David Shilian

MY NAME IS DAVID SHILIAN, I’M A FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN CALIFORNIA. I’VE BEEN TAKING PHOTOS EVER SINCE MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME A EASTMAN KODAK FOLDING CAMERA AT THE AGE OF SEVEN.
LIKE MANY PEOPLE, I USED TO TAKE THE MAJORITY OF MY PHOTOS WHILST ON HOLIDAY OR WHILST TRAVELLING WITH WORK. MY STYLE WAS INFLUENCED HEAVILY BY THE AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHERS AT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AND LONELY PLANET. ALTHOUGH I WAS PASSIONATE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY, FOR MANY YEARS IT REMAINED NO MORE THAN A HOBBY. I ONLY DREAMT OF BEING A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.
