Hi! I’m Dave! I’m a California-based photographer whose work has been published internationally in both print and digital media, including Fodor’s Travel, Buzzfeed, Newsweek and the Katmai Conservancy. I began my photography career at age eleven with a Kodak Handle camera I bought with money earned from doing chores around the house, using chipmunks, squirrels and backyard landscapes as my subjects.
I’ve also done extensive live concert photography in the music industry. In my spare time, I volunteer as a first-responder and video production coordinator with the BEAR League in Lake Tahoe.
While the animals and landscapes I now capture are larger and more distant than when I began making photos, my love for photography has only grown over time. I maintain my enthusiasm for story-telling with the same wide-eyed wonderment of that eleven-year-old photographer.
