David Dennis is a professional photographer specialising in capturing places and people. Originally from Belgium, he studied photography and film in Europe before beginning his career in tourism, working as a product manager in the 1990s. That role took him around the world, where he photographed many of the finest hotels and resorts before finally settling in Thailand.

Combining his profession with a love of travel and a background in tourism and hospitality, David has spent the last 20 years based in Bangkok, undertaking assignments across Asia. His work has taken him to destinations in Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Indonesia, and China. Alongside photography, he also provides web-design services and expert consultation to the tourism industry. In recent years, David has developed photography tours to more remote places, including Myanmar's Chin state and the Mergui archipelago. These tours are designed for both beginner and advanced photographers, enabling them to reach stunning locations and viewpoints to capture remarkable images.

His photography has been published widely in online and print media, including TTR Weekly eMag, Myanmore Magazine, Phuket Gazette, thetravelmagazine.net, Expression Magazine, Gisborne Herald New Zealand, HLN Belgium, Primo Magazine, Fah Thai Bangkok Airways inflight Magazine, AirAsia Inflight Magazine, and Thaiger. He has also contributed to major features in TRAVEL + LEISURE magazine (including the Mergui cover story), Bhutan, and GEO, a family of educational monthly magazines similar to National Geographic.
