My Story
Hey, I’m David, but Jetlag works too. I’m in NYC—well, when I’m not hopping between gigs in Hamburg or Santa Fe. My partner and I just did a minimoon in Tokyo. If I’m not shooting for work, I’m probably freediving somewhere, chasing that underwater quiet. Love how light bends down there, and yeah, I ski when I can. My life’s all over my socials—travel, my partner, our cat (he travels, too). Caffeine? Never not caffeinated.
My Work
What I shoot - Commercial photography, moody brand short films, hotel and hospitality content, plus fine art prints. I go cinematic.
My vibe - Filmmaker at heart, I tell stories—less product, more mood. Classic cinema, but make it modern.
Who I’ve worked with - Four Seasons, Plaza Hotel, Sofitel, Victorinox, Banana Republic. Visual storytelling for luxury hospitality.
How I work - Obsessed with gear—Sony, Leica, sometimes even iPhone. It’s all about the right tool for the story.
