I had so much fun shooting with David’s weekly photography group! I’ve never shot with a group before but I felt very welcomed and had a good laugh. He was a great host, provided light refreshments and made sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone there was respectful and polite, I’d 100% recommend!

David invited me to his studio's weekly group shooting meetup and it was a blast! David was extremely patient with me when I got a bit lost trying to find the studio and overall gracious as a host. His studio's dressing room had a wardrobe available, so he was always open to just trying things out and managed to make everything work with the inclusion of beautiful props (apparently he also has a penchant for treasure hunting) and tweaks in lighting. The other photographers at the meetup were extremely respectful as well. I'm quite shy in front of groups of new people but at no point did any of them make me uncomfortable once I got over my initial timidity. Lovely photographer, would recommend!

Why we are only just working together when we are in the same area I'll never know!!

Such a friendly chap, really chatty, sense of humour and a great photographer. You know lighting!

Communication was spot on with you while arranging the shoot and the conversation flowed easily throughout the shoot. There was never a dull moment and I felt totally at ease.

Hope to see you again. Recommended to all xX

Just got back from another evening studio shoot with David and the gang! Managed to shoot for an hour with the lovely Pam! Every time I visit the studio it’s an absolute ball! Thank you David!

Wednesday March 6th saw me working with David for the second time in a month, with him again successfully bringing an array of photographers together, this time for an vintage-type shoot at Severn Studios in Long Eaton.

I found the experience of working witb David hugely rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable, with David again communicating effectively with his model and photographers, in doing so once more enabling great work to be carried out.

I'd love to work with David and Pam again, and would urge others thinking of doing so to jump in feet first.

Well what can I say. David was one of the first photographers I ever shot with and from the first shoot I knew that we would create some wonderful pictures and work together really well. On Saturday I went to Studio 3 by Severn to shoot a pinup/daisy duke shoot with 3 other lovely models. The shoot flowed beautifully and we all worked together really well on various different sets which were set up in the studio by David and Pam. David has a very strong work ethic and is so passionate about what he does, resulting in the production of fantastic images. I love working with David as he is extremely easy to get a long with, have a laugh with and overall an enjoyable shoot! I would highly recommend David and I can't wait to work with him again in the future.

I was invited to model at David’s studio day on Saturday and to also shoot for his wife Pam the day after. They were so accommodating and were on hand for anything that was needed. The shoot day ran smoothly and had a fantastic group of photographers and models. Their studio is well equipped! As I was shooting with them over 2 days, they were kind enough to put me in a hotel that was close by.

David and Pam are such lovely people and I had so much ease modelling for them. Pre comma were spot on and on the day, instruction were clear and concise. They especially had teas, coffees and biscuits on tap 😊 They have a full wardrobe so it wasn’t a worry if anyone forgot anything and there was plenty for new ideas. I would highly recommend David to any model, absolutely fab! I would love to shoot with David again and maybe I’ll see himself and Pam around Leamington when the weather gets warmer 😊

Saturday February 9th saw me working with David for the first time, and I'm delighted to report he triumphed in the never easy task of bringing an array of photographers and wide range of models together, this time for a '20s, 30s and 40s' shoot at Severn Studios in Long Eaton.

David ran the day in such a way as to make the experience hugely rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable for all concerned. David knows how to communicate effectively with models and other photographers, and in doing so enables great picture making with perfect lighting and framing.

I'd love to work with David and Pam again, and would urge others thinking of doing so to seize any opportunity that comes their way.

Thanks again David.

Was contacted and invited to Davids studio for a group shoot and at first I was a little nervous with it being my very first group shoot but upon arrival I was offered a range of food and drink and made to feel relaxed, welcomed and at easy by both David and his wife and the other photographers. Was an absolute pleasure meeting them all and it was such a relaxed and fun shoot. David and his wife are lovely, passionate and friendly people with a good sense of humour and good chit-chat which makes them so easy to get along with and work with. Thank you for a great day and hopefully work together again soon.

I had a lovely shoot with David and his group at their Loft studio space.

David was polite, professional and on hand when needed.

Before I go on I must say omg the amount of stunning costumes, outfits, shoes and inspiration in that studio is insane! I could have spent a whole week there and still be coming up with brand new concepts and ideas with this creative bunch :)

I am so happy David decided to book me, the evening was full of laughter smiles and the art and images we created were beautiful!

Thank you David, I hope we get another chance to shoot :)

Highly recommended!

Had my first shoot with David and he was amazing! He's so helpful and is full of good ideas and advice.

David has a very fine eye for detail and always aims to capture the perfect image! He strives for the best and gets exactly that! It's clear he's an expert at what he does.

I'd recommend David to EVERYBODY :) Thank you

Had an AWESOME shoot at David's Studio. It was a Steampunk/Gothic style shoot which must have taken an age to organise, together with 5, yes 5 models and many different sets. David and his wife Pam worked tirelessly throughout the day to make sure the event was a total success.

I cannot recommend David and his studio highly enough...it is inspiring!

I had a wonderful time shooting with David and his group, they were all very enthusiastic and lovely to work with. David’s sense of humour didn’t fail to make me giggle. Would definitely recommend and I hope to work with him again in the future :)
