Well, David’s other reviews weren’t wrong! What a great guy. We had our first shoot together today, I felt incredibly relaxed from the get go and found him to be really great company, the hours flew!

We shot a variety of images, and David clearly knows what’s what. Really excited to see the images as what I saw on the back of the camera were very promising. Hands down one of the nicest people- cannot recommend enough

Thanks again David, hopefully will see you again :)

Firstly, my apologies that it took me so long to leave a reference! Not sure how I managed to miss that

I had a great first shoot with David at his home location. Pre comms were very good, the shoot was well planned but we still had time to experiment and try some new ideas. David is really easy to work with, I felt extremely comfortable working with him and we had a good laugh throughout. We did a set that involved me getting wet, so he made sure all heating was on so I could stay as warm as possible, which i really appreciated (especially as I'm always cold!)

Highly highly recommended and I would be more than happy to work with him again

First shoot with David and what brilliant shoot to end the year on

He is a true professional and I felt comfortable from the start, david picked me up from the station and took me to his home location which was beautiful.

We shot a range of different creative poses making sure the lighting was set up correctly for each set, the photos all looked amazing and the time flew by.

David played around with different lighting set up which brought out my best features in the shots, he captured so many good images throughout.

Overall wonderful to work with and a awesome photographer, super highly recommended!

Thank you

David and I had our first shoot today and honestly it was one of the best initial shoots I've ever had.

He's super welcoming, really easy to work with and he's full of brilliant ideas.

100% recommended.

I shot with David a couple of weeks ago, over at his beautiful home and the fields surrounding - such a beautiful day, and idyllic area! We made use of the wonderful natural light in the house, using furniture to create some cool Helmut Newton style shots, got a bit soggy and experimented with rope, wandered out to the fields and got angelic on a chair, skipped about like a little fairy queen, and reflected under a tree - the images are stunning!

David is lovely, very chilled, chatty, calm and has an artistic eye - would highly recommend to all models, he's an excellent human bean.

I had the true pleasure of meeting and working with David at his fabulous home studio :-)

David is a true professinal and gentlemen

He brings ideas, communicating those clearly and efficiently (often by posing himself first - always admirable and helpful), giving great direction and leaving room for you to explore add ideas.

I really enjoy working with him- He's professional, considerate and a brilliant photographer! Happily recommended to all models!

Im very excited to see the final results! We rocked it!

My kindest regards

Absolutely loved meeting you and working with you!

Organising the shoot was spot on and effortless with no problems at all. You arrived at my house on time and with a few ideas ready to work.

The conversation flowed easily throughout and I felt completely at ease.

Not a negative thing to say from me and I recommend to all xX

Had a shoot with David for a couple of hours at a studio day at Aura Studios in Newmarket, and what a shoot it was!

David got a little caught up in traffic but as soon as he reached the studio, we cracked on with all the amazing ideas he brought to the table - all of the cool angles, some brilliant camera techniques that I've seen before, doing a mix of fashion, nude, and all of the Arty obscurity. It was such a good shoot!

He's a friendly soul, creative and chilled, super respectful too. Would highly recommend working with David to all models, he's a proper gent!

Thanks again, until next time!

Wow wow wow!

What an epic shoot with David! His pre comms were excellent and we arranged the shoot with no problems at all.

David was so fantastic to work with, he had prepared an amazing dance and art nude Pinterest board. David is kind, warm and has a lovely persona. We had lots of mini breaks and he regularly showed me the back of the camera. I was so so excited during the shoot because the images were absolutely outstanding. He nailed them and he should be super proud.

Thanks for a great shoot David!!!

Had my first shoot with David on Thursday when he responded to one of my castings.

Pre shoot communication was spot on and he shared many of his ideas with me before the shoot so I could come up with locations, outfits and so I could have an idea of what he wanted to get out of the shoot.

In person David is a lovely person who always takes your well-being into account throughout the shoot.

