Born in Maine and raised in Jacksonville, Oregon, Dave Schwep began his photography career at the age of 19 on the ski slopes of Big Sky Montana. He then worked a 6-month commercial fishing venture in Alaska, traveled across country, and landed in South Beach, Miami where he shot fashion and glamour photography. In 1999 Schwep moved to Hollywood and pursued a full-time career as a professional photographer. He made his way through head shot, editorial, fashion, and event photography using film until the development of digital photography. In digital photography, Schwep discovered his own unique process of creating signature art by using thousands of stills to create video. The result is an illusion of motion from a rapid succession of static pictures, Dreamsequences, his company.
