------------------------

 

I love to bring into focus that which I find beautiful - to create imagery that is fascinating, visually arresting, iconic, beautiful, sensual, to evoke emotion, to stir the soul like a moment from a movie - all from just that split second that was captured, often even outside of my own understanding - capturing some aspect of it's essence that is either obvious and visible or that which is hidden beneath the layers. And at times to even create something fresh and new.

 

That's what I try to do anyway.

 

I am a photographer because it is my love, my passion, my fascination of the world and the beauty within it. I believe I'm great at what I do because of this love for imagery and fascination with the world and people.

 

------------------------

I am available for Weddings, Portraiture, Fashion, Lifestyle, Food, Table Top and other photography.

 

I currently reside just outside NYC.

 

I've been photographing since I was a kid, professionally over 20 years. Learned a lot from my grandfather who was an engineer with a fascination for optical perfection and collecting the sharpest lenses and most wonderful cameras in the world.

 

I even photographed Ansel Adams once. I was 14. But it was actually only a snapshot. Boy, I need to find that negative.

 

Studied photography and design at School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, RISD and Pratt.

I look forward to finding new images from creagency in my contacts. The images are sharp, with a spark of a fascinating person caught in frame.

I have known David for about eight years; for about two of those years, we worked together at the same creative agency overseas. David is able to bring life, technique and form into his photography. He's constantly exploring new techniques, and uses his camera as an extension of his inner vision. I've seen him take glorious shots with simple point-and-shoot cameras--it's all about skill and talent. He's an industrial designer, and an early adopter of gadgetry; you can see his obsession with crisp, clean form and lines in much of his work. David is quite gifted, and I always look forward to seeing his latest contributions on Flickr.
