About David Lloyd
About David Lloyd
Early Years
David was the unlikely creative. Growing up, he never thought of himself that way. His interests leaned toward technology, people and numbers. He pursued cultural studies, then built a career in hospitality, running everything from city pubs to boutique bottle shops. His love of wine led him to train as a sommelier, and his love of business to complete an MBA.
By 2018, Steph’s art had grown too big for one person to manage. Tired of antisocial hospitality hours, David joined the business. He built a website, secured wholesale partners and trained in fine-art printing.
Big Changes
Photography began as a way to capture Steph’s work, but soon grew into something more. Fascinated by the technical craft, David immersed himself in study and practice. When he bought an underwater housing for his camera, a new world opened up beneath the reef. A drone soon followed, giving him a fresh perspective above the rainforest canopy.
With time and persistence, he has developed into a skilled photographer in his own right.
His photography has been published in magazines and editorials locally and afar, his commercial work can be spotted on billboards up and down the coast and he was recently short-listed for Underwater Photographer of the year.
Where we are now
Mostly, his work sits alongside Steph’s paintings at SEA Gallery, offering visitors two perspectives on the same coastline and a shared love for the place they now call home with their young family and golden retriever, Charlie.
