David Shelby Photography

Oh, Sara..

What a beautiful model. There is something pure and warm about her. She seems to exude a delightful mix of innocence and connubial domesticity.

Great job on this model. I like the simple posing and enveloping background.

Thanks for the pat on the back with my first attempt. Now I guess I have to get better to truly earn the 6's you gave me! I like your outdoor photos, just took a quick glance at them but I'll be back to look again. Feel free to comment on any of my stuff. Thanks again.

I like your way to capture feminine beauty a lot! It's very sensual, natural, still leaves free room to imagination. Great inspiring work! Cheers. Sacha ;-)

compliment!

Exeptional portfolio and stunning figure studies. I hope one day to achieve as much.

Thank you! Ilike your models and your photos very much!

The women and spirit of the West. You know how to shoot. All albums are very fine. Regards J O

I loved some of the "wonderland" folder, and your figure studies and abstracts are top notch. Great work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Take my compliments,nice and strong portfolio....

I LOVE your job!

See, there are a lot of nudes here on PN, but none are so natural, simple yet beautiful like yours. As usual, with your talent, you make it really look real, not fake (like in other portfolios). Most of your photos convey a strong message, they make me think, they make me have strong feelings, such as love, hate, lonelyness, joy, sadness, they convey LIFE. Pure poetry for the mind and pure pleasure for my eyes. Sincerely yours, Sacha :)

This is wonderful work, not only is is pleasing to look at, but inspires me to think. Your models are amazing, their beauty is so average, yet you amplify it. Thank you

this is the sort of portfolio i would love to create one day. I love each and every picture. Regards Ryan.

What an exceptional portfolio David! I'm so inspired and impressed with your work! I'll be watching for more of you and your lovelies!

CONGRATULATION FOR NUDE SHOT. GOOD WORK AND VERY NICE SHOT.

Nice work ... keep it up ! would like u to see my portfolio and give ur professional comments .. Have a nice day !

Just great work. Thanks for sharing.

Love your B&W portraits, great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Hello David! Thanks for comment on my picture of Russell Crowe! I was really lucky to get near him, but he is such a nice lad! I actually did not do any post production in photoshop, that picture is completely unimanipulated, because I didn't even adjust levels or colours or anything. I am still not very good in post editing, but my husband who knows a bit more of photoshop is teaching some stuff, so I think I might try something on the shot later. You are a amazing photographer! I was really impressed by your pictures! Thank you for taking the time and commenting on mine. :)

David I just saw your portfolio and was bowled over. excelent with such a variety of themes. The portraits are fantastic as our the landscapes. they are a great inspiration for me and others

Nice fish

I couldn't agree with you more. You have a beautiful portfolio. God bless.

If youre ever in south florida, I see you like to fish. Drop me a line and I put you on permit, bonefish, tarpon, lemon shark, jacks, etc. Nice pictures. Respect.

You, my man, are a TRUE MASTER. Your painting with light is truly amazing. One consistent thread runs through your landscapes to your portraits, the total manipulation of light to create mood and space. Your portfolio is a true inspiration. I will return from time to time to borrow/steal your ideas. Accept this compliment from a true fan. Emmanuel.

You are a great master of your style, love each and every image in your gallery, David!! Regards!

Thank you for your comment..you have a stunning collection of work!

terrific portfolio. congrats.

Just a wonderful journey through your portfolio. Thankyou for your kind words recently. Regards Clive

Wonderful photos

Some Of The Best Work On The Net.!

What a superb collection of images! I have been here several times now, and each visit finds me spending 15 or 20 minutes browsing about and enjoying places I've been, and places that I want go, and seeing sights that are just wonderful or poignant; but what makes it all work, is that each image is seen through your eye and captured via your excellent skills. Thanks for the visual journeys and experiences. Keep up the great work! Cheers! Chris

I love your pictures - I will take time to watch them all in peace... Cheers Eva

Thank you for stopping by my Utah (Arches) photos. Every now and then I think of you and Sarah, the woman who brought me to you ;-) I think I still have her in my highest rated folder!

