Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to David Emenheiser. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

David, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

8 1/2 years ago I made the decision to conquer a 20 year long meth/heroin addiction. I checked myself into the Ventura county rescue mission, I was very lost and broken , and my time there God began to heal all the broken parts of me. When I got out of the mission I would go on these drives with just my camera phone at the time, but it was such a sense of peace and serenity that I eventually picked up a camera. From there David Joseph Photo was born. I started my journey with just shooting landscapes but as my skills got better I began getting noticed by NBC La and they began featuring my work often. Today I shoot such a wide variety of stuff from portraits to Aviation as well as landscapes. God turned what was intended as a therapy for me to so much more

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?

My name Is David Emenheiser and I’m a photographer from Southern California. I started David Joseph Photo in 2018 after being encouraged by my wife to share my work. I spent many years just lost in life, never really knowing what my purpose was in this world. Photography has given me that purpose and an outlet to express myself in a creative way. And I have been blessed to share this God given gift with the world

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being creative?

The most rewarding thing for me is being able to freeze moments in time that truly show the beauty of this world. There is so much darkness in this world these days it’s amazing to show and remind people that this world is beautiful.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Be consistent. I shoot such a wide variety of stuff I make sure to engage with social media daily. It has allowed me to get business and notoriety quicker
