Davis Photography

Having decided (at the last minute) to fly home (from New York) for my PhD graduation, I got in contact with Paul via email to inquire about graduation photography. As I wanted access to a variety of options (shots, formats and prices) which the on-​site graduation photographer couldn’t provide, I booked a (very flexible) appointment with Paul, so that I could avoid the inevitable chaos and queues on the day. I could of had the images taken in NYC, but Davis Photography has a reputation for providing a stress-​free and warm service (impossible to replicate in the Big Apple).
I honestly can not say enough about how welcome myself and my two friends were made to feel as soon as we stepped inside the studio. Paul’s mum, Lilian (a photographic maestro), would take the images. Lilian was something of a miracle worker that day, from fixing my hair into place to guiding my limbs into the most flattering poses. She took serious shots (the standard academic portrait), unique shots (my specialism was in Horror Film Studies, so my friend donned the mask of ghost-​face from ‘Scream’) and lively images (snapping my friends and I mid-​hilarity). It was honestly the highlight of my graduation. Lilian was passionate, spirited and completely non-​judgmental (fictional killer in the background and all). We were given all the time we needed and it didn’t take many takes for Lilian to capture the stunning images.
Paul’s fee was extremely (!) reasonable and he had a digital gallery of images uploaded for me to pick and choose from before I had even stepped off the plane in NYC again. He even provided a very generous discount code for my family, friends and I to order everything from physical images to digital prints and personalized products. I can not recommend Davis Photography enough. If you want a straightforward, stress-​free and seriously excellent service, choose no other. I can only imagine the calming presence that Lilian and/​or Paul would bring to a chaotic occasion like a wedding, they will lead you through unscathed.
