David Evans is an Australian Master of Photography who creates photographs of high fidelity, depth and substance.

A highly awarded photographer, David has won countless titles including the Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year in 2015, and South Australian Professional Photographer of the Year in 2006 and 2009. In 2015, he also received the Ilford Trophy, one of the oldest and most coveted awards in the history of Australian Photography – awarded to the highest scoring photograph overall at the Australian Professional Photography Awards.

David is also a respected photography judge at a national and international level, and is the curator of The Epson International Pano Awards, the world's largest contest for panoramic photography, and the co-curator of The International Landscape Photographer of the Year. He is also the owner of photographic PR agency PhotoPublicity.com, and dabbles in travel writing – having been published several times.

David is also excited to be collaborating with psychologist and photographer Mandy Seligman (wife of renowned psychologist Dr Martin Seligman) to launch SeeingHappy.org, a positive psychology non-profit organisation which seeks to promote photography as a means of self-expression, individual well-being, and building a community with a shared vision of showcasing what makes us happy. David is a founding member of the Board of Trustees of SeeingHappy.org – based in Philadelphia. Upcoming collaborations include contributing to the curriculum of the Master of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and with Karen Guggenheim and the World Happiness Summit in Miami.

As a non-photographic aside, David is also on the Sensory Evaluation and Smoke Evaluation Panels at the Australian Wine Research Institute in Adelaide – that is, a part-time paid wine taster. David would rather have his eyes gouged out with a spoon than ever give up this position.

David's motivation is to remind us that wild, untamed and sublime places are critical elixirs in life – and through travel, nature, art and observation, we find clarity and our true spirit.
