So if you want to look as fine as this fella, get their early, from 2pm to avoid disappointment.
His often witty and touching style has taken his photographs to places as far flung as Singapore and Derby and his talent has led to numerous awards including the Grand prize at Nottingham Castle Open and finalist for the prestigious Ideas Tap / Magnum Photos Awards.
David is a social documentary photographer and in just a few years of his professional career is shooting for top nationals such as the Financial Times and FT magazine. He is also a well known face on the Nottingham arts scene having worked with many of the artists and venues in the city.
We're tipping David for big things, because he's got talent and knows how to use a camera thats not on an I Phone. So if you want your photograph taking by by one of the best young photographers in the UK, get down to Truth and Lies stage early.
Everyone will be be photographed on a first come first served basis.
