“David was great – given that we don’t have any specific photography guidelines currently for these type of shots, it was quite a challenging brief to interpret my ‘capturing the brand character and personality’ spiel, the visual identity principles and align with the community team’s requirements. Having seen some of the shots today I can say that they are engaging, capture the spirit of the campaign, and bring in the visual identity accents I asked for.

“Hi Nicky,
David’s just gone. We had a whale of a time – I can see why he’s your favourite photographer. I’m quite self-conscious in front of a camera, but he made me feel very relaxed. We did lots of different set-ups, so I hope there’s something you like in there.
Thanks for making this such a nice experience.”

“Dear David,
I just wanted to send you a personal thank-you. It was great working with you at the events. It felt as though you were part of the team, in that you were sensitive to what was needed. Your presence was not at all intrusive and people were obviously relaxed with having you around. I’m sure that most of us were unaware that photos were being taken of us and as a result you’ve caught some really great natural images. I am sure we will be able to make use of many of the images. I am delighted that you will be able to do more work for us with schools and hope that there will be other opportunities for collaboration.”
Kind Regards,
