About David
David Duhl is a nature photographer who has made Nashville his home since 1980. With more than 30 years of photographic experience, David has led photo workshops and tours, taught nature photography at Nashville State Community College and at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. David’s work has appeared in numerous magazines, books, posters, calendars, commercial exhibits, state park brochures, and online communications, and his images have been used as fine art prints for home and office. David was a photography editor and a photo contributor to the popular book “Wildflowers of Tennessee, the Ohio Valley, and the Southern Appalachians,” and co-author with John Netherton of the book “Guide to Photography and the Smoky Mountains.”
David’s education as a biologist informs his interest in the natural world. David has photographed in national parks across the country and at the same time discovered the beauty in his adopted state. David has photographed native plants extensively, and his personal project emphasizes rare and endemic plants of the cedar glades in central Tennessee. This work has resulted in an ongoing partnership with the Center for Cedar Glades Studies, and the two have partnered on a set of note cards and a poster of endemic plants of the glades.
