David's Girls

2011 Was a very good year for my work, I received a bit of recognition, made some new friends, traveled all over southern California taking pictures and even revived some work in film.

But no one knows better than me I didn't do it alone, these absolutely phenomenal and very talented individuals made it all possible and without them, I would be out there shooting landscapes and cactus. These girls got up early, suffered my company on long drives to remote areas of desert, hiked, climbed rocks and braved cold, wind, rain and heat just to create these images.

All I can say is each of them deserves serious kudos, each of them has my deepest respect, gratitude and love because they are what art is made of. And I'm not the only photographer they work with so you really ought to be watching them! The incredible people I had the privilege and honor of working with in 2011, in order of appearance...

Plus someone who will be coming back to California at the end of December to shoot with me, this has been a very blessed year and I am so very humbled by the people who have shared it with me, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

  1. Wonderful images, and I'm glad you've had a productive year, getting the recognition you deserve.
    It's also lovely to read an acknowledgement of the models you work with too. As you say, it is a two way process.

  2. Really wonderful images David. These women are true artists in every right. And you're correct, we photographers can NOT do it alone. As I tell my models "My photographs are nothing with out you! My naked ass just wouldn't be the same in these pictures"!!
