It started with a Pentax K1000 that his dad gave him on his 15th birthday. At the time, little did David McClure know that photography went back several generations in his family. In high school, David enrolled in a photography class where he shot yearbook photos and was an assistant manager at a camera shop. David soon moved from California to Oregon to pusue his love of photography and snowboarding. Within 5 years of his move, he enlisted in the Army where he was stationed in Europe. In Germany is where he finally decided to go to the distinguished Brooks Institute to pursue his dream of a degree in photography. David would be the first in his family to obtain a photography degree.

David chose Brooks while he was still in Oregon working for a photographer who's competition came from all Brooks students. Research finally revealed that Brooks not only provided the best in photographic education but a degree from there was held at the utmost esteem in the industry.

As a 2007 graduate from Brooks Institute, David has moved on to pursue his career and has been very successful. He has gone on to work for prominent clients and had his photos appear in NBC Championship Off-Road Racing DVDs, Dirt Sports Magazine, and David also was contracted to shoot as CORR Photographer for the 2008 season.

David has also done action photography for AMSOIL 2008 Racing Team members Ricky Johnson, a legend of AMA Motocross and Supercross, and Jeremy McGrath, 7-time Supercross Champion. Team Hart and Huntington contracted him for the season to cover Freestyle Motocross legend Cary Hart. NOS Energy Drink tabbed him to photograph Speed Channel TV Host and NO LIMIT Motorcycle Stunt Man Jason Britton. Among other recent projects he's completed were shoots of Pro Snowboarder Tara Dakides and 10-time ESPN X GAMES Freestyle Motocross Medalist Brian Deegan.

"The valuable tools I received at Brooks are reflected in recent publishing’s where my photos appear in ESPN the Magazine, Dirt Sports, Off Road, 2 Wheel Tuner, Dusty Times, and The Off Road Advertiser magazines. My advice to current students or Alumni is this: stay focused on your goals, work hard to make your dreams a reality, and use networking and relationships as keys to open doors of opportunities. Beyond this, stay creative and never stop asking questions." - David McClure

David's work will be featured in a new HD space/time continuum format film (aka Super Slow Motion) as seen in "300," "Matrix" and Special episodes of the Discovery Channel. The video will be produced by Blurred Motion Pictures. His video premier will be shown at the final CORR race in Chula Vista and the Oakley Factory in Orange County next month.
