Portraits

I take it you’re here because you’re into photography. I’m into it too, in particular black and white portraits. I hope there is something in my work that makes stopping by worthwhile. Best wishes, David Dunham.

Black and White Portrait Work

You’ll find below a selection of my black and white portraits. The pictures were taken in New Zealand, where I’m from, and in London, where I go to from time to time.

I’m a wee bit fascinated by the ways that people react to live music. The reactions can be as captivating as the music itself.

Part of me did wonder if I might be able to sneak in. Pretend like I was one of the invited ones. Just like all the others.

Pictures of Artists

Taking black and white pictures of artists brings a lot of joy. Such a thrill to see them at work, on the stage at festivals or clubs, and wherever they are most creative.
