David Heiss received his bachelor’s degree in English and Writing from the University of Redlands. He is a past reporter for the Redlands Daily Facts, and former writer and editor for the Record Gazette and Redlands Community News.

I attended Brooks Institute of Photography, where I developed a love for photojournalism and learned the craft from brilliant minds. I then returned to my hometown and continued my photography at CSUSB, learning the classical art style and becoming the school newspaper's head photographer.  After I left CSUSB, I continued contributing to the paper.

I was then privileged to travel and see more of the world, including my favorite location, Antarctica, where I was challenged to think about how I photograph and see the natural world through a camera.

Today, I continue to pursue my love of photography and press myself on concepts and projects I can learn from in an Anthropological way. In doing so, I have been showing my work worldwide in numerous magazines, including National Geographic and Digital Photographer. Right now, I am a freelance photographer for local papers and publications.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
