A creative mind - David has since very young had a curious perspective. From playing instruments (trumpet and piano) since 5 years old, to delving into photoshop and Illustrator for a year 5 maths assignment. (Back when you didn’t have to pay per month for everything). Turning a learn to factorise poster into a superhero; MAX FACTOR.
Leaving school he followed an engineering path; working finding ways to improve and solve problems with robotics for the medical, food and manafacturing industries.
One day by the means of a camera and a trip to Europe, David found himself discovering his medium for creativity - starting his work for Emirates capturing holiday locations around the world. Following this for a short time having the honour of assisting and developing his skills with one of the all time great fashion photographers.
Unfortunately this was brought to an end with the passing away of his younger brother - Leading to the creation of his first short film (sponsored by Olympus) ‘The Darkroom’ which encountered much success by winning multiple short film festival awards including a screening in Cannes.

EXT. STREET CAFE - DAY
David, 29 - short touseled mousy brown hair and curated stubble connecting the edges of his furrowed brow to his mouth, holds a slight ponderous lip bite. Looks around taking in the view while picturing his next line.
He starts typing again with a purposeful gait.

DAVID
I’ve been lucky to be blessed with success, though it has been many hours of practice, failures, wins and experimenting to get where I am.
Many of the personal projects and clients I’ve worked with have allowed me to create new and engaging work with them.
Such as Amazon Prime, Nike, LG, Samsung, IKEA, Tiffany and Co., Nivea, Tourism Italy, Sydney Dance Co., The Australian Ballet, Vogue Italia, Elle Denmark, Coates, JLL, Mirvac, Tassal, Harley Davidson, SONY, Jagged Little Pill, Theatre Royal, Griffin Theatre, Malthouse Theatre, Olympus and More.
With shoots being held in Australia and abroad. Places such London, NYC, LA, Chicago, Japan, Italy and Paris.
Since the Darkroom I’ve also optioned a script & sold another to major hollywood studios. [One animation and another live action based on exisiting work.] With the goal to direct/showrun long form while continuing to create short form art between projects.
Thanks for giving me your time and enjoy the images and motion on the following pages.
