He started out in industrial photography. Over time, however, he became increasingly fascinated by nature, especially its complex survival strategies, resilience, and often inconspicuous beauty. He learned that good nature photography requires patience. Those willing to invest time, observe closely and revisit will be rewarded.

He now focuses his attention on macro and wildlife photography. With a keen sense of perspective and light, he captures insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds in a way that reveals his respect for his subjects, portraying them with clarity and intimacy. His images show not only details, but also give the animals space and dignity. Soft backgrounds, harmonious colours and precise sharpness draw the viewer's attention to the most important elements of the image.

A central theme of his work is the presence of nature in urban and industrial environments. He explores the habitats of species that have adapted to changing living conditions, from industrial wastelands to quiet riverbanks and former quarries. Eagle owls, natterjack toads and foxes find new habitats here, in places where one would hardly expect to find them. Dave reveals the things that exist right among us but are rarely noticed.

He also considers his photography to be a contribution to nature conservation. Some species are now only found in isolated pockets and are under threat from land consolidation and water pollution. This makes preserving the remaining refuges all the more important. Through his photographs, Dave aims to showcase the beauty and fragility of these habitats, raising awareness of their significance.
