About David Casteel

I have been a creative professional for more most of my life. My parents recognized my artistic curiosity and gave me a Kodak Hawkeye camera at the age of four. I'll never forget snapping photos of family and neighbors. By ten I had set up a darkroom and was processing my own film and prints. Eventually my hobby blossomed into a career in art and advertising. I opened a commercial photography studio in San Francisco 1n 1992 where I was able to explore my craft while shooting and directing for Apple, Gap and many other Bay Area clients. From there I journeyed to Los Angeles, New York, and eventually Miami. Between projects I make art and am writing a semi-autobiographic book that chronicles my experiences during the Great Recession of 2009.  Learn more about my professional career on LinkedIn
