ABOUT ME
DAVE DONALDSON
PHOTOGRAPHY & FILMMAKER
BASED IN SHETLAND
With over 20 years of experience as a professional photographer and filmmaker, I have developed a diverse portfolio of commercial and editorial projects that showcase the beauty, culture, and economy of the Shetland Islands. I work as the press photographer for The Shetland Times, the island's weekly newspaper, where I document and share the events, stories, and people that shape our community.
I also collaborate with various media outlets and production companies as a camera operator, filming and editing. One of my recent works is the Shetland series, a popular crime drama set and filmed in the island. I am passionate about exploring and capturing different and creative perspectives of life in the Shetland Islands, and I welcome any opportunity to work on new and challenging projects.
