Meet David West
of Born Imagery
In 2015, after losing my wife to breast cancer, I stepped away from my construction company of over twenty-five years and returned to a longtime passion—photography. What began as a way to heal quickly grew into something more. My background in building and design gave me a natural eye for space, detail, and craftsmanship, and photography became the perfect way to bring all of that forward in a new chapter of my life.
Today, I specialize in architectural photography that helps architects, builders, and designers showcase their work at its very best. With a builder’s perspective and a designer’s appreciation for form and function, I capture the light, character, and intention behind every project. Known for my attention to detail and collaborative style, I make the process easy, enjoyable, and highly interactive—delivering images quickly while ensuring my clients feel fully involved every step of the way.
Most of all, I’m deeply thankful for the design-build community. Every project is a privilege, and I’m grateful for the trust my clients place in me and for the opportunity to celebrate their incredible work through photography.
When the workday winds down, I enjoy spending time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes and cooking for my wife, Kelly. I also have a love for vintage film cameras and spend time refurbishing and collecting them. Both hobbies give me a relaxing way to unwind and enjoy myself outside of photography.
