Dave beside "Sisters at Play", Art of Photography Show 2011
“In my life, my most wonderful teachers have encouraged me to be a very good student. I love learning new things and I can think of nothing better than future photographers thinking as well of me.”
Oh? You want to get into professional pet photography? Awesome. Just want to learn to use your fancy new camera? Cool. I have been teaching private lessons to groups and individuals since 2011. I'm happy to structure your lessons however you like, be that a private lesson on aperture control for depth of field or a presentation of Pet Photography 101 to your entire group/club. We can even spend the day together one-on-one in a free-form consultation tailored to your needs.
“As a dog photographer myself, I must say that David’s talent is natural and inspiring. He not only has “a way” with the animals, but his professionalism and personal nature make him a joy to do business with as a human.”
I have been a photographer since 1979, and a full-time professional since 2009. In 2011 Calumet Photographic and invited me to write and deliver a pet photography class geared toward the advanced amateur photographer. I teach all around SoCal, presently offering private lessons, classes at George's Camera and Nelson Photo Supplies in San Diego. I also have the great honor of teaching classes through the San Diego County Fair where I have also judged the state's largest pro/am photography competition since 2012.
Private lessons begin at $100/hr. Discounts are available for a larger curriculum or when multiple students are present. Contact me by phone for details.
