David lives in Datchet, a village on the River Thames west of London, UK, with his wife Jane and three daughters. After half a career in senior marketing roles with large multinationals, and a spell as Director and part owner of a successful Direct Marketing agency, he gave up full-time work in 1997 to photograph and write.
His work hangs in the meeting rooms, boardrooms and reception areas of a number of major organizations. Elected an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society at the first attempt in 1997, David has had several works accepted for their key annual tours and has participated successfully in several London exhibitions.

I aim to create distinctive, strong, vibrant color images that are comfortable to look at because they are well balanced in terms of structure, caller and form. The result should express itself as a complete, harmonious yet interesting image that will stand the test of time.
I work outdoors in natural light, always trying to photograph a subject in conditions that fully realize its pictorial potential. I try to achieve a strong graphic quality, and simplicity is an overt goal. I try consciously to omit elements from my work unless they can contribute positively to its success.
The ultimate expression of this photographer's work is the fine print. After extensive comparative testing, I switched from conventional "wet" printing to prints produced on a LightJet on Fuji Crystal Archive gloss photographic paper a year or two ago. I have no regrets and this is one decision I'm unlikely to change. The benefits include much greater fidelity to the original transparency; far superior sharpness and detail, the ability to produce much larger prints at a quality I consider acceptable, and the ability to repeat prints that are materially identical . All of these were major problems with the conventional print process, and my clients have accepted the change with enthusiasm.
The images on this website were made between 1997 and 2001 mainly with Bronica SQAi medium format cameras and a selection of prime lenses on Fuji Velvia and Provia film. Some of the later images are from a Mamiya 7 medium format rangefinder. Exposures are determined with the aid of a handheld spotmeter. I prefer the act of photography to agonizing about equipment.
