David was born and raised on the eastern edge of Manchester
close to the Peak District. Visiting the hills at weekends gave him an early appreciation of landscape. A diploma in agriculture
followed by work in various parts of the country including Lancashire, Oxfordshire, East Sussex, Kent and Surrey gave him a greater awareness of the diversity of environment in the country.
David’s inspiration for his photography comes from this appreciation of the various landscapes
this country has to offer, combined with the changing play of light over the land. It is the changing light which David utilises
to affect the mood and texture of his images. In a recent radio interview he also explained how his struggle with depression
is used to inform
his dramatic and moody images.
David has had a number of images published in the photographic press and has been exhibited
at the National Theatre in London as part of the Take-a-View Landscape
Photographer of the Year competition in both 2007 and 2008. His commended images were also published in the accompanying books.
David’s first exhibition was held at The Vale and Downland Museum in Wantage and has since exhibited work at venues in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Devon, Oxfordshire and Lancashire.
His images are sold in several outlets in and around Oxfordshire and he has completed numerous commissions for landscape and
wildlife work.
