David’s Bio and Contact Information

In 2009, David ditched his trusty Canon AE-1 film camera to embrace the burgeoning phenomenon of digital photography.

Since then, David has gone on to create a prolific and stunning body of work that serves as a colorful love letter to urban environments.

Wherever he lands throughout the world, his photographic mantra is to inspire life among the​ otherwise inanimate,​​ while integrating architectural and environmental elements​ ​into powerful expressions of art.

In a relatively short amount of time, he amassed a catalog of more than three thousand images. And he’s gaining speed.

An avid cyclist, he whips through the hills of Northeast Ohio, the scenery passing by in a blur. He talks fast and walks even faster. David can easily fill a room with his deep voice and his passion for discovering new connections is never ending.

A natural networker, he thrives on building long lasting Relationships with his interior design, corporate, business and individual clients and delights in finding new ways to “Wow” them with his work

These days you might find David brainstorming with an interior designer about his next installation project, leading a presentation at a Camera Club or perched in his office chair in the middle of the night, lit by the glow of his monitor.

But, there’s one thing you can always count on… he’s creating something new…And you’ll definitely want to see it.
