Exploring the Sabang Mangrove Forest, Palawan Philippines.

Aloha, David here.

I’ve been a commercial photographer for over 30 years and I specialize in creating imagery for exceptional corporate and hospitality brands. Based in Honolulu, I’m available for assignments in California and Hawaii. I work with advertising agencies, graphic designers, and marketing professionals. My assignments cover resorts, restaurants, and lifestyle photography. This wide base of experience has helped me excel in any situation, fulfilling creative goals quickly and efficiently.

When I’m not on assignment you’ll find me hiking Oahu trails, canoe paddling, or exploring our National Parks.

Watch our new behind the scenes video of our latest food photography session at 53 by the Sea.

Please feel free to contact me about your next project. I’d be happy to discuss how I can help you promote your brand with professional photography solutions.
