About
David Marsh - Kauai based photographer
Aloha. I’m David Marsh, photographer, videographer, director, editor, and author—phew! Among many other career aspects, I ran one of the world’s pioneer digital production studios (Digital Post) in Los Angeles, taught film students at USC non-linear editing on George’s Lucas’ Edit Droid NLE, spent a decade in the car business, directed local car commercials, and became a stills photographer in 2005...oh, also I’m a pretty good cook. Between my professional photographer in Kauai and videography gigs, I write novels. I’ve been living full time on the island since 2010.
If you see me out on the beach with my camera and want to hire me, search English photographer Kauai. For sure Sunsets at the Beach will show up. Not saying I'll always be available, as I divide my creativity between photography and writing. See how I get stunning images, my editing workflow - David's Style and see more of David the author.

My Photography art
Here are a few things about me and my photography art, in no particular order.
- I love bringing kids out of their shell and getting them to shine in a photo session.
- I'm a stickler for backlight.
- A photo that tells a story is my kind of photo.
- Editing is the icing on the cake.
- Hotspots are not always bad.
- Flat feet create flat photos, so point those toes, or cross your ankles, or dig your feet in, and if all fails, kick!

Photographer / author
My first book, a sci-fi fantasy novel for young adults, was published in 2004 and sold, well, a piddly amount of hardback copies although it did garner some complimentary reviews.
Amazon still sells it:
I have 4 novels that will be published, either by a publishing house or self-published. TBD but not before late this year or early 2027. The first is "A Peculiar Form Of Light." After hearing a persistent voice in her mind. fourteen-year-old Aubrey thought she was going crazy. But Aubrey is far from going crazy. She's the first clear telepath ever...only she's not communicating with a human being but an ancient creature far more intelligent than Man who wants to be heard...and maybe seen.
