Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, David Nunuk specializes in science, nature, and astro-scenic photography. He is also well-known for his environmental photography (see water pollution photos, air pollution photos) David has worked as a professional photographer for the past 17 years.

David's photography has been published around the world - his images of nature, agriculture and astro-photography have appeared on both US and Canadian postage stamps and in magazines ranging from Time, Geo, Discover, Outside, Canadian Geographic, Reader's Digest, Nature, British Geographical, the Independent and the Sunday Telegraph. His work also appears in many other top publications and art print books.

David was the photographer for the bestselling books Hiking on the Edge (Raincoast, 1995) and Haida Gwaii: journeys through the Queen Charlotte Islands (Raincoast, 1997).

David's most recent book: Natural Light, Visions of British Columbia (Harbour, 2003) features his work exclusively. The large coffee table book shows the startling contrasts of BC - from the warm Mediterranean tones of an Okanagan vineyard to the crystalline twinkle of an ice cave. His photographs of frosted mountain peaks, Sahara-like sand dunes and moss-bedecked rainforests create an inspired collection of photography. Natural Light has prompted such editorial comments as "...a jewel of photographs...", "...jaw-dropping..", "...see for yourself to fully appreciate...", "...truly spectacular...", among others.

David has also appeared on both television and radio, discussing photography on the CTV News and shows such as CBC's Book Mark, CBC's BC Almanac, and CKNW's "The Peter Warren Show".

Most recently David has had another one of his photos chosen for a 2007 Canadian Flag Stamp (he now has two Canadian Stamps and one US Stamp in his portfolio).

After graduating from the University of BC with a BSc in agriculture, he worked as a tree planter, diamond driller and prospector, among other jobs, before turning to photography.
