His work reflects a deep passion for storytelling through imagery, educating and inspiring others to value and protect nature, both on land and at sea.
In recent years, David has worked with National Geographic and Canadian Geographic photographers, these experiences further strengthened his commitment to conservation, leading him to dedicate his photography fully to environmental initiatives and advocacy.
Raised in Labrador, David developed an early connection to the natural world and a passion for photography passed on to him from his father. With a deep rooted lineage of hunters, fishermen, and sea captains he choose a different path. While honoring that heritage, David has committed his life to giving back to the land and sea using impactful imagery to protect the very places that shaped him.
