DAVID McNEESE Photographer

I began working as a professional photographer when I was in High School in Edmond, Ok. After High School I attended the Arts Institute Of Dallas in Dallas, Texas and studied commercial photography. After studying and working in Dallas I returned to my home state attending the University of  Central Oklahoma and obtained a Bachelors degree in Photo Journalism. I knew I would end up working in the advertising business as a commercial photographer. I was fascinated by the wide variety of work and the "group collaboration" needed to create images for great ad campaigns.

I consider myself an advertising and public relations photographer. The advertising field is filled with a wide variety of people and personalities that are all different. I enjoy bringing all of the personal and creative elements together to create great images.

I take personal inspiration from photographers such as Arnold Newman. I like to attend lectures and seminars by fellow working professionals. There is so much to learn from professionals as well and aspiring photographers.
