Hey! I’m David!

In 2019 I backpacked through Europe with a camera and a lot of curiosity. Shared kitchens, night trains, conversations that started with "where are you from?" and ended with a portrait. Then I took it to the streets, stopping people I'd never met because something about them made me look twice.

Today, here in Berlin, I still chase the same thing. It might be a couple on their wedding day, a traveller who wants more than selfies, a founder who needs a headshot that actually looks like them, or someone who's finally ready for dating profile photos they're proud of.

Common Questions

  • Most people say this, and almost none of them mean it. Sessions are designed to feel less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with a friend who happens to have a camera. The focus is on connection first: natural movements, candid prompts, a bit of humour, and moments that actually look like you, not a version of you that had to prepare. If you've never liked photos of yourself, this is usually why: you've never been shot this way.

  • Mini sessions and portrait shoots are delivered within 3–5 working days. Corporate sessions within 1–2 weeks. Wedding galleries within 3–4 weeks of your date. Everything is delivered via a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints directly.

  • Wear something you genuinely feel good in. Avoid busy patterns or large logos, as these distract from the moment. Neutral tones photograph well in Berlin's light, but the real goal is that you look like yourself. If you're unsure, bring two options and we'll decide together on the day.

  • Yes, travel is part of the work. Sessions and weddings have been photographed across Europe, including Italy. Travel outside Berlin is available for any session type; costs are discussed and agreed on in advance depending on the destination.
