He uses all kinds of cameras from the simplest compact film cameras to view cameras and to digital cameras.
In year 2009, David as an already established wedding and portrait photographer started teaching photography in small groups. He also began his street, social documentary, still life n other artistic photography projects. As he is experienced in both film n digital photography, his teaching is versatile and diverse with a personal style known to be motivational, inspiring and original.
