“I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”

– John Muir

Hi! I am David, a photographer specializing in abstract and impressionist Landscape photography.

You'll find that my photos are inspired by and made of the colours of lichen growing on rocks in remote volcanic black sand beaches, the storms and changing weather conditions of the North Atlantic coast and its constant dance of light and clouds, the beauty of the texture of an ancient tree's bark. Moved by landscapes expanding in front of me as I approach the boundary of a forest and walk into an open moor that is framed by the shape of distant mountains. Where my camera and I are more in tune is when exploring mountains, trees and coasts aimlessly. ​

In my early days I explored self-portraits through dreamlike and mysterious reflections that explored identity and a sense of belonging. Now my landscapes are about emotional and intuitive experience in natural spaces.
