I worked with the lovely David again recently on a maternity shoot at my home and had such a lovely time! We were very fortunate with the light on the day and had gorgeous natural light streaming throughout the house and garden which was perfect for natural light photography!

I am nearly 38 weeks pregnant and David was my last maternity shoot! I've known David over 12 years and its always a joy to work together.

David is kind, professional, respectful and a gentle soul. I always love his approach to photography which is very laid back, creative, with beautiful pop up backdrops, clothing and accessories to match. He is passionate about natural light photography, pre loved and vintage clothing and antiques like myself, so we always have lots to talk about!

I really hope we get the chance to work together again in the future and can give David the highest of recommendations to all creatives here.

Thankyou David for being a treasured friend over the years, Helen x

I had a brilliant shoot with David at f8 Studios in Gloucester. He was his usual cheery self, easy going, enthusiastic, chatty and kind. The images we shot were really creative and beautiful with such a painterly mood. I've worked with David multiple times in past years, it was fantastic to catch up with him and create some really striking imagery. Thank you :-)

I had a wonderful first shoot today with David at f/8 studios.

He was polite, friendly and we got through a lot of different sets. He allowed me to pose freely but also offered suggestions and ideas which made it very collaborative.

We worked at a leisurely pace and managed to create a lot of fabulous images. Thank you so much again for today and I can't wait to see the images!

Highly recommended :)

I've worked with David so many times now at f/8 Studio that I've lost count. Although I was going through a tough time on this occasion, David was very accommodating and made sure our shoot was relaxed and friendly. I always feel very comfortable and at ease working with David. He has an ever-changing collection of interesting garments for moody and romantic portraits, and provides props and ideas. He is a very respectful photographer whom I highly recommend.

I worked with David again recently at my home and had such a wonderful shoot! I consider David a much loved friend so its always a joy to catch up and work together (I can't believe it had been 6 months since our last shoot!)

David is such a wonderful and passionate creative- he puts so much effort into sourcing props, garments and beautiful textiles and accessories to incorporate into the photoshoot.

He really enjoys creating an immersive photographic set for the model and its always a joy to see what new props he has bought along with him on each shoot!

As a photographer he is a gentleman, professional and respectful to work with and so kind with sharing photographs. He shoots on high quality cameras and his editing is beautiful.

Highly recommended as always. Thankyou David and until the next time! Helen x

Another wonderful and productive shoot with DB. We had 4 hours to play with at f/8 studio. David brought his wonderful enthusiasm for lovely portraits and a whole wardrobe full of gorgeous outfits for me to wear and props to get creative with.

I absolutely love the images we created together and would happily work with David anytime and recommend him as both a photographer and stylist! :D

Thanks again for another fab shoot!

Had an amazing shoot with David at F/8 studio yesterday. David is super easy to work with, he brought a huge selection of props and clothes and I had great fun trying them on.

We worked through a number of different setups and David was completely professional and respectful throughout the shoot. He's lovely to talk to as well so the time just flew by.

I really hope that I get to work with David again in the future and have no hesitation recommending him to any model.

I worked with my lovely friend David again; this time returning to the gorgeous Lacock Abbey and grounds. It was a beautiful day with just the right amount of sunshine and cloud offering natures softbox to natural light photography!

We were very lucky with only a few tourists in the morning and the gardens were wonderful and relaxing to model in during the afternoon.

As a person David is extremely kind, professional, respectful and one of lifes gents. He is also very patient and such a kind spirit.

Highly recommended to all and I really look forward to the photos. Thankyou for a lovely day, Helen x

I had a fantastic and long awaited shoot with David at F/8 studios in Gloucester yesterday.

David has a lot of creative ideas and provided many props and wardrobe items to experiment with. David has great understanding of natural light. David was kind, professional and respectful throughout all communication, before during and after the shoot. I very much hope to shoot with him again.

Had an amazing shoot with davidbailey at f/8studio during my model day there.

He was the first of the day and started the day off with a bang! He brought lots of props and clothing and backdrops that were all so beautiful and we wasted no time in getting through them.

We did a mix of natural light and studio lighting and we achieved some great shots that I really enjoyed creating with him, he’s polite, friendly and lovely to work with and would love to work with him again in the future.

I'm always very happy to hear from DavidBailey for a shoot - we have such a lovely time and it always feels very easy, while producing some really brilliant portraits which I'm always ecstatic to see and be able to show off. I've lost count of the number of times we've worked together. He loves natural light, romantic/artistic styles and always seems to make me look good, so what's not to like? :)

Another wonderful shoot with Mr Bailey during my recent visit to f8 in Gloucester. David is a delight to work with - kind, unhurried, creative and respectful. I love working with him and I think the images we produce reflect that. I have no reservations in recommending him wholeheartedly and look forward to the next time our paths cross.

What a charming man to work with!

It was our first time working together when he attended my studio day at F8 Studios and our creative minds merged into one, working on a variety of emotive portraits, fashion looks and dynamic looks.

A true professional and a lovely person to natter with.

100% would recommend

It was so wonderful to work with David again after such a long time.

He attended a group event at F/8 studio and was a pleasure to pose for. I love his enthusiasm for portraits and he took some really lovely images during the day.

I would recommend David to any model.. he is an absolute gentleman and I sure hope to shoot with him again.

Thank you!

David is a pleasure to work with- very easy going and polite, and fully prepared with all the props, clothing and back drops you can imagine!

I turned up unable to do the full four hours agreed due to a circus related injury and he was incredibly understanding and we still got so many beautiful portraits in 3 hours that didn't look like any editing was needed at all.

David is a true natural at working with natural lighting and making a photo look like a painting.

I worked with David again at my home and had such a wonderful shoot! It was a super last minute shoot (organised with just 24 hours to spare! :P ) Spontaneity is a joy! :)

It was really lovely to work with David after a few months, he is a lovely friend of mine who I have known in the industry over many years.

David always arrives with a big smile, a super positive upbeat attitude, heaps of clothes and accessories and is an absolute joy to work with.

He really connects with the model and always captures beautiful portraits of the subject. I also loved shooting with Davids pop up backdrops which are so useful and in the most wonderful pastel colours. We were very lucky with the weather and shot outside for the entire shoot, making the most of the natural light which is my favourite way to shoot; you can't beat natures softbox! :)

I absolutely LOVE working with David and look forward to the next, perhaps on location in the Spring! :) Thank you so much David for a lovely shoot. As always the highest recommendation to other models and creative; David is one of lifes gentleman. Helen x
