Professional and thorough!

David photographed an oil painting of mine to be used on my website. He was a pleasure to work with and was both professional and thorough. I couldn't be happier with the results!

Attention to Detail

I met with David for a taped audition session. He took the time to make me look and sound the best! Another plus: he's also an actor and knew how to be a good reader off camera, feeding me my cue lines.

Taping for Actor`s Film Audition

David has done several Taping auditions for me for Films and TV Shows! Besides being a very talented actor and artist, he is an excellent photographer. David gives fantastic direction, guidance and constructive criticism to me in my acting auditions. He is a true Professional Photographer, and I would recommend him to other actors, as well as others needing other photography services!

Great Photo Exhibit for Trial

I needed a photo to capture the street-level view showing the perspective that a witness would have had on the day in question. David immediately grasped the ideal way to portray the view accurately and with great clarity. The photos were very effective and I sensed that the jury members reviewing the photos were seeing exactly what I had intended. David was 100% responsive to my requests, always timely, and very efficient. I can recommend him without hesitation.

Go to the Professional

I directed a play at a local community theatre and hired David to take the head shots, cast photo, cast and crew photo, and some candid shots of rehearsals and our friends and family night show. We typically use volunteers for this work. This time I wanted a professional touch. I was extremely impressed with David's ability to work with people, produce outstanding results and adhere to a time schedule. He has a true gift for finding the right moments to highlight, and was a genuine pleasure to work with on my show. I highly recommend David for anything involving photography when you want superb results!

About

My degree is a Masters of Fine Arts - photography is truly an art form!

I am an experienced DSLR photographer, having learned that technical craft in the film era - both twin and single lens.

But any customer can tell you it's the photographer, not the camera!

A photographer merely needs a good camera the way a singer needs a good microphone - there is no substitute for experience.

I'm great with groups, having shot many dozens of family reunions.

Likewise, my experience with engagement and bridal photos goes back years.

But perhaps my specialty is children and infants -
a subtle skill that can only be developed with hundreds of photo shoots.

My clients have included Richmond Newspapers, Inc., Wounded Warriors Project, Harlem Globetrotters, Golf Business Magazine. My nature photography appeared in the "Shoot the James Photo Catalog" in 2009 as a Benefit for the James River Outdoor Coalition.

For Virginia Commonwealth University, I taught Night Photography, Photographing the City, Portrait Photography, and Action Photography in the Honors College. For John Tyler Community College, I taught Basic Photography.

My own training was at the corporate and community college level, as well as education gained on-the-job in photo retail sales, lab and portrait studio.

My architectural, nature and fine art photos have been shown in invitational and juried exhibits.

Additional booking notes

It is best for me to arrive early to assess lighting and spacing options for photography.

Influences and inspiration

I was a traveling photographer in the film era - my influences are 'old school', but I stay current with popular trends.
"Headshots" of actors and models are a style that is influencing everyday photography, and I welcome this less standardized format.
