Davansa Photography

I grew up in Bristol, England photography was always within me, but it took a chance conversation in work for me to realise it was a passion I wanted to take further.

Even at school I would be the one with a camera in my hand capturing fun times and saving memories of the world around me; there was no skill in mind just the enjoyment of freezing a moment in time.

Through the years this passion continued then one day in work I was asked by a colleague ‘if you could do any job or be anything, what would it be?’ without think I replied ‘wildlife photographer’. That was it, I went home that day and started to become what I always wanted to be without knowing it. I had no knowledge of photography or camera equipment, I did some courses to teach me the basics then went and bought my first ‘proper’ camera and I have developed everything else from there with practice and patience.

My dad is a artist and growing up I would see his work and this is where I developed my eye for setting up an image and its colours, this now comes though in my photography. I love to capture images that are striking and catch your attention.

Each day I want to capture a moment that will welcome you into my world and where you will leave with a smile having seen it. My love for photography continues to grow I find true peace being behind the lens, its who I am down to the last pixel.

I was very lucky to have one of my images selected for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibiton 2019. This is the worlds largest open art exhibition in the world.
