ABOUT DAVE

Living in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, I have spent my creative career in both photography and graphic design. I’ve always considered photography as my best talent. Either way, my work ethic doesn’t falter. In my career, I’ve experienced different work environments starting at a small local photo studio to large PR agency to mid-size non-profit organization. Between these environments, I’ve had the pleasure to work for and with kids, students & teachers, executives, NFL players, and animals. I’ve photographed dairy cows, wildlife and I admit it, my dog, Dillinger. (I sometimes consider him as wildlife)

Seinfeld fandom is celebrated amongst my friend group and has won me several themed trivia nights. One time I won by myself. Literally, no one showed up except me. Aside from Seinfeld, I also like to cook, go to regular trivia nights, and yell at the Bears and Blackhawks.

In early 2021, I finally made the decision to start my own business focusing primarily in corporate business event photography. As many photographers would say, I am at my best behind the camera. I love searching for those great moments during an event and being able to freeze surprise reactions like a group in laughter, emotional embrace and creating photos in a way not seen live. It’s those fleeting moments captured in a great photo that create value whether it’s personal emotional value or content that helps elevate your business. So, if you’re searching for a “photographer near me”, I hope you’ll consider me to document and help create a valuable story.
