Here is David's bio in his own words:
"I do not consider myself an artist ....... a creative artisan, certainly. I work as a movie cameraman and thus my role is to give flesh and atmosphere to a director's vision. It is an interpretive role that requires sensitivity to needs other than my own and the ability to use my own creativity to add the extra dimension of visual interest and mood. Some of my work here reflects this. It is for the most part rather literal and photographic and much of it relies on playing with 'light'.
An Englishman living in Brussels, Belgium, married to a Viennese, and having two multi-lingual sons, I view myself as a European. Between us our family speaks five languages. By reason of my work, I've had the good fortune to travel a huge portion of the world, both developed and remote. The son of a photographer, I was, by the age of eight, already taking photographs and starting to use a darkroom. A liberal school background that combined heavy emphasis on the arts, alongside the disciplines of advanced mathematics and engineering drawing, led to rather diverse abilities which, together with my background, came together naturally in professional photography. I am now in my forty-eighth year of working with film.
I am completely self taught in computer graphics. Late in life, already well into my fifties, I discovered a photo editing software bundled with a scanner, started to play with it and was soon exploring other graphics applications. This has now become a passion equalled only by my lifetime passion for Asian and Oriental inspired cooking. My prime interest is the creation of photorealistic Escher like illusions combining photography and computer generated imagery. A number of these are published in illusion books and can be found on the Web."
Although David does excellent photography it is his illusionary work that appeals to us here at Optical Spy. We recommend that you visit David's website to see more of his work.
