I’ve had a passion for photography that has lasted for over 30 years. I built my first darkroom at age 14 in 1974 and graduated in journalism from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) located in Calgary in 1983. I continued my photographic studies at the Western Academy of Photography in Victoria BC in 1986-87. During the next decade while working in the photo retail industry I continued to build my photo archive of images. During this time my passion for nature and landscape photography increased while growing my archive.
I’ve combined my love for technology and photography when the digital photography revolution started. Currently I’m shooting stock for Alamy and have an archive of over 2000 images hosted through this website. I specialize in landscape and nature imagery of Canada. Recently I also started a meet-up photography group Calgary Passion for Photography Group where we currently have around 125 members in a very active group. I’m also starting to do a lot of photography with models as this is something that is a challenge for me. I have now setup a new website for my glamour and boudoir photography and it is located at davepattinson.net
