Salmon

There are those who would dismiss Atlantic salmon as an unworthy fish because it’s farmed,  and I guess they have a point. But to nip down to the supermarket (yes, I know) and come back with something that is presentable,

Natural Light Food Photography – Then and Now

I’ve started having a look through my archived boxes of transparencies and putting some  on to a lightbox  to rephotograph with my DSLR. When I started doing food shots in the mid nineties I used a natural light, shallow depth of field,

Salt & Pepper Squid

Squid is the only fish I know how to catch or clean, and on our annual beach holiday I go squidding each day. Fresh squid is deliciously tender and sweet,  and over the course of two weeks it gets cooked

What’s Next for Team Dave?

In 2025 I'm working on a book based around a month I spent in Venice in 1995, as well as looking at new ways of rendering my ongoing low light seascape works.

In 2024 I began to develop ideas for some new work, which was exhibited in the Newmarch Gallery in May 2025.

2023 was mainly directed to working towards a solo show in August. This show formed part of the SALA (South Australian Living Artists) Festival and was held in Adelaide. It brought with it many wonderful things and made me very tired. I am now trying to recharge after three very challenging years. (Challenging, that is, by my standards.) I'm still working on a couple of series in 2024 though, and we'll see how that goes.

2021-22 saw the completion of a Masters Degree in Contemporary Art at UniSA. This was a return to full time study for the first time since 1984.
