David Humphreys Photography

David Carlysle Humphreys

44 years as a professional image creator. I don't just take photos, I make photos! I am a first adopter and always moving forward. I have been on the cutting edge of my profession for my entire career. I offer Advertising and Commercial Photography, as well as Corporate Portraiture, Fine Art, Fine Art Reproduction, Fine Art Printing, and Photo Restoration. Attention to detail and developing the patience required to make the image come to life is the hidden secret. My years of visualization, and the fact that I developed my abilities during the analog world of photography, help to bring a special edge to the constantly changing world of digital photography. I bring more to the table, and make it a pleasure for everyone to enjoy the "meal"

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

{

Al McDuff

PRINCIPAL/CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT DIANE ALLEN & ASSOCIATES ADVERTISING AND P.R.

David is an accomplished artist and will one day be viewed in the same way Baton Rouge photographers like Fonville who became fine artists as well as photographers

Staffod Kendall

OWNER OF COVALENT LOGIC - ADAPTIVE COMMUNICATIONS: WEB / DESIGN / STRATEGY

It's hard to only choose three attributes of David Humphreys - his work is stellar, he's a delight to work with. The process and product are always divine whenever I get a chance to work with this consummate professional.

Kevin Brown

BUSINESS BUILDER, SALES & MARKETING TEAM DEVELOPMENT/LEADERSHIP, STRATEGIST, STARTUP VETERAN, ADVISOR, DISTRIBUTION PRO

I have had the opportunity to work with David a number of times this year. Besides being an amazing photographer Dave is a great communicator, facilitator and host to his clients. Dave and his team work great in supporting clients who are not artistic and do not have an eye for photography and graphics and can really help a clients rough idea translate into a valuable final product. My company is based in Louisiana but I office in California. David has been great work with while trying to manage a project from 1700 miles away. Daves ability to listen, envision and translate has made it a pleasure to work with him. I would recommend David and his team to anyone needing an amazing photographer and also a gentleman and responsive businessperson. Hi quality artistic output and responsive and timely rarely are used in the same sentence. They are with David Humphreys!

Sandra Lane

DIRECTOR AT THE LANE AGENCY, INC.

David is a multi-talented professional and just an all around nice guy! He always has a smile on his face and jumps right in to help with a project without hesitation. He is detailed, efficient and extremely talented. It is my pleasure to recommend David Humphreys.

Wes Kronninger

PHOTOGRAPHER, EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, CONSULTANT AND SPEAKER

David is a very detail oriented and creative photographer. His attention to the little things are what make his assignments a success. Not only are his technical skills great, he is fun to work with as well. I have learned much from David as a mentor and business partner. If I were a creative director or an art buyer I would trust David with my most important projects.

Mark Mathis

BUSINESS GROWTH STRATEGIST - ONLINE MARKETING EXPERT - ENTREPRENEUR

David is a pleasure to work with, and his easy-going, friendly, and engaging personality makes him the perfect choice for your photography needs. All you have to do is just take one look at some of the awesome work that he's done over the years to know that he's really the ONLY choice when it comes to choosing a photographer for your project. If you're looking for a highly-skilled & professional photographer in the Baton Rouge area, look no further than David.. I HIGHLY recommend David, and look forward to working with him in the future...

Jay Melilli

GRAPHIC DESIGNER AT FREELANCE

David is one of the elite artists of Louisiana whom has set a new standard for excellence within the creative community. His work is featured just about any where you go in Baton Rouge and its no surprise why! David is amazing to work with and one incredible talent!

Mike Denham

PARTNER AT GEAUX BIG REALTY

It's been a while since I ran my own agency/design studio, but my experience with David still stands out in my mind. I hired him to shoot the covers for 2 B2B catalogs I was working on. While I had the concept in my head and partly on paper, David tactfully and professionally worked with me to get the shots that not only conformed to my vision, but surpassed my expectations. The images were absolutely spot-on for what I needed, and the final product made me look like a million bucks. I highly recommend David. He's professional, he's personable, and he knows his craft, even as technology changes which seems like every day.
