This photo was edited with Kevin Kubota's 300esque
There are times where I don’t think I need to edit photos – the lighting and the subject look perfect when they come out of the camera. But then I start to dodge and burn and boost contrast and saturation and things do look even better. I love using my Wacom Intuos 4 large tablet – it is has an active area of 8″ by 12″ and it is amazing. Read the rest of this entry »

Grey, model, checks his cell phone
Last week I and another photographer hooked up to rock out an epic photo shoot. We had 3 models and only 7 hours and 4 locations stretching from Provo to Elberta to Eureka. For a while we have wanted to have a photo shoot down in Eureka – it is a semi-abandoned town.
Grey was one of the models – he only had an hour so we stayed in Provo for his photo shoot. This shoot was located Read the rest of this entry »

Flowers captured with my macro lens
I was photographing an event in a beautifully landscaped backyard and they had these cool flowers – and I happened to be armed with my Nikkor f/2.8 105mm micro lens. So I decided to practice some quick flower photography.
You can’t even tell I just a flash – on camera.
I really like this photo – maybe I should do more flowers and macro photography. Check out the photo on my SmugMug.

Henry and the playset
I love spring time! This year spring has had a few snow storms and a LOT of rain. But the side effect has been beautiful green grass and green trees and there are some beautiful evenings where families spend time outside playing on the swings and spending quality time together.

Glassware and lights create a very cool photograph
Saturday night I photographed the Human Rights Campain Gala Dinner in Salt Lake City, Utah. I will say that I rock as an event photographer – and I am not afraid to toot my own horn. I should change my business cards to say dav.d, ninja photographer
.
I get everywhere and I try to photograph everyone and everything. And I try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

Rusty Lopez Actor Headshot Photography
Actors and models need headshots. And the photography better look amazing to catch people’s eye. Good think I can rock a photo shoot. Rusty needed headshots for his acting career. He played the lead in several high school productions and he is planning on moving his new little family to Chicago soon and he would like to find some acting gigs in Chicago.

People carry the rainbow flag to finish the Gay Pride Parade
2000 photos. Wow.
I have posted more than 2000 photos from Utah’s Gay Pride celebration. These photos were taken on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Sunday will always be memorable – it rained and rained during the parade. I was prepared for the rain – I wore a 55 gallon garbage bag to stay dry. I brought a bunch of bags to protect my camera and lenses. I even passed out garbage bags to other photographers so they could protect their cameras in the rain – we don’t want the expensive equipment to get damaged. And I believe in being a good neighbor.
Check out the gallery – and photos are available for sale as prints and as digital downloads.
