Born on Merseyside in 1962, David's interest for photography began at school. He studied photography at The Wirral College of Art & design and, in 1981, began his photographic career in Liverpool. Now living in West Yorkshire, he devotes himself to photographing the landscape.

"The landscape and photography are very important to me. There is a sense of magic outdoors. Our variable weather creates so many different moods and feelings in the landscape. The changing light reveals patterns, shapes, tones and textures that may go unnoticed if we don't spend time discovering and exploring them. I love this experience. Being able to share this with others, through photography, is something that I cherish. I want to raise people's awareness and appreciation of the landscape with my photography. Working in monocrome allows me to portray the landscape in a way people may not be familiar with. Without colour, a black & white photograph invites us to become involved and intrigued with the subject. Our landscape offers us the same invitation. I would like to think that my images encourage people to explore it for themselves."

David gained the Royal Photographic Society's (RPS) Licentiateship Distinction in 2002 and his Associateship in 2004; gallery 1 shows his ARPS panel. His first major solo exhibition was at the Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax in 2005. David is currently working towards his Fellowship with the Royal Photographic Society. He has just been offered a solo exhibition at John Ruskin’s Brantwood, Coniston. This exhibition opens in February 2007.
