Instructor: Dave Nitsche
 Dave Nitsche picked up a camera 20 years ago, but his first journey into photography only lasted a mere 6 months. He consistently had a creative outlet for his thoughts and emotions, having always been involved in the arts as a guitarist, graphic designer, and web developer. But, eventually career changes and life put him in a place where he had never been before. Eighteen years after he had sold his Canon A1 he decided to try photography once again. In 2002, he bought his first digital camera. Dave’s engaging creativity and memorable photos have not stopped since. Dave's goal from the very beginning was to merge human emotion into non-human environments using what ever 'stuffs' (mannequins, glass, guns, fire, etc.) necessary. During that process he strived to be as original as possible. His images are steeped in expressionism, color, and contrast, but cover a wonderful variety of categories that it becomes hard to place them in just one. His work has been admired and praised by critics, photographers, artists and the public in general, via various shows, publications and galleries, for their ability to conjure feelings in people that are very deep, very personal, and usually reserved for living things.
The scope of Dave's work does not stop at conceptualism or expressionism. He is a fan of all types of imagery and is quite fond of moving from style to style. His website includes all forms of innovative imagery for you to view. Enjoy his images and his vision as much as he does. Dave’s colorful and inspiring photography may be viewed at http://www.davenitsche.com.
