I'm a English photographer / digital artist working mainly in the Goth, Steampunk and alternative fields.
I've had the pleasure of photographing some of the best alternative models in Britain today under the moniker Declinegothica.
Current kit:
Nikon D700 body
Nikon D200 body
Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 G AF-S ED
Nikkor 50mm f1.4 D

Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX DC HSM
Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM

In the studio and location I use four Nikon SB-900 and SB-600 speedlights with a Nikon SU-800 flash controller, coupled with softboxes, shoot thru brollies, snoots, barn doors and a beauty dish.

Little Twiglet says:
"I had the pleasure of shooting with Dave, Violet Raven, Neo Geisha and Lexi J on the 'Stripped' shoot early February. They were all a brilliant to work with. Dave has a distinct style - he has a fun imagination which really shows in his images! I don't normally dress like I did for the shoot nor have I ever really worked with a photographer who specializes in the goth/steampunk field, so it was a good chance for me to explore something very different and quirky. If you're looking to do something unique and creative then do not hesitate in shooting with Dave. You won't be disappointed in his images and he's ultra lovely as a person!
Big hugs!

Interview with the Vampire Demondaz says:
"I have enjoyed meeting Dave C on a couple of occasions. He is a great photographer with some enviable manipulation skills and a lot of weird and wonderful ideas. Always fun to shoot with and the results well worth the while.
Keep up the good work.
