Dave Honor
Willowbrook, IL

Veteran Chicago photographer Dave Honor has been a creative force in the Midwest for over four decades. With a professional career that has spanned photo journalism, advertising and fine art, Dave continues to rediscover his passion for fresh imagery by keeping pace with ever changing technology.

A world traveler on assignments for newspaper and magazine clients, Dave has shot his way through the British Isles to Europe and Northern Africa and back again through the Caribbean and Mexico. His experience landed him at the prestigious Leo Burnett Company through the transitional nineties as the in-house photographer on clients Johnny Walker and Disney among others.

It was at Leo Burnett Company that Dave began working more and more with digital format cameras, and by the middle part of the decade Dave was exploring the freedom that Photoshop and digital files gave him over photo labs and retouchers. By the new millennium, Dave was fully converted, well experienced in the film side of the business but looking forward to the expanding horizons of the coming digital age.

Dave and his wife Elyse are avid equestrians and ride their horses at every chance. As might be expected, a wonderful portfolio has evolved through the years of images captured around horses and horse people.
Additionally, clients such as Hawthorne Race Track have afforded opportunities for action and exciting shots that lend themselves to Dave's unique style of image manipulation.

David's vibrant images are the result of precise action captures combined with evolving digital technologies. Dave Honor is a photographer that continues to grow with his art, while keeping pace with the ever changing world of digital photography and image enhancing software.
