About David
Calgary-based Director/DP with 15+ years shooting cinematic commercial, branded, documentary and tourism content. I run DCFOTOFILM Inc. and shoot on Canon C500 Mark II (x2) with DZO Vespid cinema primes and a full lens range from 16mm to 400mm, plus Aputure lighting, pro audio, grip and a DJI Mavic 4 Pro (Transport Canada Basic RPAS, flying drones 11+ years). I'm mainly hired as DP and can build out a full crew (gaffer, key grip, DIT, PAs, locations) when a project needs it. Clients include Discovery Channel, Travel Alberta, PayPal, University of Calgary, Liverpool FC, CP Rail, Toronto Blue Jays, Wealthsimple, Save-On-Foods, Nutrien and Case IH. Best at interview-driven productions, documentary storytelling and lifestyle/tourism work, in the studio or on remote location. Based in Calgary and travel often for work.
