David J. West is an award winning landscape photographer with a gallery located just outside of Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. His dynamic style creates a story in each photograph transporting his audience to experience nature firsthand. When visiting Zion Canyon stop by the David J. West Gallery and be inspired by David’s photography. David leads landscape photography workshops into Zion National Park year-round. The gallery carries a line of David’s favorite Click Elite Gear for the visitor to check out while visiting Zion Canyon.
David says: “If there is such a thing as a Photo Backpack Design God, He works at Clik Elite!” In his opinion, “Clik Elite makes the highest quality Photo Backpacks and Chest Packs on the market. Their instinctive designs make them easy to use, and it’s nice knowing that expensive gear is protected by Clik’s rugged build and strong materials. When it starts raining he waits it out with the sturdy rain cover tucked beneath the bottom of his pack. Lately he’s been shooting medium format digital with his Hasselblad H4D, or medium format 6×17 film with his Linhof Technorama. These oversized cameras fit well into his Clik Pro Elite Pack just as nice as his Nikon 35mm gear does. He feels it’s also great to be able to attach his big Tripod to the back of the new Pro Elite Pack. The hydration pack on the Hiker is a feature he enjoys while hiking on the trail.”
