FINDING LIGHT FROM DARKNESS

“Do NOT hesitate to hire David.”

“I really liked that he let me try things out. We ended up having so much fun that we spent way more time shooting than we had booked for and David didn’t charge for the extra time (so I tipped extra, of course).”

Behind the lens

Hey there, Im David! I began shooting portraits in 2010. After navigating the professional photography world for 4 years, I felt drained as I was booking and traveling for work that did not fulfill my creative desires.
During lockdowns I found my passions reignited; building a darkroom reminded me of the home I found in photography.

Now, I’m relaunching DNA Studios, focused on storytelling and capturing each subject's hidden essence. I aim to create a comfortable space where you can be yourself and “glow.”

I specialize in nightlife, theater, and conceptual portraiture, evoking emotions and telling impactful stories. DNA Studios values collaboration and diverse perspectives. If you’d like to create a story together, let’s connect and have an adventure.
