To create and connect
Meet Davey, Shoott photographer
Thu, Feb 18 2021

Publications or brands you have shot for
Weekend Safari, Rare Cut, Vespa
What camera body and lenses do you primarily use?
Sony A7III + Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8
What are your biggest strengths as a photographer?
My biggest strength as a photographer is visualizing the shot before taking it.
Why do you love photography?
I love photography because it's a medium that allows me to express my desire to create and to connect with the subject/object. The fact that I also make a living off of it is a bonus that not many are fortunate to have.

Who/what are your biggest inspirations or passions?
I strive to be good at what I do. As one should, obviously. Looking up to people who are better at the craft is a wonderful thing, because it shows just how much work is needed to be done to meet the standard you know you should be on. Fashion photography is something I enjoy from the concept of actually producing the final result. Lara Jade, a UK fashion photographer, is someone I look up to. Her images look very minimal and simple, but the work put behind them is splendid.

What are some of the challenges you've had to overcome?
I struggle with being perfectionist. I can spend 20 minutes shooting one thing over and over again without noticing the passage of time. Rather than having multiple great shots, I'd end up with 2-3 perfect shots. I'm currently working on this and just letting things be. Comparing myself now to two years ago, I'd say I've come a long way.
What are you most proud of personally/professionally?
It's been 10+ years in and I'm still not bored of pressing the shutter button. I really don't know what I'd be doing if I weren't introduced to photography early on in life. There are countless ways to challenge myself if I feel I'm lacking in the creative department. For that, I'm certain I'll continue this journey for a very long time.
