David Dominic
Ann Arbor Area

David Dominic, Jr is a Detroit based photographer/videographer who has traveled the world and been shaped by a variety of experiences in his 39 years of life. As an engineering graduate from the University of Michigan, he brings attention to detail and technical mastery to his work. With fourteen years of project planning and program management in the high pressure field of automotive engineering, David can bring in a quality product on time and on budget. But it takes more than technical skill and planning to make a great photograph. It takes life-shaping experiences for one to be able to step back and observe situations with a different eye. Chess champion, rodeo champion, motor sports racer, musician, writer, camper, climber, adventure racer, husband, and father. All of these things have shaped his life and molded his eye. Whether David is photographing models or children, food and drink, foreign landscapes, or is on the road with a band, he brings honesty, reliability, and creativity to his photographic work. His motion picture work includes documentaries, music videos, and commercial work, where he not only creates the imagery but also directs and produces the shoots. David is also a member of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians which helps to bring a unique cultural perspective to his work that most creatives in his field do not possess. In addition to his imaging work, David is currently pursuing his teaching degree at the University of Michigan so that he can pass on to other generations his knowledge and experience.

The simplicity represented in my drawings interrupts a busy world in motion. I feel an instinct to capture thoughts, moments in time, situations and scenes and put them on paper. I most often use permanent marker and watercolor to describe what I see. If my camera is available, I will take a picture and capture the moment more clearly. Hand blown glass, bead jewelry and metal works are other artistic endeavors I've explored. Wherever I go, I document my travels and adventures through writing, and sometimes I make music videos to capture the journey.

I consult on a range of topics in art, literacy, and math education, arts and education administration, and nonprofit board development. My relevant experience includes the following: After college, I co-founded Film in the Cities (FITC) and led it from being a storefront, film-education program serving inner-city youth in St. Paul and Minneapolis to becoming the largest media arts center in the U.S. serving artists, students, and educators in a five-state region. The National Endowment for the Arts called FITC a “national leader in media arts education” and “the flagship of the media arts field.” Following mid-career Master’s and Ph.D studies, I facilitated development of a North American studies center at a Polish university, designed online training for piano teachers, and led development of and teacher training in a preschool math curriculum for an educational research foundation. I have extensive experience researching literacy education and coaching teachers in first-grade literacy and math education. I have designed software for teaching expository literacy in primary school. I currently serve on the board of directors and board-development committee of 826michigan, a nonprofit, youth-literacy support organization.
