Dave Crago is one of the top Real estate, marine and lifestyle photographers based in Orlando Florida. While his specialty remains yacht or marine photography, Dave has used the techniques and skills refined in this niche to achieve success in the demanding world of residential and commercial real estate photography. The tricks to lighting a confined space of a yacht interior are easily transferable to the large environment of a home or business. The unique hours of dusk and dawn, or what Dave likes to call the “Sweet Light” when yachts, real estate exteriors and interiors are the most pleasant to photograph, are a Crago specialty. Over the years, he has become one of the best real estate and marine photographers in the Southeast and Caribbean. Models also work well with his relaxed style, making for creative and effective lifestyle photography.
He has devoted his life to learning about and recording dramatic images of the natural world and our interactions with it. He has worked in a wide range of remote areas that include South America, Southwest Asia and Alaska as well as the lush landscape and waterways of the South Eastern United States. He also spent years in front of the camera as a SAG Actor and Stuntman and knows what it takes to get the shot right the first time.
Dave is as comfortable in a wetsuit shooting a boat at water level as he is in body armor photographing from a helicopter in Afghanistan or in a shirt and tie shooting a CEO’s portrait. He is well known for his extensive image library of Afghanistan, from a totally new and unique perspective of the People, Architecture, Landscape and recent history inside Afghanistan.

"Learn your craft. Learn your equipment. Learn how to technically do what you do very well and then develop a style before you go out and really try to do something."
