David Frey (Photographer): As a NJ native growing up in a working class environment, David didn't discover photography until he was in his mid-thirties.

David has done professional work for CCBC, Novo Interiors, and Goucher College, as well as numerous professional headshots for individuals and event shooting. David is new to the Baltimore area but has taken to his new home comfortably. He hopes to remain an active member of the area's rich artistic community
