The athlete in me?

Worldwide superstar amazes crowds as he tops the competition on the water daily, and at his age!

Dave Hein, world renound for his photographic work in the alpine and marine environments is the worlds superstar when it comes to capturing the excitement, emotion and thrill of sports for everyone to enjoy. And doing all of this at more than twice the age of the average athlete appearing in his photographs. "Shooting sailing is one of the most difficult assignments a photographer can have." states Hein; "having to shoot moving yachts from a boat that is constantly moving itself with the motion of the sea limits the people that can even consider shooting the sport professionally."

Dave Hein spends considerable time on the water, shooting at least one major regatta per month, with nearly every weekend at an event in the summer season. His career as a photographer started in his teen years, shooting school projects and as photo editor of his high school yearbook.

Today Dave's images hang in the homes and offices of sailors and enthusiasts worldwide. As he continues his upwards rise in notoriety, his travel to events grows. He can be seen worldwide shooting sailing and some of his shots can be seen online at http://www.optisailing.com.
