Thank you for viewing my page here on Flickr I have been a member for 5 years or so and I have always found it to have the freedom to share any of my work as well as be enriched by the diversity of friends and art I have been exposed to.
This is an introduction of sorts - you can ask me anything that may come to mind. I am always seeking models to work with as well as new places to visit.
Thank you once again.
David

Starting as an engineer I became a military photographer for the USN in conflict zones and also worked on images to send back home so my Mom and Dad could see what I was up to. Sharing with my family is what drove me to get better as a photographer so that every time they saw a picture I took it was fresh and new. What drove me to become a professional was an image I took in the Persian Gulf War of a sunset - my first and last sunset photograph.
The Germain School of Photography was where I formally studied when I returned to NYC after which I was hired at a black and white professional lab and stayed there for 10 years. It was my dream job as I could work on negatives and learn the science of photography better while still working with my clients - live bands and such - on my night time hours.
I presently am a freelance photographer. I work with families, individuals (models, actors and non-models as well) and companies who purchase my photographs for their walls or as gifts. I also photograph said people for their various needs be they private, family or portfolio - even just to have a great online profile picture. I do travel.
I am well versed in the fantastic challenges and rewards of this craft of making beautiful and emotional photographs while being technically on point.

No shoot is too small. I never know what my next photograph will be - nor who I will be producing that photograph for but I do know it has to be my best photograph ever.

    "As a group administrator I got a membership request from David and after going through his stream to see if he would fit in this group I realized that it would be a huge contribution to have him as a member there. I could not stop browsing through his photo stream until I got to the very last page. What an extraordinary talent he is!
    No matter what subject comes in front of David’s lens, he will capture it with such crispness and sharpness. His vivid images show his eye and craftsmanship, as well as his great sense of composition and creativity. From the beautiful models, to the colorful flowers, to the New York cityscapes, David’s photography will leave you in awe, wanting to see more of his fantastic work.
    Thank you for sharing your world David."
