David
Cavagnaro Photography I maintain and market a home file of 50,000 stock photos which is heavily used by most nature and horticultural book , magazine, and calendar publishers. My background in the natural sciences has earned me a reputation for accurate captioning and the free sharing of biological and horticultural information. Editors contacting me with requests and want lists by phone, fax, or e-mail will receive prompt delivery. I do occasional assignment work but prefer book and magazine projects I can plan, plant and photograph in my own three acres of home flower and vegetable gardens. In addition to my own file, my work is represented by the following agencies: U.S.: DRK Photo, Peter Arnold, Visuals Unlimited, Natural Selection England: Garden Picture Library (hort material only) Italy: Grazia Neri, Panda France: Sunset Japan: Pacific Press Services |

I maintain a constantly expanding file of garden scenics, midrange shots, species and cultivar portraits, harvest photos, and gardening processes. Specialties include accurately identified cultivars, heirloom flowers and vegetables, harvest collages, poetic close-ups. Vegetables: Extensive coverage of vegetable gardens, edible
landscapes, and cultivars across the full range of vegetable crops. Heirloom vegetables and flowers: During eight years as garden manager at the Seed Savers Exchange I grew l5,000 heirloom vegetable varieties and have the definitive collection of photos of old varieties. Working with Select Seeds, I have a similar collection of heirloom flowers. Vegetable harvest and collage photos: Highly colorful and often published tapestries. Edible flowers: Plant portraits, harvest shots, and fancy dishes made with edible flowers.
Perennials: Comprehensive file of both popular and scarce perennials, especially from California and the northeastern US, smaller amount of SW and subtropical material. Annuals: Nearly all genera and many cultivars of common and less common garden annuals. Trees, shrubs, and vines: Strong on details and weaker on
full-plant portraits, this is a growing part of the file. Major contributions
to Audubon Field Guides to Trees provided lots of leaf and bark details. Bulbs: Some hardy bulb material, extensive collection of container and garden grown summer bulb plants. Natives: Strong coverage of native plants and wildflowers used in horticulture. Garden processes: growing file of process-oriented photos such as pruning, planting, transplanting, dividing, root cellars, coldframes, etc. Garden pests and weeds: Good weed coverage, some insects, fungi, and other garden problems. Children and adults in gardens: Many photos have children or adults interacting in gardens. |
