Ey up! I'm Dave
Okay, let's clear up the obvious. Yes, I am Robert David, that's my name, but I was always called David. However, I thought 'Robert David' sounded far better for a business name in photography.
Yes, I am also a Yorkshireman. Born here, grew up here and remain here. Why would I leave such a diverse and beautiful landscape?
I've been a photographer for a long time. I've not always operated professionally and I took a big break from it to focus on my IT career. Frankly, that was a mistake, but that's how we learn lessons in life.
I started out photographing family portraits and soon began photographing weddings. Via a family portrait client I then got into in dance show photography before the aforementioned 'break'.
It was dance that pulled me back into photography. All four of our daughters danced at a local school and it was through volunteering my time there as a photographer that I realised I wanted to hold that camera in my hand as often as I could and that photographing dancers was something that really interested me.
I am based in Kirkbymoorside, right on the southern edge or the North York Moors National Park. It's a fantastic location to be in that affords me the luxury of having some of the most beautiful scenery in the country to work with.
My work takes me all over Yorkshire and beyond, but it's always lovely to get home.
Away from the camera I enjoy running with our Labradors, Duke and Bear, walks, cooking and spending time with my beloved family. I'm also involved with our daughters' dance school and a local theatre where I can sometimes be found carrying out chaperone duties for which I am fully licensed and enhanced DBS checked.
