WATERSUN PHOTOGRAPHY PROFILE

David Watersun specializes in producing dramatic Hawaiian photography. Watersun Photography has operated from Maui for twenty years to create advertising, corporate, and editorial photography. Hawaii has become the focus of Watersun's work, where the island lifestyle offers unique opportunities to photograph its diverse people, places, and events. David's location, activity, and cultural photographs of Hawaii’s heritage and environment appear in print and electronic media for client projects.

After receiving academic degrees from Occidental College and Brooks Institute of Photography, David Watersun opened his Seattle studio to produce corporate photography for major clients such as Microsoft, Boeing, and Transamerica. Watersun was commissioned by Canon Photography to photograph the America's Cup yachting competition in Australia, which led to an international odyssey stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Great Barrier Reef. David arrived in Hawaii to market his photographic library of travel, scenic, and lifestyle images to an exemplary group of media producers, visual providers, and professional designers.

David Watersun embarked on a seven-month, 30,000 mile journey across the United States to produce a pictorial book, The Victorian Express, about Victorian architecture. This national bestseller generated a series of American images available for licensing by editors, art directors, and photo buyers. Watersun produced all of the architectural photography for Under A Maui Roof by The American Institute of Architects, which features Maui's eclectic structures. This anthology presents over one-hundred island resorts, homes, churches, civic, and cultural buildings. David was the principal photographer for Kapalua Nui: Place Of Life, a book which depicts the nature, culture, and lifestyle of Kapalua Resort.

David Watersun accepts location and studio assignments to create a diversity of island photography for publications, internet, and promotional media.
