ABOUT DAVE

Born and raised in Downriver Detroit, I moved my family to Northern Michigan in 2007 after falling in love with the area.

I am a commercial, editorial, and portrait photographer and storyteller. I love photographing people.

I strive to capture authenticity through portrait, lifestyle, wedding, commercial, sports, concert, and travel photography. I pursue the real emotions between real people that produce the most beautiful and evocative photographs.

My approach is photo-journalistic, finding fresh and creative ways to preserve genuine, intimate, and playful moments.

I picked up a professional camera for the first time while in the US Air Force, way back in 1991. I also spent 10 years as professional historian working with archival photographs.
