David Patton
TEACHER
Focusing on equine and portraiture, David enjoys branching out and experimenting with new styles, techniques, and genres whenever he has the chance. He is a firm believer in failure only truly occurring when giving up, and that there is always more to learn. He enjoys working with others to grow in their photography as a way of not only encouraging mutual improvement but as a way of forming lasting connections and seeing the creative spark ignite in others. He also has a background in voice acting, enjoys traditional arts, and in general is a bit of a serial hobbyist.
