Commercial photographer, Denver, Colorado- Product, Advertising, Food Photography

Dennis Davis is a commercial photographer serving Denver Colorado with digital images that sell products. He specializes in product, food and advertising photography.

"I understand that what I am doing is commercial art," says Davis. "If my image doesn't make the viewer want to buy my client's product then I haven't done my job."

"Light is the most important thing about a photograph," says Davis. "Anybody can point a camera, but the art and science of understanding and controlling light separates the weekend shooters from the pros. Photography is painting with light. I try to use and manipulate light to make my images look three dimensional - you can almost feel the textures on the page. I love creating images with bold, saturated colors, and close-up, in-your-face style that stop the viewer from flipping pages and say 'wow, that's cool'."

"You will get excellent service," promises Davis. "Your images will be delivered on time, on budget, as promised. I guarantee there will be plenty of images that are good quality - accurate exposures and properly focused - or I will reshoot for free."

Dennis Davis Biography

At age 9, Dennis Davis started shooting landscapes in Yosemite Valley, California with a Kodak Brownie camera, and fell in love with the ability to capture the beauty of nature and share it with family and friends. At age 19, Dennis worked as a counselor at a Yosemite summer camp, and was approached by another counselor about helping with photography duties.

“She gave me a manual Nikon camera to use, and about 50 rolls of slide film. My training period lasted about 45 seconds,” says Davis. After shooting 5 rolls, the moment of truth came during the processing in the darkroom. “I think we spent more time making out then we did processing the film. But when I saw my images in rich, spectacular color on the slides, I was hooked” Exclaimed Davis.

“My family was very poor as I was growing up, my father picked fruit and my mother ran a used clothing store, so I could not afford my own camera. While working for a doctor for $40 a month at a missionary training center in Alabama, I began praying for a camera of my own.”

Dr. Calvin Thrash approached me one day, saying “Pentax is changing from a screw mount to a bayonet mount system. My screw mount system is obsolete, and I am going to replace it with a bayonet mount camera. Would you be interested in my screw mount Pentax system” he asked?

The Pentax system had a manual SLR camera body and six lenses. “It was the answer to my prayers. I purchased several books on photography, saved my money and bought an inexpensive studio lighting system, and within a few months I was shooting photographs for brochures, album covers and book covers,” Davis continues.

“About 2 years after getting my first camera given to me, I opened a photography studio in Columbus, Georgia in a run-down building. I shot a 90 page full-color catalog the first year in business, and got the contract for it again the year after. However, there was not enough businesses and corporate headquarters in the small town of Columbus to keep an advertising photographer busy, so I opened a photography business in Denver, Colorado,” Davis explains.

"I still love photography for the same reason I did when I was 9 years old. It allows me to capture something beautiful, and share it with others."

“Although photography is my first love, I also enjoy reading, movies, travel, art, music and the outdoors. I enjoy biking, volleyball, computers, camping and dining out. I play guitar and singing for my church. I was raised a vegetarian, and have stuck to the diet most of my life. My favorite things are flowers, waterfalls, mountains and animals. I speak Spanish well, and visit Mexico several times a year. It is my wish that I may work to bring happiness to the lives of others, work to end to the war, reduce global warming and pollution, and help to preserve some of the natural beauty in this great county.“
