Hello, I'm Dave. For nearly three decades, I've been committed to teaching and mentoring students who have excelled in roles from leading Audio at Microsoft to game creation for EA Sports, crafting YouTube personalities, and even becoming a professional athlete alongside Sidney Crosby. In the image and creative industries, my journey involves capturing diverse subjects like touring bands, war zones and untouched parts of our planet. I prioritize creative coaching and workshop settings over building traditional portfolios, favoring a pre-photograph work ethic over a 2018let 2019s fix it in post 2019 attitude. My teaching style is fun and flexible, utilizing a wide range of gear from 100-year-old antique lenses to toy phone cameras to modern mirrorless tech. Your learning experience will emphasize imagination and improvisation over rules and tools. I believe your tools do not define your style, your style defines your tools. We will experiment with inventive photography through basic composition ideas that focus on storytelling and emotional connection, helping you uncover your unique style. Your learning environment will have my love for strong communication and passion for history, whether in a online classroom, walking around or jumping out of a airplane. Join me for a visual adventure where we'll unlock the magic of photography together.

I am available from 11am until 11pm for private bookings. My services include private tutoring, creative coaching, discovering your style and photography for fun events. Whether you're looking to enhance your photography skills or capture special moments, I'm here to provide personalized and professional services tailored to your needs. Let's create beautiful memories together!
