David Hardy is the owner of Dave’s LifeStyle Photography. He is a Certified Professional Photographer, a member of Professional Photographers Assoc , Oklahoma PPA and Texas PPA. His business is located west of Caney in the country with 20 acres of photo opportunities and a modern studio. SAL was privileged to have David as their guest. His presentation of photographs was expertly explained. A professional photographer does the same planning as a person who paints in media. He selects his subject, plans balancing, shadows, foreground and applies certain rules. As David walked us through the photos he brought, it was a door opening in my mind! So fascinating how his editing made a photograph become interesting, not a point and shoot. His manner and smile are very genuine which reflects how much he loves his art. He explained the different methods of capturing a person's face to make it look full or soft and angular. He jokingly claimed that the best photo is not expected and often an accident. He travels extensively seeking landscape, people and any object that his camera can transform into a photograph of interest. He never takes a picture of a person straight on or the minute they meet. He likes to engage them in conversation and capture them in a natural pose and relaxed.
Currently he schedules sessions on a limited basis, mostly evenings and weekends. He has a passion for creative work and attempts to do things different than every other photographer. As often as his schedule allows he likes to work on self-assignments, and creative projects. These sessions can provide opportunities for discounted or even free sessions.
