Had a great shoot with CharlesPhoto this weekend on my studio day at Sandon studio. We shot some stunning natural light art nude pictures and also a different nude theme. Charles was professional and knew exactly what he wanted. Looking forward to seeing the images and working together again in the future. Highly recommended!

Shot with CharlesPhoto for the first time today. The day started at 5am and we got a beautiful sunrise over an amazing landscape, with added horses! Fantastic direction and so much fun to shoot with I would highly recommend models of all levels to work with David. I felt at ease throughout our time together and got found David so easy to get along with.

Its wonderful to work with such a passionate photographer who is looking for the perfect shot but who also respects a models levels and flexibility. Communication before the shoot was spot on meaning we both knew exactly what we wanted from the shoot and we certainly got it.

I look forward to seeing the final images and working with David again very soon!

Yet another awesome shoot with David - this time a quick slot at Joel Hicks Photographic. David was brilliant as he stepped in as I had recently had news of a last minute cancellation: the plans were quite impromptu and on the day we literally threw a bundle of ideas together but it was lovely because we got an awesome mix of looks photographed around the different location sets and the weather stayed good for us! :) David is always super enthusiastic and has gallons of ideas to get you both into the flow of things: he has a fantastic eye for the ever-challenging location work and will always strive to get creative angles of the shots be it up high or down low. It's ever so encouraging working with him because he just blast as much effort as the model into his shoots.

His communications were absolutely brilliant: we didn't have a great deal of time to get it all arranged as I say but it was in the diary, no fuss, no drama and that was it... I saw David on the day of our shoot and it was all go from there. :)

He is always a fun person to work with and puts a lot of work into developing a rapport; we nattered about all sorts (again) and had a productive time shooting whilst doing so! David is very courteous and works with a professional etiquette so I can guarantee that models will feel completely at ease working with him either on a one to one basis or part of a larger group.

Thanks again David, until next time!

I had a great first shoot with David during my Sandon Studio weekend. David was really easy to work with and had the hour planned out, so i knew exactly what David was looking to shoot.

We got through all 4 sets in the hour with no rush and got some really great photos!

I hope to work with David again. Highly Recommended !

David came along on a superb waterfall adventure that consisted of a team of 3 of us with another photographer. I think the all-round combined enthusiasm for this stunning location treck made the day so wonderful and everyone literally got on so well: David was a true delight to work with and his knack for framing/producing a lovely model-in-a-landscape shot is really quite awesome. :) I honestly couldn't have hoped for a better two sets of eyes that day catching me as I jumped across rocks and rapids galore!

The knowledge and readiness that David had for snatching the most beautiful shots really was inspired - he knew his stuff very well and got cracking perspectives, long-exposure shots, creative angles... the job lot! It really gives a model additional drive to brave the wilderness when the outcome looks so lovely on the back of the camera. Throughout the day we took on a number of different spots: mostly were the planned beauty spots but we occasionally threw in some spontaneity as well if the light gave us something pretty; any photographer who shoots landscapes and location work will know that you have to work with whatever ground you have to get your position so David was routinely in as crazy positions as me! His commitment to get the very best out of his photography is superb and I cannot give him enough merit for the efforts he put in to it from his side of the camera.

David is professional by nature, approaching his shoots with the most sublime etiquette and connecting with models so well mannered and good hearted. We had no end of laughs throughout the day chatting non-stop on the soup breaks plus nattering as we ventured from one mighty falls to the next. He is extremely high spirited and positive a character, I really cannot imagine anyone that would not be able to strike a rapport with David. It was our first shoot but I am sure it will not be the last! Thank you for such a fun-filled, creative day David, the images are looking spectacular! I recommend this gentleman without a second thought!

I had my first shoot with David today at my home. It was an early start of 7am but luckily the weather was being kind to us and we went out on location on the farm x

David is so very easy to get along with , very chatty and a complete gentleman at all times. He was fantastic at giving direction and knew very definatley the poses he wanted me to do. The time we had literally went by far too quickly and there was so much more we wanted to do.

David is very professional and obviously knows his stuff and has a very clear idea of the images he wants to create. From what I saw on the back of the camera I think we got some lovely shots.

I highly recommend David to work with and I hope I get the chance to work with again soon on the other ideas he wanted to do.

Thanku for today.

I have had the awesome pleasure of working with this true gent twice now. Once on location and once in a studio environment. Both shoots went seemlessley.

David is very professional and full of great ideas, his pre comms are fantastic with plans already laid out ready for the shoot.

I cant wait for the next opportunity to work with David. A genuinely great photographer with a great eye.

Highly recommended! For sure! If you have the chance to shoot with him do it.

Thanks again David :)

I had a shoot today with David, we were hoping for a sunrise shoot but the sun was being shy! Still ended up with some awesome images in two superb locations!

David is very professional and we also had a lot of laughs. We finished the morning eating some breakfast on a stack of hay taking a selfie which almost had my sides splitting I couldn't stop laughing!

Always a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend.

Hope to work with you again soon

I had a great shoot, he turned up on time and was friendly and chatty from the offset. he gave me good direction and being new to modelling he took his time to explain why he was positioning me in certain ways etc.

I really enjoyed my shoot and we got a diverse range of shots in just one shoot.

would definitely recommend working with and I will be working with him again soon I have no doubt.

Recently had a shoot with David and a few other photographers. He was very friendly and made me feel as ease. Being new David helped me in perfecting poses and was patient whilst waiting for me to do so. David was very professional throughout the shoot. I would definitely reccomend working with him. ☺

Just got back from a very early morning shoot with David, a result of a discussion which started just after Christmas, we wanted to wait for the weather to improve......

We met in Derbyshire to catch the sunrise, and then the temp dropped.... But we carried on and changed location to a Wonderfull spot in the valley

Although it was a lot colder than we had hoped for we both worked hard to get the best shots we could, only stopping when the camera battery was low, and the rain started

So after a few good miles walked, and shots by streams, up hills and in valleys, do I reccomend David......certainly

Really proffesional, a gentleman and did all he could to ensure I was ok, and getting the best shots we could

I really do hope we can shoot again as discussed

Thank you David

David booked onto mine and Mr Darksides third Jack Vettriano event last weekend at my place and we had a great two hours shooting!

David was very prepared with ideas, specific shots he wanted and what style he was after- pretty much exactly what we had on offer at the event! :)

Although David had lots of ideas of his own he took on board our suggestions on the images and we all worked together on trying to make the shots as good as possible which was great. :)

Thanks, David! Hope to see you again soon :)
