Featured Professional: David C. Schultz

Moose in Abion Basin, Wasatch Mountains, UT

This week’s featured professional photographer is David C. Schultz. David is a Park City, Utah based photographer with a background in fashion photography. He changed gears in the 80s and started shooting landscape and wildlife and has since traveled to Patagonia, Antarctica, Alaska and other amazing places to pursue his craft. His full bio is available here.

I’ve visited David’s gallery in Park City, and quite honestly, you won’t get the full impact of his photos unless you visit and see his prints. His website showcases some great shots, but his photos are best seen large. His prints are very sharp for their size, making it hard to believe they weren’t shot medium format.

When I visited his gallery several years ago he had a business card holder on a desk with his business cards in it, each one with one of four of his images on the reverse. I fished around in the stack until I got all four and then took them home and taped them above my desk to keep me inspired as I worked. I have since lost them, but still remember how much his images influenced my shooting at that time.

Take a look at his website when you get a chance. And if you are in the area for skiing or for Sundance, drop by his gallery.
