As long as he can remember David has had a love for nature. Coupled with living by the sea, this led him to a degree in Marine Biology at Bangor University. As enjoyable as this degree was, he quickly realised that was not where his future lay.

He bought a camera, spent as much time as possible learning about photography and taking pictures, and when his degree finished in 2001 found a post-graduate MSc in Biological Photography and Imaging. One intensive year of photography and science later, he jumped into the photographic industry.

He wound up as picture editor at one of the most widely respected wildlife picture libraries in the world, representing some of the top wildlife photographers currently working around the world.

A year or so later and it was time to move again. A natural flair for the more technical aspects of photography and a love of the Canon EOS system saw him up sticks and move to Oxfordshire to take up a post as the Technical Editor of EOS Magazine, a subscription only publication with an international circulation of a little over 20,000.

That was in 2004 and while he has moved on a technical editor, he still continues to write about photography in a freelance capacity. He has expanded his teaching and can be found regularly giving advice on the finer aspects of photography to both amateurs and professionals he comes in contact with. He has also setup his own training courses with Sid Jervis to help photographers with the basics of studio photography. Keep an eye out for upcoming international photo holiday tours in the future as well.

Although wildlife and natural history photography was his first love and still what he prefers to do, these days he can be found photographing almost anything, from simple product shots and commercial work to abstract close-ups, portraiture and event photography. The only area he steadfastly refuses to get involved in is wedding photography...
