David Carr

MPA Instructor/PPA Magazine Cover Recipient 

David was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. Right out of high school he found himself in a blossoming music career drumming for the band Third Day. For the next 24 years he toured the world, earned four Grammy awards, and enjoyed so many amazing experiences. David also met so many incredible people along the way! Interestingly, he has always been more of a visual artist than a musical one, so when he decided to really learn photography, it quickly became apparent to him that it would be his next career step.

Since buying his first ‘real’ camera and quickly diving into the technical and aesthetic aspects of the medium, David has watched – year after year – his love and obsession with photography grow by leaps and bounds. David made the switch to a full-time photographer at the end of 2016 and is loving it!

He enjoys working with people and though he has mainly specialized in portraiture for the bulk of his photography career, he just simply loves a great image -be it a landscape, a fine art image, or an editorial piece, etc.

“I am ecstatic about the opportunity to work with McKay Photography Academy. It is with much humility that I enter the ranks of such a wonderful group of photographers and people. Having traveled as much as I did for so many years in music, the bug to roam is still there and likely will be for the rest of my life. This is an opportunity that I could’ve only dreamed of prior to now!” – David
