With a background in freshwater ecology much of Dave's work focuses on creating imagery that offers a unique look into the secret worlds that reside below our rivers and streams. Working with Freshwaters Illustrated, a non-profit that uses film and photography to educate the public on a variety of freshwater topics, Dave inspires curiosity and helps to encourage everyone to get out and explore their local river.
As the movement to conserve and restore rivers continues to gain momentum worldwide Dave hopes his images will help motivate a new discourse in the way we all view rivers. With all of us having some connection to a river, the power to introduce communities to their aquatic neighbors may become fundamental in the movement to conserve these wild environments.
