Photographed by Dave Emilio? Find Your Photos Here

When I use the camera, I often feel like I know part of the people or places I come in contact with.
– Christophe Agou

Maybe we crossed paths at an event, on the street, or during one of my photo walks—and I had the chance to capture a candid moment. If so, this is where you’ll likely find your photo.

Feel free to scroll through and look for your image. You’re welcome to download a low-resolution copy for free (just right-click and save). If you’d like a full-resolution digital file with full usage rights, I offer that for $50. If there are multiple images you’d like, I’m happy to offer a discounted bundle rate. I can also help you get a professional print made and shipped, framed or unframed.

To get in touch, email me at daveemiliophotos [at] gmail [dot] com (just remove the brackets and spaces). Let me know which photo you’re referring to and what you’d like to do with it. I’m easy to work with and happy to answer any questions.

This gallery exists both as a way to share my work and to give you access to your images. That said, your comfort matters—if you’d prefer that an image be removed, just send me a message and I’ll take it down, no questions asked.

Thanks again for being part of this creative process. Whether it was a quick moment on a busy street or a quiet one at a local event, I’m grateful you were open to being photographed. I hope the image we made captures something you like—and I’d love to hear from you if you want to collaborate, get a copy, or just say hi.
