I've lost count of the number of times we've shot now, but am happy to leave another reference. I always enjoy our shoots and am amazed by the photos that result. Wonderful eye for an image and you make me feel totally at ease. Thank you! :)

I had 2 shoots with David this month, both being at F8 studio in Gloucester, it was lovely to catch up and work with him again. As always David was a true gentleman, very easy to talk to and work with. David always brings a massive selection of clothes and props to a shoot (more than me infact 😂) which is always good to shoot in something that isn't yours and that you haven't been shot in before.

David takes a fantastic portrait and is a pleasure to work with.

I hope to work with him again very soon

Thanks again David

😊

I had such a lovely shoot with David today after much hibernation during the pandemic and it was so lovely to model again! David is a very talented photographer, always bringing the very best out of his models through the use of his wardrobe, costume and accessories! He has a fantastic eye for styling, dressing the model and setting the scene.

Every shoot has always been so creative and enjoyable- and time passes far too quickly! David is a long term friend and someone I love shooting with! He is also super respectful, professional to work with and a joy to be around. Thankyou for a wonderful morning and I really hope to see you soon (or at our wedding! :) ) Highly recommended to all creatives, Helen x

It was so lovely to catch up with David again! He is such a gentleman, so kind, professional and creative to work with, always arriving with bundles of props and creative ideas. Over the years David has become a good friend and I appreciate his company and advice. Some of my favourite images in my career have been with David and that I feel is a real credit to his talent. A complete gentleman and someone I can wholeheartedly recommend to models and creatives of all experiences. Thankyou for a lovely afternoon and really hope to catch up again after lockdown :) Highly recommended as always, Helen x

I had a fabulous shoot with David at f/8 Studio on Saturday.

We mainly shot portraiture against a lovely green back drop and grey back drop with plenty of props and a bit of nude thrown into the mix.

David has a great eye, is extremely respectful and we've created some fantastic images.

I look forward to working with you again David.

Highly recommended :)

I always love modelling for David. It's lovely to catch up having shot so many times together. He is easily one of my favourite people to work with, and it's lovely to receive so many amazing portraits after the shoot. He produces so many photos each with a really romantic, emotive vibe, which I really appreciate. It's great to work together on this shared style we love so much. I look forward to the next shoot.

I had such a lovely catch up with David recently at my home! David is such a lovely friend and I always look forward to working together. I absolutely loved the new selection of props David bought along to the shoot- my favourite being a vibrant blue/purple gown which looked stunning on camera! We shot predominantly in the natural light in my home as it was such a lovely day for the most part! David is such a fantastic stylist also, always with a great eye for textures and colours which compliment the models colouring and skin.

I adore shooting in natural light and David always has such a magical gift of capturing the best portraits! I love how David just spontaneously creates a scene and set with the vintage garments, musical instruments and props and bring the shot to life, whilst always talking to the model and taking photos during conversation. These make for the most relaxed and natural portraits and I think this shows in Davids wonderful portfolio.

I absolutely loved the session and really look forward to the images! Thankyou so much David and I look forward to our future trip to Lacock. Highly recommended to all! Helen x

Had a really enjoyable shoot with David today it was really refreshing to try some portraits which is an area i haven't done a lot in. And going on the quality of his portfolio i don't think i will be disappointed.David had a really good eye for my best angles.And we worked at f/8 studio and he was really good at using the natural available light as due to electrical problems that swiftly got sorted and he was very adaptable to the unexpected set back.Really enjoyed trying the props he had brought and was surprised the hats actually looked quiet good as i always thought hats didn't suit me.David is very patient and easy going and very much a gentlemen i would highly recommend him.

David is an absolute gentleman and a lovely friend. I have lost count of how many times we have worked together now over the years and its always a real pleasure. Time disappears with David- it ceases to exist! David is such a passionate, creative soul who always arrives to the shoot with bags of enthusiasm, beautiful props, backdrops and accessories.

This time around we worked together in my brand new home studio extension and it was lovely to introduce David to the space! The photos we achieved together were beautiful and I really look forward to seeing more of the uploads!

