→Working with David has been a game-changer for our brand. He expertly handles everything from sourcing stylists, models, and locations to organising the shot list, ensuring each campaign runs smoothly. After working together for a couple of years, he knows our brand inside and out, allowing him to effortlessly deliver what we need, while always bringing fresh ideas to the table.
As director of Cala Creatives, a London-based photo and video agency, I need people I enjoy working with and trust, and with David, I never have to worry. His images are consistently beautiful, balanced, well-composed, and tailored to the brief. He’s shot lifestyle, product, and architectural photography for us, always adapting to different brands with ease.
David from start to finish was a pleasure to work with and brought his own creative perspective to everything produced. From pre-production help and organising kit to building on our own creative briefs. The end result and images produced went beyond expectations and are now a proud part of our content collection.
David’s photography and moving images exceeded our brief. He was a pleasure to work with, going above and beyond to ensure the shoot was a great success — from the initial mood board to the location, choice of models and styling, his images tapped into our desire to reach a new audience whilst ensuring authenticity.
