David Perry is an inspirational photographer, a willing teacher and a captivating storyteller who brings the unique insights and skills garnered in his thirty plus years of worldwide, on-location photo assignments for major corporations, ad agencies, magazines and book publishers to each new project he encounters.

The inquisitive son of a zoologist, David grew up in the field with his dad, trapping and preserving specimens for museums, exploring caves and studying the complex interplay between life forms and their ecologies. He began documenting his impressions of the living world around him with cameras at a very early age.

His very popular, A Photographer’s Garden Blog, which he began publishing in January, 2007 brings thousands of readers together each week through garden tours, thoughtful essays, seasonal imagery, playful photographic assignments, and contests that readers actively participate in.

Onstage he is a spirited, dynamic and slightly irreverent speaker who makes his presentation topics memorable and relevant to audiences through the ample use of clever graphics, breathtaking imagery, playful humor, and by never, ever talking down to them.

In addition to his ongoing assignment work for a variety of agricultural, portrait and corporate clients, David has recently completed a book project, The 50 Mile Bouquet, chronicling the emergent world of seasonal, sustainable and organic cut flowers, with award-winning author, Debra Prinzing. The book, published by St. Lynn’s Press, is due in bookstores April, 2012.
