David duChemin

David duChemin is a photographer, best-selling author, and international workshop leader. Not content to teach you to make photographs that are just good but rather truly your own, David has written over a dozen books about this craft, including Within the Frame, The Soul of the Camera, The Heart of the Photograph, and Light, Space & Time. He writes one of the longest continuously running photography blogs on the planet and is known for his passion for personal expression, his suspicion of rules, and his love for the creative process. 

A former humanitarian photographer creating images of hope and dignity for the international NGO community, his work pivoted after a life-altering accident while photographing in Italy in 2011. Now a below-the-knee amputee, his calling lies in photographing the natural world and nudging others to pursue a life of intention and creativity. When he’s home, he’s based on Vancouver Island, Canada, but you can find him, his work, and his blog, at DavidduChemin.com.
