A series of mouse clicks led me to Dave Hill’s photography website and I was instantly engaged to say the least. He grew up in San Diego and his “thing” is making digital composites and shooting in black and white. Curiosity took over. Wanting to find out more about him, I put his name in Google and found out that he was quite popular. His distinct style is referred to as the “Dave Hill Look” and there were many tutorials claiming to have achieved this effect. In my opinion, none that I’d found had really come close, except for this one. Photography purists may find fault with his digital alterations, but I think he transforms his photos into special pieces of art. Besides, he had to have a great photograph to start off. What else did I find out about Dave Hill? Well, he’s a commercial photographer that takes pictures of “cool people doing cool things.”
