In 1999, Dave Simpson founded Simpson Custom Photography, turning his passion for photography into a successful business.
After eight years providing services for on-location photography, Simpson decided to open a studio in the Lanier Technical College’s Manufacturing Development Center section of the Featherbone Center in Gainesville, Georgia. After 4 years in that space Simpson Custom Photography has moved into the historic 301 Washington Street building on the corner of Washington & Maple Streets just off the downtown square behind Saul’s.
This loft-style, upscale studio consists of a large camera room with showroom and adjoining office space.
The studio provides Simpson with facilities to photograph anything from a personal head shot to small products in studio. Simpson uses Hi-Resolution digital capture, professional lighting techniques, and Adobe Photoshop to capture and create the perfect images of you, your company, or your products. Services also include both print-ready and internet-ready images designed to make a great first impression.
Simpson Custom Photography is dedicated to providing each of their customers with the highest quality custom images and exceptional customer service.
Every attempt is made to provide a custom designed image that demonstrates the vision each customer had of themselves or their products. In addition, they promise to provide an expeditious turnaround time while continuing to pay close attention to detail.
Dave Simpson is a 2000 graduate of North Georgia Technical College and Gainesville State College, receiving an Associates Degree in Commercial Photography.
Dave was also the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America’s national winner in the Commercial Photography Skills Contest post-secondary division for 2000.

“One of my favorite things about Dave’s work is that he is able to quickly understand what our goal is and, with his knowledge of lighting and exposure, capture images that really POP for our posters and mailings. Also, the turn around time is incredibly fast, which is a great help since our shoots are rarely far from our print deadlines.”
