What others are saying.

  • Star Alliance group

    Our in-house photographer was knocked out with COVID-19. We contacted David with the task of shooting 23 restaurants in 10 days. Despite the tight time frame, he managed to produce work that matched the brief of each venue, and we were impressed by the quality. It was awesome that he delivered the images in formats for poster printing, websites and various social media uses. An absolute champion that saved the day.

  • Cristian Barnett UK professional food photographer

    In a world flooded with food images, David's work stood out to me and separated itself. His use of negative space, soft contrast, and near-cinematic colour grading creates a timeless image in which the food is the hero.

  • Highwater Restaurant

    These (images) are really lovely, David; you nailed them. I really wanted to capture the heart and soul and 'vibe' of Highwater as it really is much more than just good food and wine - and you've done just that. Between working, we've all had a quick look and are super happy.

    Thank you! You have been an absolute pleasure to work with, and now I need to come up with ways to share these beautiful pics.ion goes here
