David is a self taught Photographer picking up his first ever camera in 2006. Having a love of Wildlife it was for him a natural marriage. David did not want to be a record photographer and has strived to capture the "Art in Nature" specializing in Birds and sub specializing in 3 types of Birds. Having Bi-Polar (his Blessing and his Curse) and having a Manic Phase that means he does not sleep for 7 days or 7 nights allowed him to be able to shoot 24 hours a day. His average day would consist of the following. Shoot the Sunrise, then shoot birds for a couple of ours, using a dedicated Infrared Camera shoot the mid morning harsh sunlight to late afternoon, shoot Birds, shoot Landscapes, shoot the sunset, shoot all night long and use this time to travel to the next spot, make coffee, eat and start all over again. Again his Mania also meant he could not be still for long, so shooting Birds was a constant movement, dressed in US Sniper suits and floating in the water on hand made foam camera stabilizers he was able to shoot 90% of his images using a Canon 300mm f2.8 IS and a 70-200mm f2.8 lens mounted to a Canon 1DMKIII and then the MKIV. He would have 3 cameras and lens around his neck and 50 kg's of back pack with other lenses, tripods, filters ect, food, water GPS, Sat Phone and go for a week on foot into (most cases, God knows where) the bush or swamps. He would return home a week later, sleep for 14 hours, process his images and plan the next trip. He is now doing a travelling exhibition at markets and events out of tents (Mandurah on Sundays) and will be going to Scotland in March/April to shoot the Scottish Highlands and the Wildlife.
