PHOTOGRAPHER | FILMMAKER | WRITER

David Spiegel

I'm a freelance photographer, filmmaker, and writer. I work with outdoor brands, guiding outfitters, non-profits, and publications to produce digital media and tell engaging stories.

Because of my background in outdoor sports and international travel, I specialize in location shoots that are tough for many photographers and videographers to reach. I am ready to take my camera anywhere, whether it's a remote river canyon, steep couloir, or an urban street.

I am available for hire, so please get in touch!

This humpback fluked right next to our little zodiac the other day. Count the barnacles on the tail?

The Raptor Center in Sitka rehabilitates injured birds a releases them back into the wild— everything from eagles to pygmy owls. This one was a ham for the camera. I don't usually photograph animals in captivity, but the details on this eagle were too cool to pass up. •

Had a blast watching sea lions yesterday. These males were taking a break from feeding in the strong tidal currents of the Inian Islands. •

Bald eagles are a regular sight up here in Alaska—some locals compare them to pigeons—but they are still a beautiful and welcome sight in the misty channels. *

Thinking back to the time near the solstice two years ago... missing the midnight sunsets and wonderful community in Skjåk, Norway. This is the unbeatable view from @hansnargard •

So many great folks made the trip to Leadville to see @petrolkernalripper and @carolinerton get hitched! @iamherscules and @hannahsohl taking in the view from 12,000 feet on top of Ball Mountain just outside of town. #leadville #bureauofloveandmarriage

For World Oceans Day, one of my all-time favorite salt water locations to visit is the Skookumchuck Narrows in BC. The ocean is beautiful, it's varied, and it's one of our great treasures. @eli.spiegel on the wave. #worldoceansday •

The kite boarders were loving the high winds at Nahant yesterday. It looked pretty moody out there with so much mist and haze. •
