My first camera was a birthday gift from my parents in 1965; a Kodak World's Fair Flash Camera selling for less than $8. From that moment on, I was hooked. Since then, I have been lucky enough to travel the world, shooting hundreds of thousands of images of people, places, food, flora and fauna. My friends say "If Dave doesn't have a picture of it, it never really happened."

I have been shooting female nudes as part of my portfolio for over 20 years, but the last seven years I have been committed to truly mastering the art of photographing the beauty of the female form. I have worked directly with masters like Mark Daughn, Rolando Gomez and Joe Edelman and have studied the books and videos of dozens more. I have photographed top glamour, Playboy and Mystique models such as Betcee, Stephy C, Carlotta Champagne, Tiffany Crystal, Holly Dorough, Eufrat, Arial Giovanni, Luana Lani, Kellie Maines and Alexandra Van Zeelandt as well as dozens of professional and amateur models who are no less talented and beautiful.

Now my head is full of ideas for glamour, pinup and Playboy-style nude photo shoots. I am especially focused on shoots that tell a story as they move through wardrobe and location changes. I am also pursuing the elegance and beauty of fine art nudes. The trick is finding the time, the place and, of course, the right ladies to bring the concepts to life. I am also happy to help a model turn her vision into pixels. If you are a model and like the style you see in my portfolio, perhaps we will find a project to work on together.

My other passions include ballroom dancing (my wife and I have won several competitions at our age and experience level), travel, cooking (or letting a great chef cook for me) and fine wine, usually with my wife at my side and my camera in my hand. So smile, pop a cork and grab your dance shoes. Who knows when or where our paths will cross?