David is a sweetheart and one of life's gents, with the soul purpose to create beautiful portraits. If you get the chance to work together as a model definitely take it!

Highly recommended and I look forward to what 2020 brings :)

Thankyou for a lovely day! Helen x

I had my first shoot with David yesterday at f/8 Studio and I had a really great time. David is really easy to get on and very friendly. He has a great sense of humour too. I was amazed by all of his lovely outfits, accessories and props; they inspired me to grow my own collection some more.

I really like David's style of photography. He has a distinctive style and he knows exactly the kind of photo he is looking to achieve. I really liked his chilled yet enthusiastic approach to shooting. I really like the images from the shoot so far. They're beautiful.

David was a pleasure to work with and I can highly recommend him to other models.

I would be more than happy to shoot with David again. Thanks for a great shoot! :)

Yet another wonderful shoot with David! He has a real knack of taking beautiful photographs, and seemingly never tires of my face, which is rather lovely! :) I've lost count of how many shoots we've done overall, but this was the third time at one of my favourite Oxfordshire locations, where we enjoyed a very peaceful morning by the 15th century ruins and river there. I always appreciate the photographs he sends me after a shoot - it's so lovely to have this experience. Highly recommended and our frequent shoots are now a real staple of my modelling year. :)

I worked with David again recently at Lacock Abbey and Gardens and omg... the photographs were out of this world! It was so lovely to work on location again and to return to the Abbey since our last shoot together there which was 6 years ago! The backdrops are stunning and the gardens in full bloom.

I adored shooting in the rose gardens and I absolutely cannot wait for the results, they looked absolutely stunning on the back of the camera! We had such a lovely creative day, with fantastic weather basking in the sunlight and shadows outside and retreating in the abbey for the rest of the time, which was lovely and cool.

It was a particularly entertaining shoot, as we were scolded by one of the gardeners who asked why we were shooting... "for our portfolios I say! For fun! Not for commercial use at all" :) We then made a run for it to the Rose garden!

David is so lovely to work with, so personable, professional, kind, respectful and creative- all of the elements you could wish for in a photographer. He was also very kind to collect me from my home.

Thank You so much David, this was one of my favourite shoots!! Highly recommended to all, Helen x

I had my first shoot with David today at PoZers studio. He arrived on time and brought with him plenty of props and ideas for our session!

During the shoot he was polite and respectful, and he has a very creative eye and we were able to create some unique portraits and stunning images in a preraphaelite style, and he was extremely complimentary about my profile, which certainly boosted my confidence! We also had some very interesting conversations about art and paintings.

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot with David again and I hope I get the opportunity to next time I'm in the area, and I would recommend him 100% to other models :)

I've got with the lovely David so many times now and every time has been amazing, this time was no different and we managed to top our last shoots with the images - if that is even possible!

He has a beautiful way with his cameras, using the scenes in the most classic way, with all the wonderful props he brings along - he specialises in Pre-Raphaelite and classic art photography, it's one of my favourite genres to pose so I look forward to shooting with David on every instance we've shot because of that!

It's sad that this was our last time of shooting and I very much hope that I will work with this amazing individual again, somewhere down the line :)

What a gent and a star, I can't recommend this fellow enough to all - a favourite photographer of mine, also an incredible person too :)

I had a wonderful shoot with David at pozers last week .

He is very friendly , patient and easy to work with . David brought along a load of very pretty dresses , and unique props and accessories . We shot through a selection of themes , some of which were following the inspiration of art work and it was great to do something a little different than just standards studio work . I really enjoyed working with David and admired his creativity and in put into the shoot . He is a joy to work with an ensures the model is comfortable and is given plenty of breaks .

Thank you , Jessica x

A highly accomplished photographer! I really enjoyed working with and meeting David.

He was easy to work with the whole day and fun to be around. His images are flawless and he’s a genuinely lovely guy. What’s not to like?!

Conversation flowed and time flew by. Even more so as it was a group shoot. I highly recommend David to all models of all levels and new starting out too.

Thankyou so much for a fabulous shoot!

Best wishes
