About

Dennis Ray Davis grew up in Modesto, California and spent time every summer of his teenage years photographing Yosemite National Park with his Kodak Brownie camera. At age 19 he was asked to help create a slide show to promote a summer camp in Yosemite, and was loaned a Nikon camera for the shoot. This project confirmed his love affair with photography, and two years later he was able to obtain his own 35mm camera system. He read books on photography at night, and experiment during the day, shooting people, flowers and still life. Three months after getting his first 35mm camera, several of his images were used for a brochure, launching his start in commercial photography.

Mr. Davis opened his first photography studio in Columbus, Georgia in the early '80s. He returned to his native California and started a photography studio in San Diego in the late 1990s, moving it to Los Angeles in 2002 where he has worked since. His celebrity subjects include Will Smith, Steven Spielberg, Rex Lynn and Leonardo DiCaprio. His work has appeared in numerous publications including Weekly Reader, Builder and PC Magazine. Client list includes FedEx, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Sony, Verizon, IBM, Intel and Westinghouse.
