Dave WiseHi, my name is Dave and this is just a brief introduction to me. I've not always been a professional photographer, I've not gone around finding important names to follow or assist; I haven't gone to a University to "learn" photography, I have just used a camera for all of my life.

Recently I was described as part of the "fashion elite" on Britains Next Top Model. I think fashion is your own sense of self; be you and the world see's you. If you pretend to be someone else and the world will only ever see the person you are pretending to be. I am me.

I have always been creative, drawing, music; all are things I have an interest in, but my passion is my camera and the images I make. For me, making images that carry a part of me with them, makes me smile everyday.

As a devoted family man I am thankful every day for the support and love they give me. My family grounds me in everything I do. I have an old school "East End" view on the world, my history to this point in time has made me what I am. I am grateful for the opportunities life has given me.

I was never quite brave enough when I was younger to let the world around me know what I wanted to be and because of that I followed a more conventional path for a long time. I have a degree in Computer Science, I've worked for some ground breaking companies and some other's far less savoury. I am still an "East End" child and I always will be.

The catalyst for me taking the leap into the unknown and letting people know what I really wanted to do was both joyous and tragic, my son was brought into the world and my father was abruptly taken from it. Life is short, we live to live, not to hide; I no longer hide, I take photographs and make pretty pictures.
