meet the photographer
Hello! I’m David, a passionate tintype photographer with over 25 years of experience behind the lens. I love capturing the beauty of life through my antique view cameras. In 2010, I dove into the enchanting world of the wet collodion photography and have been creating tintype portraits in the piedmont and mountain regions of North Carolina ever since.
Aside from photography, I’m also a State of North Carolina certified librarian, which feeds my love for stories (using images rather than words) and research into historical photographic processes. Plus, I enjoy making music, which adds another layer of creativity to my life. I particularly relish photographing other musicians. What makes my photography experience special? I bring my mobile darkroom right to you! Whether you prefer a cozy spot in a favorite park, or on your front porch, I am able to develop beautiful tintypes right on site, making the experience as memorable as the images we create together.
