“David is not just an exceptional photographer and videographer; he is an extraordinary collaborator who goes above and beyond to capture the imagery and footage that will most powerfully tell a story. We’ve hired David to photograph numerous ecological restoration projects, and we are consistently blown away—not just with the results of his work, but with his preparation, focus, humility, and professionalism. He approaches the work not as a contractor or vendor, but as a teammate who is as invested in the subject he is capturing as we are. In preparing for a shoot, David seeks more than a shot list. He wants to truly understand the subject. He asks great questions and often suggests shots we hadn’t thought of. On shoot days, he is always early and ready to go. In fact, on a few occasions, he opted to camp at the project site in order to capture the sunrise. David is also extremely flexible and fun to work with. It is often the extra moments David notices and takes it upon himself to capture (e.g., a fish swimming beneath the surface of a newly opened stream channel, a bird perched atop a standing snag in a restored wetland) that we end up using most frequently. On the ground and via drone, David has photographed and filmed landscapes, flora, fauna, and people for us in ways that have elevated the quality of our communication. When it comes to capturing our work, David gets it, and he delivers.”
