Hi! I'm Dave Govan, an Outdoor photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. My specialties include birds, wildlife, landscapes, and monochrome (black and white).
*** This is a NEW website as of June 2026 and is under construction - Content will be added frequently so please check back! ***
All images on display here are copyrighted and were edited from one of my original photographs using Adobe Lightroom.
Several additional applications, some with AI components, were utilized to create images in the 'Altered Reality Photos' and the 'Oil Paintings - Images from Photos' galleries.
All images on this site are available as high-resolution prints. Please contact me at dgovanphoto@gmail.com or use the Contact page on this website.
Photography is my passion, allowing me to Opt Outdoors and connect with nature. I strive to create images with artistic detail and emotional impact.
Here are some random facts about me:
• The first ‘real’ camera I used was my Father-in-Law’s Zeiss Ikon.
• I like Halloween (understatement) – We get hundreds of Trick-or-Treaters every year.
• I have a black-and-white French Brittany pup named Ansel.
• I like to cook.
• My bucket list includes visiting (and photographing) all 63 National Parks.
• I use Nikon cameras and lenses.
Thank you for visiting and I hope that you enjoy the journey through my lens!
