Dave Takes Photos

If you’d like to purchase prints or license my work, please reach out. I am also available for contract work, & am happy to discuss everything from headshots & portraits to full media packages including on-location camera operation & cinematography. Please inquire… I’d love to see if I’m the right photographer for the job!