Back to photography! Yes, I like the light you had in Moab. That place is just amazing!

Cheers, Sacha

Excellent landscapes then I came across the brilliant wildlife followed by the models - better and better. I shall visit again. Regards

Thank you very much for you kind words on my portfolio. I first had a look at "Mr. Moose" and really liked it. But when I saw the 'Blend in', WOW. This one is a GREAT picture, best viewed in the larger size. You do have very beautiful pictures in a variety of category. I have added you to my 'Interesting' list. I'll be back.

Great portfolio with a wide and interesting variety of subjects! Good Job!

Stopped in to say thanks for the comment, and WOW! You have some really amazing imagery in your port.What size lens do you use for those bear shots, it looks uncomfortably close.

David, I scrolled through your extensive portfolio - all of it - and I kept seeing images I wanted to comment on. And I did pick some, just not all, since I have to get moving on the day. You have such a knack for picking the kind of subjects that evoke feelings in me. It was a pleasure to be here. Regards, liz

beautiful

Nice diverse portfolio you have, well done. In regards to the fox picture you have commented on in my portfolio, its just patience of waiting and pre planning the image. Take care.

David,

I was drawn to your portfolio by your structures folder. I have been browsing and studying for some time tonight, very beautiful work, both with your portraits, animals, and especially the landscapes. Your use of light is outstanding. I plan to return again for more.

Best regards, Tammy

Hi David. you are a gifted photographer. Best wishes, Lawrence

Una galeria sensacional,con unos trabajos y ediciones excelentes en todas las categorias.Destacaria el apartado de retratos y b&w.Mi mas sincera enhorabuena.

Un cordial saludo Tolo Duran.

Your Arches Collection is just: Wow... Cheers Alex

David, I can't believe how much we both share so much diversity in our imagery. You seem to have the same sort of priorities for subject matter that I have. I am extremely fond of your portraits and imagery of solo women. I think you show a sensibility that is absent in many mens' photographic work. The most difficult thing for a man is to earnestly understand and see is the elemental woman. There is too much interference between us, our preconceptions, stereotypes, and our basic primal masculinity and sexuality (assuming heterosexuality). I am always astounded at the apparent ease with which women seem to create such natural art and imagery of other women. I think you have captured some of this sensibility as well. I always reference the work of Haleh Bryan as an example of a classic yet "new age" imager. I find pure revelation in her work and the work of many womens photographers as they turn the lens on themselves and those that they have chosen to surround themselves with. Thoroughly enjoying your portfolio in this light as well.

great, well done variety of photos.

...and interesting portfolio ! Regards!

If you have the time and interested? Many of the images posted in this Folder Portfolio should be viewed in the large format! My time spent stalking the different wildlife getting the beautiful color enhanced by the sunlight was worth the effort captured.( I hope you agree?) I have a HPw2207 monitor which is 22" wide by 14" in height. Calibrated with Spiderware ounce a month, this keeps the color true from camera to the C.P. to the printer and photos posted on P.N.. Regards, David S.

David, beautiful portfolio! The wildlife pictures are outstanding. Very inspirational.

I want to thank you so very much for your very generous ratings. I looked at your portfolio also and it is full of life and color. Your talent is outstanding in photography. Thank you so much for sharing with us at PN. Have a wonderful life.

Hi,

Some really interesting nudes, keep up the good work.

Very interesting portfolio and nice colors, congratulations !

You are a true master

It seems you are a countryman who love landscape and wilderness and time to time visiting urban life anfd it's inhibitant as it shows in your portfolio. I like it.
Good luck with future recoding of observations in our Mother Earth.

David, You dropped by my portfolio and left a nice comment a little over a year ago. I didn't purposely ignore you...instead, it was about that time that I was having some health problems and left the site until this past week. I appreciate your kind words and look forward to browsing through your portfolio! Best regards, John

hi David.. a great portfolio.. your wildlife shots are really wonderful! greetings from italy
