About David Diehm: Capturing Stories Through the Lens
I am a Newcastle-based photographer passionate about capturing images that tell a story and connect with my audience. My journey into photography began in 2012 when my late father loaned me his camera for my honeymoon in New Zealand. Spending time in nature, trekking, and exploring comes naturally to me, providing a sense of peace and fulfillment. With a camera in hand, I instantly felt a connection and enjoyed pushing creative boundaries to capture nature’s true beauty.
My early interests in photography were focused on landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife. Over time, influenced by my growing family, I expanded my work to include portraiture.
Exploring and discovering nature is a cornerstone of our young family’s life. It’s how we connect and teach our children about our wonderful planet. In an age of increasing technology use, I believe we must “disconnect” to connect with mother nature. Photography is my way of connecting and expressing the deeper beauty in everything around us. Each image is unique, capturing a fleeting moment in time that can be preserved for people to enjoy, provoke thought, or reflect upon for years to come.
