Howdy! I’m David — a photographer based in Austin, TX, originally from London by way of the tiny island of Alderney, where I grew up and first picked up a film camera (Nikon FE, if you’re curious). After studying photography, I moved to London to build my first portrait studio in Hackney.
Alongside photography, I spent time writing and co-producing scripted content in Los Angeles — a detour that deepened my love of story and character, and still shapes how I approach the frame today. Later, I helped launch an XR studio on the original Kodak site in Hollywood blending old-school craft with new creative tools.
Now, with my Texan wife and kids keeping me grounded (and slightly outnumbered), I shoot commercial, editorial, and branded content across Texas and beyond. My work sits somewhere between British understatement and Texan boldness — rooted in story, shaped by collaboration, and occasionally fueled by a decent crumpet.
