"I have employed David for conferences, presentations, social engagements, marketing materials, open days, portrait shots, official document signings amongst many others. David has always been amenable to our sometimes short notice requests and has delivered our photos in a quick time frame as agreed and sometimes much quicker depending on our needs. He has always been very helpful. He follows and delivers on brief and is able to give additional value to jobs with minimal fuss without direction. I am more than happy to recommend David and he will no doubt deliver the same quality he provides us."
