Now where to start.. David is such a lovely gentleman!

Had my first shoot with him and hopefully not the last. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and we got on from the moment we met. David is clear with his directions and a professional with a passion for what he does.

He brought lots of goodies with him to shoot and it was lots of creative fun for both of us.

I highly recommend him to all models!

It was lovely to work with David again yesterday, this time at Upper Mills Studio in Gloucestershire. He is very enthusiastic about portraits, which I really like as so many people see them as an afterthought. He is easy going and friendly, with a calm demeanour and I really loved many of the shots we did, as well as loving the many millions he managed to produce from previous shoots. I hope we will work together again before I leave the UK this summer! :-)

I had the pleasure of working with David on the morning of my studio day at the weekend.

David was a true gentleman, he was really friendly and the shoot was nice and relaxed.

We got to try lots of different sets and I was impressed with the lovely props and clothing David brought along.

His comms were great and it was clear what we were aiming for so it went really well - I would happily recommend David and would love to work with him again!

This was the 2nd shoot I have had with David. He came to my home on time with so many props and things for me to dress up in :) Of course he loves to do portraits which we did many of and I had such a fabulous time doing it. I do not get to do much of them so it was a nice change. David is such a lovely guy and really chatty. David brought so many different cameras with him so he could try different things out and he worked brilliantly with natural light and flash too. We got so many lovely shots. I can not wait to work with David again and we hope to do so soon before I move to Plymouth. 100% recommended.

What a fabulous shoot with David. He was polite, respectful,and very well prepared. Using his awesome equipment we were able to get some fabulous portraits!!

David and I finally managed to be in the same place at the same time today after a few months of trying! His pre-comms were great and he brought with him a huge selection of clothing and props, so I had a lovely few hours playing dress-up. David has a great eye and makes excellent use of available light. He was professional, friendly and created a laid-back environment. I look forward to the next time and would happily recommend him.

i had a lovely shoot with David today at my home!

David arrived on time, and although it was relatively short notice, David had some clear ideas of what he wanted to achieve. David also bought a lot of props with him, lots of beautiful items of clothing and flowers etc. David's visions are always clear and beautiful and his images are so ethereal and pure.

I always look forward to working with David and will do in the new year!

David was really kind to book me the other day at Upper Mills Studio - It was such a change for us both as we usually use my home but it was being renovated! :) David is such a fun character to work with and always has a great selection of props and vintage clothing to use for the shoot. I always fall in love with bits and pieces and want to take it home!

David has a great eye for fashion, props and photography and its always a pleasure working together- time flys with this man! We also had a great time shooting in the natural light room of the studio, some of which were my favourite shots taken on Davids beautiful cameras and lenses! David was also super kind to give me a book of the photos we had taken together over the past year or two which was such a lovely, thoughtful gift! Thankyou for such a lovely shoot and really hope to work with you soon! Helen x

I think this might be the 3rd or 4th shoot I have had with David now and every time I enjoy it more and more. This was the first shoot I had since having my second child and it was so nice to shoot with David, someone I get on great with. It was also the first time I have shot at my own home - finally!

I really enjoyed our shoot, David came on time and all prepared. He had lot's of clothing and items to shoot with. Every time we have shot he always has new items!

I love the photos, what more do you want than beautiful soft portraits. Perfect way to start a Monday!

Thank you for shooting with me and hope to have many more shoots in the future.

I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to work with David Bailey as I have seen the name floating around this site for ages! Really good to put a face to the name. We had a brilliantly productive shoot at Carla's home studio recently. He booked the first half of my day and we covered a range of looks mostly to a classical/traditional theme, including some nude art. He had an interest in conceptual imagery, storyline shots including many wonderful items such as perfume bottles, violin, Apple, bible ... David brought everything from dresses to jewellery and there were some particularly nice items to work with! Really enjoyed the shoot, the time flew by and he was fab company, highly recommended!

The Old Chapel Studio - CLOSED

We welcomed David into the studio, he had a shoot booked with Arabella. He is a lovely bloke, easy to talk to and easy going. We look forward to seeing David in the studio again soon :)

Arabella

Had a lovely shoot with David on the first day of my Gloucester/Cardiff tour.... We had good coms before the shoot! Just what you want! David came and picked me up from the train station and brought me to the studio.... He was friendly and chatty.... Very relaxed also which is nice! .... We had a lovely shoot which we ended up extending! We shot some lovely portraiture with a lovely classic edge to it!! :) we had a good giggle and lots of tea, perfect shoot!

David is a lovely person and great photographer :) I would certainly recommend shooting with him!

I hope to do it again also!

Thank you again David, I love the images!

I worked with the lovely David again (I have lost count of how many times now!! :P ) at my home the other day and had such a great shoot, as always!

David was super kind and patient to work with, with tons of props to hand, which are always inspiring and clothes you just want to keep! David has a great eye for clothing, props and accessories, so much so that he really should run his own vintage shop! :) The props really make the shot and go with Davids beautiful portraits beautifully, its always a joy to work with him, and I always leave the shoot refreshed and smiling. Highly recommended as always, Helen x

It was lovely to have the pleasure of working with David Bailey again.

This time we worked through a few different ipre-raphealite inspired sets and we were able to do many changes. I must say that the pictures that I have seen David upload already are awesome.

He is a lovely guy, I would most definitely work with him again. 100% recommended!

I had a wonderful shoot with David, we got a lot done in the time we had together, from portraiture to art nude. David is very creative and well organised and arrived with heaps of lovely accessories for me to work with.

David is a very kind and courteous gentleman and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Highly recommended!!

I worked with the lovely David today at my home on a very last minute shoot - but these are often the best! :) David as always was on time, with plenty of interesting, unique and creative props and infectious enthusiasm to shoot!

I love that David brings his own pop up backdrops and equipment- it makes it so easy for mobile shoots and to shoot in a models home really effectively and with fantastic results! David creates beautiful photos effortlessly and really captures the best in a model as he is super easy to work with. I also adore his props- he has massively got me interested in charity shops now! He always finds the most beautiful clothing to bring to the shoot. Highly recommended and hope to work together again soon, Helen x

Had another super shoot with David, I love working with this guy as he takes lovely natural portraits and is super easy to work with :)

The pictures are looking lovely cant wait to see more, would definitely shoot again!

Had my second shoot with Dave at my new home, and again it was a pleasure. Dave is a really lovely guy who was full of ideas and is great fun to work with. He encourages your input as well as giving direction well.

Dave is a relaxed and genuine guy who really loves photography.

The shoot flew by and it looked as though we got some great shots! Look forward to working with Dave again soon! Highly recommended.

I'm so pleased I had the chance today to shoot with The photographer David Bailey!

Such an honour....

We did some fantastic preraphealite images, which meant I could wear a array of different accessories and pose with props which included a violin . I felt that he choose colours which complimented my natural tones very well and was very good at making style suggestions, he definitely knows the preraphealite genre very well. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him, he is very initiative, considerate and great to chat to, I felt at ease working with him

I would love to work with him again sometime!

Highly recommended!

I shot with David at my home for our 3rd shoot today! :D

It was great to catch up with one another and discuss our creative ideas for the shoot ahead. David reduced the amount of props he brought, with reluctance but only so he could bring the best of the best! Our shoot was diverse, interesting, beautiful and fun.

As always, it's been a real pleasure working with David and I do look forward to seeing the results and working together again in the future.

Highly recommended!
