Photography is my passion. For the past 15+ years, I’ve been working as a full-time professional photographer. Over the years my ability to make people feel at ease in front of the lens and coax natural expressions from them led to a career in people photography. I currently own Excalibur Photography and specialize in photographing people. In addition to producing top-notch portraits, I also back my work up with exceptional customer service —often meeting or exceeding the client’s expectations. In addition to exceptional service, it is important to me that assignments start on time and all deadlines are meant.My educational background began with the Media Resources Program at Capilano College. The Media Resources program focused on the production of educational media. Here we studied how to incorporate learning theory with photography, film, audio, video and graphics to produce effective learning tools for educational institutions and private companies. Once I switched from film to digital, I started to use Adobe Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom, and Camera Raw. With a strong desire to hone my skills, I started to take graphics courses at BCIT on a part-time basis. Never wanting to leave anything half finished, I set out to complete the Associated Certificate in Graphics Design. In addition to studying the Adobe design products, courses also included Visual Composition and Layout, Color Theory for Design, Practical Color Management, Typography, Digital Darkroom, and Strategic Design for Business, the program has given me a strong base in digital design. By incorporating these skills and my photographic skills, I have learned a whole new way to engage the viewer and to me that is very exciting.While completing the Graphics Design program, I’m also doing the on-line Web Technologies Program at BCIT. I will be finished the Associated Certificate in the fall of 2017.I’m open to new opportunities; you can send me a message or email me at davidschenkeveld@icloud.com
