David's experience and patience with children are amongst his greatest assets, allowing him to capture outstanding, natural pictures of children and babies.

HISTORY

As an artist and photographer, his father encouraged David throughout his childhood to engage in both subjects.
David's keen interest eventually led to art school, polytechnic and a degree in photography and design.

For the last 20 years he has specialised in children's fashion for commercial, advertising and editorial clients worldwide.

TESTIMONIALS

"David and his crew were extremely professional and, of course, the standard of his work is superb. 

Indeed I have seldom seen more enchanting pictures of children - his technical expertise is matched by an unerring eye for detail which separates the average from the brilliant.

I do hope that our paths cross again and congratulate you on having such a talent on your books."
