Natural light Portraits

Dave always uses natural light to photograph his portraits. Much of Dave’s work is outside on ranches, away from any source of power. Dave has developed a unique style of Portraiture using all natural light . His photographs have been the covers of hundreds of magazines and national ads. Dave is always willing to share his experiences and his techniques in creating these beautiful images.
