My Story
Hey,
Dave here and firstly, thank you for visiting the website and taking the time to read pages like these, it genuinely means a lot.
​
I started photography back in around 2000, at the age of 8.
My grandfather was a keen photographer and I wanted nothing more than to follow in his steps and be able to take photos that provided wonderful memories for anyone and everyone to look at.
Initially I started out with disposable cameras, which I took on holidays with the family and school trips.
Eventually digital cameras became cheaper and I was able to have my own, which allowed me to see the photos I was taking and improve my skills on the fly, as opposed to waiting for photos to develop and return.
​
Once I was earning a wage, I bought a camera for myself and Hayley to use on our travels and for our concerts / shows that we attended and it was from here that my passion really took off and it became a consistent thing for me whenever we went anywhere like that.
​
Fast forward to 2023 and I decided to turn my hobby into a company which would predominantly be used to showcase my work and potentially open up opportunities to take photos at more shows and events, without the need to sit so far away in the stands.
​
I founded the company in the family name of my Grandfather, which is also my middle name, of McKim, to honour his legacy and teachings.
