March 11th, Presentation: “A Photojournalistic Approach to Assignment-based Documentary & Event Photography” by Dave Dostie MBA, MSB, MSHR

Dave is a self-taught Maine-based photographer balancing full-time commitments to careers in photography and government finance. While he enjoys capturing dynamic landscapes, his primary focus and work is on documentary and event photography using a photojournalistic approach and style. His images have received numerous awards and been published widely. His passion for telling stories through photographs is what he finds to be most rewarding. Regardless of the subject, Dave’s main objective is to accurately and authentically capture and document moments in time. He believes that emotion is what connects a viewer to an image and is the main driver for his compositions. For 10 years now, Dave’s been a contributing photographer for Maine Magazine, Maine Home+Design Magazine, DownEast Magazine, MaineHomes by DownEast, Islandport Magazine, and a number of press outlets across the country. To date, he’s successfully photographed over 1,400 assignments and events with that number continuing to climb almost daily.
