About

Winner of the International Wedding Album of The Year Award for 2004, David Simm, offers a complete wedding album design service for professional wedding shooters

Type business: Full Time Professional Photographer

My photographic style: has evolved from glass plates, through rollfilm to digital capture, I'm not sure where it's going. but always on the cutting edge.

My greatest strengths: In this day and age, that would have to be my sense of humour.

I have been in photography: half a century plus

How I got started in photography: News & Sport coverage for the Manchester, Liverpool and Lancashire Daily papers.

My photographic skills: to remain vertical during an assignment while still gripping heavy equipment.

My personality: Somewhat outgoing, though have been described in less endearing terms.

Geographic areas I cover: Spiralling outwards from Chicagoland across the sub continent and occasionally the globe

Venues I frequently attend: Well the only ones I get to more than once, the second time is usually to apologize.

I found inspiration from: Truthfully, the youth of today, in spite of their lack of experience and training, they do have a knack of bringing a fresh approach. On the other hand I have been influenced by just about everybody from the painting on cave walls, not all influence was appreciated however, some screamed how not to do it.

Success in photography: Fellowship, Master, etc.

multiple awards in the past

Photographic training: The DS school of life

My interests outside photography: Life in all its glory

Major events: Those closest to my heart, involve my progeny they're also the mist challenging.

Testimonials: too numerous to list, from an archbishop of Canterbury, Saudi Princes, editors and journalists aling with dear old Joe Public.

Why I like the SWPP: The SWPP for as long as I have been involved not only kept pace with the evolution of the medium but has lead the way on a national and global scale.

Tagline: One of a kind.

Future plans: At my age they're mostly short term, but four as long as I am able I will be adding my touch to imaged of distinction, making legends human and humans legendary.
