Professionals look at the light. – Most look at the scene.
You Have the Cameras. – Let’s Focus on Pictures.

“The Art of Tonal Painting” Workflow.
Every Colour Masterpiece Begins as A Stunning Black & White first.
We don’t see the world in colour, we see it through tone, by a massive 20:1 ratio. – The human eye has 120 million rods to perceive tone, only 6 million cones to perceive colour. My workflow embraces this biological reality: I prioritise tone. I first create a solid structural foundation of light, 3D form, and spatial distance using tone, and overlay this foundation with colour. – This workflow creates beautiful travel and outdoor masterpieces full of light, mood, drama and atmosphere. It’s the approach used by old master painters for hundreds of years, and challenges popular convention, but the results speak for themselves. – I take your photography beyond the camera. I focus on creating masterpieces.

A Photographer’s Experience – Carlo Marrazza, Italy.

Hi David,
One of the most valuable things I did in my Photography journey was spending time with you. – Since then, I have always adapted your methods to my Photography. In November 2023, I was awarded International Photographer of the Year – in the People section, and, much more importantly, I won the Lucie Award as a non-professional photographer.
So, thank you, David. I hope you are fine.
My best regards.
