David is welcoming and makes you feel extremely at ease throughout the shoot. I would highly recommend him, to anyone who is looking to get new headshots. Reasonably priced and amazing service. This was my first time getting headshots as an Actor, couldn’t be happier of how it all went!
Emma-Lily Ruffoni

I really recommend David! I've never done professional headshots in my life and I was a bit scared of what to expect, but at the contrary he made me feel so welcome from the first time and I was really suprised from the kindness of David. He told me everything of what to do in the session and it turns out very easy the shooting with him. David helped me a lot with the selection of the headshots and I can tell that I'm really happy with the result. Before the shooting we had a cup of coffee, we discussed about of what I want to achieve and what is my dream, and this really helped me to relax before the session. As I said before, I really recommend David and I want to thank him a lot for the humanity of this great professional.
Federico Farsura

Incredible photographer, especially for me who isn’t easily comfortable in front of a camera being my raw self. So chatty, and loved his style and process. Highly recommend.
Katie Oughtibridge

David was really welcoming and understanding, you'll have an amazing experience from if you've never had headshots taken before to if this is your 20th session. He got some great shots and got back to me with the choices and edited my selection quickly, and for such a low price!

Great experience, my first time getting head shots done and David made the whole experience very relaxing and personal. Would highly recommend to anyone needing head shots, and would definitely use again in the future.
Jack Coker

David was great! I'm a complete wreck with headshots, and he put me at ease straight away! Really friendly, genuinely lovely guy - the time flew by because he's very good at chatting and making you feel comfortable. I'm very happy with the result and I've got loads of compliments on them already! Also, the editing is just fab - I had a sudden allergy rash on my face as I woke up that morning and it's completely gone in the final selection!

David Yiu photography was so much more than I had expected. When I first arrived he made me feel so welcomed and at home. We talked while we had a nice cuppa about what sort of styles I wanted in my headshot photos. After he understood, this he got to work. I was impressed at his skills and resources of creating the look I wanted. I also liked his direction in guiding me towards a variety of different facial expressions. He gave me time to change clothes and re-style my hair. I felt so comfortable with David because of his warm and friendly character. As well this I can see that he has a deep passion for photography and sense of pride in his work. I was extremely pleased with the finish product which he was able to send me the next day. I love my photos. I think he has done a fantastic job in creating the look I wanted, in fact he has exceeded my expectations. I am going to recommend him to other actors and friends and I will definitely be booking him again in the future.

Steve Williams

I had been looking to have acting headshots taken for quite a while before deciding to put my trust in David. Let me tell you all- it was not a mistake! Prior to my session I had never had headshots taken, nor anything similar so I was unaware of the process, however David explained exactly how the session would pan out. Not only did he give me an in detail plan of the session but throughout he informed me of tips and tricks regarding any photography, which is very insightful for any aspiring actor or model. The atmosphere of the shoot was exceedingly comfortable yet professional, making the entirety of the experience very fun. Regarding the actual photos they all looked extraordinary. David gives you a variety of photos that range in background, attire and emotion; giving the user a multitude to choose from and work with. They are easy to access using any device, again making it easy when uploading to agency websites etc. When I received the final retouched images from my session I was amazed. I looked like the best me and feel that they fully showcase the professional standard of both David and myself.
I WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!!!

David is an amazing Headshot Photographer and I’m so happy I decided to book in for a session with him – he was extremely personable throughout the shoot and gave me solid direction in order to get the best shots possible. His communication before and after the shoot was second to none, and the pictures didn’t take long to arrive at all. We shot both indoors and outdoors and I’m really impressed with the end product. I love the photos and I now feel like I have a good variety of different looks and moods. Highly recommended!

Ives Drulyte

I absolutely loved my session with David Yiu! He made me feel more than relaxed and lived up to everything he says on his website. I was extremely impressed with how much character expressions he was able to get out of me and successfully capture! He used some very clever methods. He understood my passion for film and the roles I want to go for and really helped me achieve the right look for these roles. He explains very clearly all about headshots and how his shoot will run, I was very well informed. I was also very pleased with the service provided, everything is clear, fast communication and a real understanding of the industry and what an actor needs for a successful headshot. The way the photos are sent are also very professional and you get plenty of time to choose from a wide range of photos. I love the fact that your agent also has access to your gallery in order help you decide in a very quick and easy way. I highly recommend David Yiu! I certainly will be going again, very good value for money, extremely friendly and fun to work with! 10/10 100% Thank You David Yiu!

David was amazing during the whole shoot, really relaxed especially if you haven't done it before. David gives you the option of different backgrounds (indoor, outdoor) and coaches you through different looks and expressions. The images I got back were amazing (he gives you a huge amount of images to choose from for retouching). I would highly recommend David!

Also, the price was fantastic and would definitely use him again!

Sean Huddlestan

David gave a professional and welcoming environment. I felt very comfortable working with him and his positive and encouraging attitude meant we got through all the outfits without any time wasted. I was extremely pleased with the finished products and at a reasonable price too. I have already recommended David to other students in my profession and would insist on anyone looking for good quality photos for a minimum price to check out David's work.
Jim Crawley

I am so pleased that I chose to have my new headshots done with David; he was professional, thorough and made the entire process a total breeze. I could not be happier with the results.

Dave provided a masterful service. Getting headshots taken is an intimate, and sometimes uncomfortable experience. David, however, made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to loosen up. He took a vast array of photos, all of which were excellent. The retouching service was rapid but flawless, producing some extremely high-quality headshots. Thanks again, Dave!
Nick Brown

David provided a highly professional service at an incredibly reasonable price. I felt instantly at ease, was given a plethora of different images (thanks to his effortless and valuable direction) from which to choose, and was given the finished products only a few days after the shoot. I highly recommend this photographer.

Matt Colyer

I can not say enough good things about my shoot and headshots with David! We shot inside and outside his studio, he is calm and easy to get along with which made the whole experience relaxed and fun! He let me change hair and makeup as we went along and he gave great direction to ensure he got many different looks from me. Photoshopping took a few days and I had my photos in web and print format quickly to upload to spotlight. Photo quality is great! I will definitely be back for another shoot! Thanks Dave!
Haley Bishop

David is a fantastic photographer and lovely to work with. I felt really at ease in his studio and he knows how to instruct you to get the right shots.

Working with David is easy, entertaining, and feels completely natural. He's got a real talent for putting you at ease.

Have always dreaded getting headshots taken. I'm (obviously) not a model, and unlike any other photographer I've used David was extremely adept at putting me at ease and directing my actions and thoughts to achieve some great results.
Sean Meyer

David helped me feel very welcome and comfortable in his studio and in front of the camera. I was given loads of helpful advice on clothing choices and demonstrating different characters.
