David Ballam was born and schooled in South Africa. He was introduced to the camera by Obie Oberholzer and in 2004 obtained his Fine Arts Degree with honors in photography. After a number of years in the commercial world of photography he reverted his attention back to his Fine Arts roots, intrigued and inspired by new faces, places, cultures and customs. David focuses his attention on taking any opportunity to travel and explore the African landscape, finding and creating images that transcend the subject matter into Fine Art prints.
