I had the almighty pleasure of shooting with David for the first time just before I had moved in to my new home so it was great getting some insight of the surrounding area from him :)

David’s pre comms were on point so I knew what to pack ahead of time, as well as some great directions on how to find him as the post codes around here aren’t entirely accurate to say the least haha I was warmly welcomed and offfered coffee on arrival, we started the day off shooting in David’s brilliant home studio which had both incredible natural light as well as being well equipped with flash, and it has to be said that David sets up quickly as well, we got some awesome sets done on David’s poses blocks, I really need to get some of those myself!

Once we had gotten a few safe sets done we decided to embrace the wilderness and pop out on location, and by a stroke of luck we found a wicked little poppy field to shoot in!

I really loved shooting with David it was such a nice and relaxed atmosphere and he’s just so easy to work with, chatty, friendly, professional and he also takes a fantastic shot, what more could you ask for! :)

So of course he comes very highly recommended by me!

Thank you for a great day, and I hope to work with you again in the future,

I had a brilliant first shoot with David. His pre comms were great.

The shoot flew by, we could have easily gone on for a couple more hours! He made me feel very comfortable, and worked hard to get the right shot.

David and I couldn't stop talking so that speaks volume! He's super friendly and great at giving direction.

I am looking forward to working with him again and highly recommend.

David was fantastic to work with! His pre comms were excellent and we organised a three hour home shoot quickly and easily.

David turned up and he was a pleasure to be around, his work flow is very calm and he let me get into my creative flow. The conversation was diverse and interesting, we took some stunning images and I really enjoyed myself.

Thankyou David! You come highly recommended from me :)

Communication was great from the start. We discussed ideas for the images weeks before the shoot. David collected me from the train station on the day, once in the studio he was very good at giving direction and knowing how to achieve the best results from each set. I had a really enjoyable afternoon and although David is a very busy man, he got the images to me within a couple of days. Would highly recommend.

Had a really fun shoot with Dave, my first shoot and Dave really helped me start coming out of my shell and helped me to calm myself to get the best shots, I’d highly recommend anyone to work with him, look forward to doing some shoots in the future and seeing the end results!

Another lovely shoot with David, this time at Thurston Lodge.

He was kind enough to put me up the night before the shoot again, I have now stayed with him and his family on numerous occasions and they are always so welcoming and make me feel really at home.

We always have great fun working together, he is extremely respectful and great company :)

Highly recommended by me!

Had a really good shoot with David last week. He has a lovely studio to work in. Very friendly guy and was able to help me with some of my poses. Very pleased with the pictures I saw and can’t wait to see more of them :) Would definitely work with David again and reccomend him to anyone!

I was so glad I had an apportubity to work with him again! So easy to work with and time just fly by ! He’s really good with lighting set up making this nice magazine quality pictures ! What I liked a lot that he’s open to ideas , so that’s when the team Work kicks in and it’s so much fun. I can’t recommend him high enough and hope to work again in the future ! Thank you x

David is an incredible photographer, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

I first shot with him on the 3rd, at the Talliston house and Gardens Shoot!

He is such a gentleman, extremely creative and knows exactly what he wants from an image!

Would love to shoot with him again, and highly recommend!

David is an absolute pleasure to work with. Looks after the model with coffee (very important!), polite, good sense of humour, easy to get along with and has a wonderfully diverse range of ideas. He knows his lighting and setup well, and is uses them brilliantly to get what looked like some really excellent shots from the back of the camera. We shot several looks, using a range of lighting techniques, including gels, for which David picked nicely complimenting colours, and finished with some more moody lighting which was one of my favourites! Really hope to work together again in the future

Thanks for a great shoot

Worked with Dave yesterday and we got some awesome shots, I came with a new comer model called Donna and he made her feel very at ease and gave her that confidence she needed. I'd reccomend Dave for any project, great photographer and great personality

Look forward to working with you again

Working with David was a real pleasure as I felt we were on the same wavelength throughout the shoot. He took on board the goals that I’d set myself and we both worked hard to achieve what we’d set out to do.

He is a lovely person to work with; I was highly impressed by his knowledge of photography and very grateful for him helping me nail some tricky editorial fashion poses on our mood board. I was delighted by what I was seeing back of camera because I knew then that I’d found an absolute gem of a photographer! Still not sure what Stibnite means, but I’ll ask him on our next shoot :-)

I've worked with Dave a few times over the last few years, and each time is really lovely.

We have shot in a few different locations now, twice at his own home studio set up and then twice elsewhere. This time we worked at The Natural Light Studio in Northampton, a new location for me. It was superb! Such a good choice by Dave and really glad I got the chance to shoot there.

As always Dave had ideas to work on and from what I saw we got some beautiful images.

Always have a good natter and he is ridiculously easy to get on with :)

Happily recommended !

Zami

Just had an amazing shoot with Dave! Very friendly and professional, makes you feel comfortable and warm. Very open minded and talented as well as creative! Highly recommended and hope to work again in the future

Rachelle Summers

Another shoot with Dave, and as before him and his wife were kind enough to let me stay whilst I was visiting the area! It's always a pleasure to see them both and catch up, but working with Dave is also really fun and enjoyable. The shoots are always laid back and we have a good ol' natter whilst working our way through sets, really nice relaxed atmosphere and I feel totally at ease around him now too :)

Great guy and great company! Highly recommended :D

I worked with Dave just yesterday for half a day at my place.

Communication before hand was great- we left the day open and kind of made it up as we went along ideas wise- which was fine with me!

Dave arrived on time and was a pleasure to work with for the afternoon. We chatted loads, took some super shots and had a really fun time! I am looking forward to seeing the results and hopefully working with Dave again one day.

Highly recommended from me! Thank you Dave :)

Isabelle

I had a photoshoot with Dave today, and thoroughly enjoyed my whole time at his home studio. He has some brilliant ideas, and the equipment to pull them off. He made me feel comfortable, he's easy to talk to and brilliant with giving direction.

I'd recommend him 100%, hope to work with him again myself and can't wait to see how the photos turn out! Thanks!
