David Manning Photographers Bloggin bio picture

Welcome to dmp bloggin!

I'm a big believer in living life to it's fullest and for the most part, you'll find a smile on my face!  That's the short story about me.  The long story includes a passion for photography, playing my guitar, surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, hockey, mountain biking, skydiving and more!

I like good coffee in the morning, and good wine at night.  Cooking combines three of my favorite things, creativity, food, and friends. So you can often times find me in the kitchen making an Italian family recipe.  You're welcome at my house anytime!  Just bring a smile, an appetite, and if you want to score big points, a bottle of red wine!  (Oh, and don't be afraid to have your picture taken.  If you're here, it's bound to happen!)

All of these activities are amazing, but they would not be nearly as fun or possible at all if it weren't for God, my family, and my friends.  These three are the most important to me, and I cannot thank them enough for supporting me on this amazing journey!

GETTIN' FASHIONABLE :: MEGAN PART 1

01.21.2010 Posted in Portraits

Fashion photography is one of my favorites to shoot because you can really go out there with lighting, wardrobe, makeup, and color design!  In December, I shot with Megan in La Jolla, Del Mar, and Downtown San Diego during a weekend that returned a large number of images.  Megan did an incredible job modeling so  I have a bunch to share, but couldn’t cut it down to just one post, so be prepared for multiple posts!  I’ll try to keep the chatter to a minimum and let the images do most of the talking.  Enjoy!





I really don’t like to shoot in a studio unless a job absolutely calls for it, and the next three images are the reason why!  The location for these three is a spot that, 9 out of 10 times, you would walk right past.  That’s what makes it so much fun though! (nope, I’m not telling where ;)

This is one of my favorite images from the day!  I added some light because of where we were tucked away at, and it came out exactly how I saw it in my head!


Love this shot too ;)  Okay okay, THIS is my favorite shot from the day!

This picture is why Megan gets the nickname “Dark & Scary”!

I don’t know how she’s balancing like that either…


Check back for more in the next few days!
