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!

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!!

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.

I worked with David for the first time yesterday on a fashion and creative styling shoot. David was a true professional and so friendly and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend and work with him again, his studio is fab too.

He is great fun and creative to work with; we bounced ideas off each other and had a good variety of outfits and photos. The studio lighting was fantastic and a great variety of backdrops and props available too.

He had a really good eye for what he wanted on the shoot and was very positive and chatty to work with. Made me feel completely at ease as and was very welcoming & friendly to my assistant who comes to my shoots.

Thanks again for a great shoot,

Poppy 😊

Another great shoot with David today, along side 2 other togs who I shot with for a couple of hours leaving David until last, all I can say is wow ! I absolutely love the shots we got we concentrated on silhouette style black and white with some red gel towards the end and it worked perfectly ! Very pleased with the outcome and can’t wait to work with him again for more shoots. Thank you for having me back David

I booked a slot on David's 1920's shoot. He was really helpful from first communication and all the way through the shoot. He helped me understand the lights and how to get the best use of my camera.

He agreed to set up Hollywood lighting for me as well and gave me pointers throughout the shoot.

Naomi Anne

David is such a fun and talented photographer to model for.

He has a fantastic range of vintage to modern day, corsets, lingerie and dresses. It was so exciting for me to be wearing clothes that were from the 1910s!

The entire shoot that we had was brilliant. It was a truly enjoyable experience and I am very excited to work with him again.
