Hi, I’m David!

I’m a first-generation American photographer, born in Orlando, FL to a Colombian immigrant father and an American mother.

I’m an Orlando-based portrait photographer focused on creating space for individuals to find and celebrate their most authentic selves.

I work with individuals and companies from all areas of life.

Some of my favorite clients have been The New York Times, Variety Magazine, Advent Health, Rollins College, Creative City Project, and the Orlando Magic. I even had an 8-month-long installation at The Orlando Museum of Art.

Need portraits for yourself, your business, a campaign or an installation?

Have another crazy idea or just want to say hi?

I can help. Fill out the info below with more about yourself and your needs. I will do my best to get back to you ASAP.

Emily

“Chief Support Officer”

Part professional marketer, part on-site production assistant, and full-time partner-in-creative-chaos. As Chief Support Officer, Emily provides the digital backup David needs to keep his vision moving forward. Whether she’s fine-tuning a virtual gallery or posing with a traffic cone for the sake of art, she is the data-obsessed, strategically-inclined "plus-one" behind-the-scenes at David Lawrence Photography.

Genevieve

“Director of Quality Control”

Genevieve is the watchful gargoyle of the home office, maintaining a standard of excellence that borders on the terrifying. With the eye of an eagle and the strike of a lightning bolt, she monitors all production for signs of sub-par effort—or sudden, unauthorized movement. Specializing in "Intrusive Cabinet Inspections," Genevieve ensures that no door is left un-investigated and no desk remains un-guarded. She works with a level of fervor that keeps the entire team on their toes (mostly to avoid being pounced on).
