DAVID J. LABELLA

Essex, CT

Being a self-taught photographer with no formal training would seem to be a distinct disadvantage in as competitive a field as landscape photography. While it is true that it is difficult to find an outlet or market for images without the advantage of a focused education dedicated to an artistic career, it is by no means a disqualification or a nullification of the desire to create and exhibit work that is authentic in its expression of a passion for the subject and for the medium.

Dave LaBella is a professional photographer living in Connecticut and working, when time allows, throughout the United States on the landscapes that suit him best. Having grown up in the heavily populated and densely wooded Northeast made it necessary to become sensitive to more subtle and smaller scale landscapes; creating a style that applies well both to subjects close to home and to the more imposing locations out West.
