David Kingham is a professional nature photographer who has been traveling full-time across the American West with his partner, photographer Jennifer Renwick, since 2014. What began as a search for purpose and healing has evolved into a life devoted to creativity, connection, and helping others see the world—and themselves—more deeply through photography.

Together, David and Jennifer lead photography workshops through Exploring Exposure, where they teach photographers to slow down, engage deeply with the landscape, and create work that reflects personal meaning rather than imitation. Their workshops are built on the belief that nature photography is not just about seeing beauty, but about feeling it.

Beyond the field, David has developed the Rethink Landscape Toolkit—a modular system of Lightroom and Camera Raw presets that guides photographers through a structured, intuitive editing process. It’s designed to help photographers move beyond one-click edits and toward expressive, intentional processing that matches their vision.

David and Jennifer are also the new directors of the Moab Photography Symposium, a long-running gathering of photographers dedicated to creative growth, authenticity, and community. The symposium continues the legacy of its founder, Bruce Hucko, while evolving to meet the needs of today’s artists seeking a deeper “why” behind their work.

David and Jennifer are also the owners of the Nature Photographers Network, an online community focused on the art and craft of nature photography through meaningful critique and creative dialogue. They also helped co-found the Nature First Photography movement, promoting responsible practices to protect the wild places that inspire us.

At the heart of David’s work is a quiet conversation between his inner world and the landscape. Having faced loss, trauma, and deep personal transformation, he uses photography as a way to express emotion that words often fail to capture. His images are less about documenting what’s there and more about revealing what’s felt—moments of stillness, fragility, and light that speak to the resilience of the human spirit.

Though David and Jennifer continue to travel full-time, they plan to eventually settle in Ridgway, Colorado—the place where they met and still feel most at home. Until then, they’ll keep exploring the spaces between solitude and connection, helping others find their own voice through the lens.
