David Pauli | Artist Statement
A picture is a story that is captured in an instant. For many the result is often a memory that can last a lifetime. What I love most about photography, and what I hope to share with you in my work, is not what you see in the frame. It is what you don't see, but get to experience in your mind's eye. The smell of the sea, the sound of the surf, or the calling of birds. In that instant, there is a world of sensory beauty that every person enjoys in their unique way.
My preferred genre is outdoor photography, showcasing large landscapes, and variable light against contrasting backgrounds and colors. My goal is to create memories. Walk with me on the quartz sand beaches on Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key Florida at sunset and you will see, hear, smell, and remember what I mean.
I approach each picture looking for beautiful light that I can share with the world. Sometimes I get it right.
Please enjoy - this is all for you!

Inspiration
Nature inspires me in a way no other can. Infinite amounts of beauty abound, you just have to see it in the right light.
Techniques
My primary camera is a Nikon D850 which is usually attached to a Nikkor 24-120 1.4G ED lens. I try to take candid photos at sunrise and sunset to extract the most vibrant light of the day. Wide-angle images of open landscapes and seascapes with contrast and movement tend to create the most powerful images.
Career Highlights
Each and every picture is my tiny contribution to the vast world of creativity, art, and expression. I am honored to simply have you as a guest here and hope you find joy, inspiration or memories in these photographs.
