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!

Short eared owls in the Galapagos have adapted to hunt during the daytime. Here's one on Genovesa island. We watched it for about 45 minutes and then, mid flight, it plucked this storm petrel right after the air. You can see it in the owl's talons. #wildlifephotography •

Shot on iPhone 7+ with the @exolens wide angle lens and a long exposure! This little clip-on lens with Zeiss optics is an awesome creative tool for mobile photography. Super excited to keep playing with it. •

I usually shoot in the great outdoors, but it was fun to get into a studio setting and play with lighting and backgrounds with the Esh Circus Arts professional-prep students. This shoot really made me appreciate photographers who know a lot about lighting! This is Lucia Cassan on the silks. •

**this is a captive animal**I usually don't post photos of animals in captivity, but this owl in the Raptor Center in Sitka is just too beautiful not to share. The Raptor Center rehabilitates injured birds and released them back to the wild. #owls #raptorcenter #lindbladexpeditions #wildlife #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #birdsofprey #birdsofinstagram @lindbladexp

When the locals decide that @steepwaterstudios clearly has no idea what he's doing and that he needs help putting his sprayskirt on. #steepwatermonk •
