Let’s Work together
My passion lies in the west - her mountains, wildlife, landmarks, cities, & spirit. After years of western pilgrimages from the east coast, I pioneered my way to California and settled in San Jose. Today you can find me anywhere between the Rockies and the Pacific, faithfully documenting the land and capturing her spirit. I want my images to be as wild as the west promises to be: unshaken, untamed, & unpredictable.
My style combines a modern approach with a classic vibe. Using the highest quality professional gear while editing with subtle film styling creates assets that are visually inspiring, aspirational, and timeless.
“Working alongside Dave is an absolute joy and pleasure. His professionalism, creativity, thoughtfulness, talent, attitude, and expertise are second to none—he is a fantastic writer, beautiful photographer, and a wonderful human. He embodies the true definition of Nomad, and what we strive to be.”

Audience
Website / Blog
People visit my page to view my galleries and read my travel blog. Everything on my site is presented ad-free, and I intend to keep it that way. Traffic comes through my mailing list, discovery on Unsplash, social media groups, and high-traffic brand partners.
Unsplash
I am a top-contributor with Unsplash and Getty Images, and through them have had many brand partnerships with companies like Target, Bespoke Post, Hevias, and others. With over 180M views and 750k downloads of my images (as of August 2022), my Unsplash platform is sure to gain you millions of views of your content.
Social
The last word I would ever use to describe myself is an influencer. I use social to be social, and have a modest following on Instagram where I share a daily image as an ongoing portfolio project. I post daily stories in real-time and uncurated. Visit @daveherring for more information.
Mailing List
I send a mailer every week to subscribers with new blogs and relevant content. I have a mailing list through Mailchimp, as well as Squarespace.
“Dave has been wonderful to work with at Bespoke Post. He constantly delivers quality, fantastic images of our products that really capture the sense of discovery that comes with opening a Bespoke Post box. He's dependable, communicative, and we trust him to capture content of all sorts.”

Deliverables
If you work with me, I can guarantee you will love the assets you receive, or I will redo them all on my own dime. You won’t find a harder-working creative. You also won’t find a creative as committed to a fun, drama-free experience. I am highly relational and it’s my desire to build long-lasting relationships with my clients.
All of the content I deliver for your location or project comes with a special surprise - it’s license free! That means that when you’re in your creative zone, you don’t have to worry about which images you do/do not have rights to use. If you receive it from me, it’s yours to use indefinitely for whatever you need it for.
