Think of it as a photo studio in the wild. After struggling to track and photograph wildlife that are notoriously skittish and nocturnal, David decided to switch tactics and let them come to him, or at least his cameras. Triggered as the animal passes by, and lit with off axis lighting, camera traps allow for an intimate and unique perspective of wildlife not otherwise possible.


Utilizing a mix of off-the-shelf and custom-built components, housings and mounts, these complex set-ups are left for weeks or months out in the field. Through a great deal of trial and error – countless selfies, thousands of false triggers, wildfires, bears making unsolicited “adjustments,” and a set that was flooded and destroyed – David has managed to capture many of the animals that call Northern California home. Also, the “Christmas morning” like excitement of checking the traps to see what has tripped the shutter never gets old!
