I have so much to say, and thankfully my brain successfully works after this tour thanks to Dave taking such a load off me with amazing hosting. Dave very kindly let me stay for a 3 night/3-4 day tour at his home in Gloucester, staying with my friend Aurora Phoenix who has stayed here regularly.
Before our stay he very kindly checked for allergies and preferred meals, so he could purchase lunches and dinners for us which was lovely. On the same he picked us up from the station and drove us to his home, kindly helping with suitcases and our many bags. He showed us around his beautiful home and the space he has, including the themed and styled bedrooms which are very cosy. I must say he should get into decorating!
Aurora and I worked duo, and I did some solos, working with Dave through several sets focussing around a feminine lingerie look with some sheer in his garden, a few sets in the kitchen and on the bed and utilitising some harnesses and ribbon for edge. We did a comedic balloon video and then some videography flowing in the bedroom.
During the tour, Dave was kind and respectful to all photographers offering tea and coffee & having a chat with them we had outfit changes. Many photographers were regulars which truly showed how kind and accommodating he is as a persuade and what a great space he offers. After shoots, he made sure we were okay, rested and cooked us dinner. It was great getting to know him in the evenings and learning about each other. Across the few days I was so comfortable around Dave and leaving was so sad!
I can't thank Dave enough for hosting me, and Aurora, and for being amazing throughout the few days. It felt like such a safe space and a home during my time there an I would've happily stayed longer. Nonetheless, he kindly stocked me up with snacks and drinks for my journey and I've briefly discussed returning next year for another tour if I don't manage to get over beforehand.
Thank you once again, I highly recommend this amazing photographer!!!