He has also got the photos back to me very quickly and they will be looked at today.

Thank you for a good shoot and look forward to working with you again David.

100% recommend

David managed to slip in a shoot with me on his way back home from work. He had lots of cool ideas and even brought along his ipad so he could show me the kind of shots that inspired him.

David was filled with energy and was rushing around the place thinking on what to use for props for the shots he had in mind. I really do hope to model for him again. We even did a flour and water shoot (mixed together) which I had never done before (little tip if you ever do this do not put it in your hair) and the photos turned out so well :)

David came with all the equipment he needed for the shoot and was just so much fun to model for. I recommended other models to shoot with him. You will not regret it :)

I absolutely enjoyed my shoot with David, what a talented, creative, witty and kind guy!

He was really innovative and full of ideas, ethusiastic and accommodating - I was able to pose freely and offer my input.

We couldn't quite have a go at all of his fabulous ideas due to wet freezing weather on the location part of the shoot but that only means we need to hang out and make art again sometime! Had heaps of fun today and I'm looking forward to our images :)

I had a wonderful first shoot with David right at the very end of last year. David is a wonderful person, super welcoming and a really nice guy. I was very well looked after, lots of coffees and the shoot style was relaxed but very productive. David had some definite ideas he wanted to work through but was happy also with a couple of suggestions I made. His house is a great space to shoot from with some lovely grey walls.

I really like the images we produced, and all so different from each other.

Thanks again David, and perhaps we can do it again some time.

Highly recommended

Had a fabulous shoot with David recently at my studio day held at Hallam Mill. On the day David was friendly, easy going and organised.

In a short space of time we managed to cover a variety of sets and David had very imaginative ideas. He also allowed me to have an input and pose freely.

From what I have seen the results are brilliant and looking forward to seeing more:).

Thank you for a wonderful shooting experience and I hope we are able to work together again in the future.

Highly recommended!

I had an amazing photoshoot with David on Sunday! He had some great ideas for the shoot and also arranged a great MUA! He is a very proffessional, talented but easy going photographer and I can just say it was an absolute pleasure working with him! We had great conversation all throughtout the photoshoot and his home studio was ideal and fully equiped.

I am absolutely pleased with the results from this photoshoot with him, as he has taken some stunning shots and we have created some amazing images! I can say it was absolute pleasure working with him, I would definetly work with him again and would recommend him to anyone! Five Stars!

We put our shoot together literally so last minute that it was a case of communications - done, prep - done and that same afternoon I was on the road to Glossop! Even with the lack of time to plan and pack, it's one of the most rewarding studio style shoots I have had as of late and that was all down to the photographer I shot with and how much of a great shoot he made it for us. He is so lovely to work with, literally his etiquette is flawless but it does not stop there at all... this man is such an unbelievably smart eye behind that camera! We had a number of inspiration examples to play around with once we got into the flow; some of really challenging nature where the light was concerned, this wasn't about to phase David though. :D If it wasn't cooking on gas straight away, just the tiniest tweak and we go from 0-60 with one lovely shot after another. The best shoot that could have transpired that Saturday afternoon with all the variety of a shoot that could have been planned for months!

The hospitality I received was certainly on the cracking side as well! Respectful in every sense and an awesome chatter-buddy for the duration of the shoot, we got on so well and I cannot give enough praise as to how happy and comfortable I was throughout the session.The setup at his home is terrific, we even made use of the natural light too as everything just came together nicely. The communications where bob on (in the short time we needed them), the creative teamwork just immense and the hot brew - delish!!! Recommended with a rating that tops the scale, I am 100% certain that other models will have an equally amazing shoot with David.

Wonderful photographer here!

He let me be as creative as i wanted to be, he himself was an expert in terms of lighting and angles. Loved working with him, had music to keep the flow going in the background and just generally easy to get along with!

Don't miss out on some amazing shots for your portfolio!
