David is one of my favorite photographers. Both because of what he shoots - often amazing and intense photos of bands playing live - and what he represents - hard work, and persistence. After he graduated from college, he picked up a camera, and started charging any and every show that he could in L.A., shooting hundreds of artists, and teaching himself photography throughout the process. His instagram account - MINIVAN photography - has gained a strong local following, and showcases some of the most badass, intense and all around interesting photos of bands you'll find online.
