References for Technikon

I modelled together with Lupinenoir for Dave's bodyscape project. First, all three of us met up at Dave's place to discuss the details of the project. Dave showed us the final result (a book) of his last project to give us an idea. Dave was very specific about what he wanted to achieve. It was so refreshing to work with somebody who has a clear vision as opposed to aimless shooting. Dave was so friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed every minute of the shoot. I can't wait to see the images and when they are put into a book. I would be more than happy to shoot with Dave again.

It was a genuine pleasure to model for Technikon, he’s a delightful and talented guy with a superb eye for detail. Pre comms excellent evening had a pre meet to go through images he wanted to create.

During the shoot he was polite engaging and knew what he wanted. Working together I hope we got his vision in the bag.

This was also a duo endeavour with anezka

And as always she gives 100%

Definitely highly recommend this guy if you get a chance to work with him.

Certainly hope to again myself

Dave is a great photographer, which some very creative ideas in mind, He also is very good at communicating these ideas, as he did when booking the studio. This allowed us to help get the studio prepped for his booking.

Dave's pre-shoot communication is spot on, as is his attitude during shoots!

Dave is a very nice guy & it was a pleasure to have him at the studio.

I had a fantastic bodyscape shoot with Dave and Darren S in Tamworth- Dave was kind enough to pick me up, make sure I was well fed and supplied with coffee, and was a joy to spend time with.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent so we knew what we were aiming for and he's a very easygoing person which made for a great rapport. I recommend him 100% , love the images in the back of the camera and hope to work together again.

I had a great shoot today with Dave in Tamworth. Shooting some bodyscape art nude shapes. Teaming up with Roswell Ivory once again, we created some awesome shapes for Dave.

Daves ideas were well planned and organised, he's also a very relaxed person and a pleasure to work with.

I look forward to working with him again.

Highly recommended.

Had a great shoot with Dave at his home studio yesterday. He was great and picked me up from the station before offering me food before we started. He paid for three hours but we were done sooner, so he offered to do some portraits for me as I was keen to get some: awesome! A great guy and very accommodating, I would definitely recommend working with him.

I have worked with Dave twice now and both times I've really enjoyed the shoot. This time, a full day shoot at Sandon Studio in May. Dave was as fantastic to work with as ever, and the shoot was very fun and productive. Dave sent a really helpful, yet concise brief prior to the shoot, and his communicative, friendly personality helped to create a great rapport which enabled us to realise his vision.

Dave made sure I was comfortable throughout, asking for my suggestions as well as working hard with me to make something unique and beautiful. We created some hauntingly beautiful and interesting images, which I'm extremely pleased with.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave highly to other models and creatives, and really hope to work with him again soon.

Best wishes,

Lizzie

I had a great shoot with Dave back in march. Dave came on John Tuckey's Hollywood lightning workshop. Dave was a pure pleasure to work with, easy going and professional throughout.

I felt relaxed in Dave's company and Dave took some lovely images from the day.

I hope we can work together again soon, thanks for a great shoot.

Best

We had another shoot recently and it was just as good as the first one.

I just wanted to add on to what has been said before. Dave is very enthusiastic and passion about his work. He is eager to learn and develop to achieve the perfect shot. He is very kind hearted and easy to get on with. I feel at ease and comfortable when working with him, it's safe to say that he is one of the good guys!

I would like to work with him again.

Highly recommended

A lovely person to work with, very easy to get on with and very enthusiastic!

From the moment I arrived I was made to feel comfortable. We discussed the ideas and planned out what sets we were going to do. Dave was keen to try out some art-nudes and some vintage pin-up styles. We had fun working through the different concepts.

I must add that Dave also makes a great cuppa!

I will look forward to working with Dave again.

Thanks Dave!

Had a lovely shoot with Dave yesterday, he was such a lovely person to work with! Dave was helpful with his pre-shoot communications so I was well prepared for the shoot and arrived on time, well equipped :). Dave was friendly and positive from the start, explaining what he was hoping to get from the shoot, and asking for my input and suggestions. We tried a range of styles and lighting techniques and created some awesome images throughout the shoot. Dave made me feel relaxed and comfortable during the shoot, and was very chatty and friendly :). The time flew by!

Highly recommended, and hope to work with Dave again soon!
