredible ideas and new exactly what sort of images he wanted to create, chose a few nice outfits with different backdrops, props and lighting & I felt comfortable straight away. His attitude was upbeat + positive, and it went by so fast! I usually like to do around a 3 hour shoot with photographers which I did with David, but with it flying by and being so much fun I’d be up for shooting longer with him again in future.

I recommend him to both new and experienced models, he’s been in the industry for a long time, knows his stuff, is very respectful and considerate so I rate him 5 star! 🌟

David is a really easy going and fun guy. I met him for the last time last night during a studio booking. His studio is packed with opportunities with a well stocked wardrobe. He has a creative eye and captures wonderful images. The shoot was fun, easy going and I felt extremely comfortable throughout. Looking forward to working with David again in the future

2nd time shooting with David.. its been 2years since our last shoot.

Even though it had been a while since the last shoot I instantly felt comfortable when I arrived.

A warm welcome from David, a private and comfortable dressing room.

This made it a relaxed and fun shoot and time just flew.

David and the group showed me what they captured and there were some fantastic shots.

Great shoot, thanks for having me.
