it’s not about me
I’m Dave Close – portrait photographer
As a photographer we often overlook photographing our own families. If only I had proper pictures, not just snaps, of my grandparents and my parents.
We are all busy so don’t let that be your experience, take a moment to create with me some beautiful portraits that will be memories forever.
As a husband, father and now grandfather you realise more and more how important family is.
Family photographs become more precious with time. Our children and grandchildren find that featuring in family portraits validates who they are as well as revealing a little about family in times past.
I have been photographing for most of my life initially for personal travel around the world. For the past twenty plus years I have shot professionally – weddings, portraits and commercial.
I have a higher national certificate in photography and have done countless workshops with industry experts from around the world.
But, what is most important is YOU. My challenge is to reveal your personality and create pictures you will love, your challenge is to resist buying them all.
