David - a sparky by profession - told in an interview: 'I first started flying drones and using a GoPro about seven years ago. I've always been interested in photography. I grew up watching David Attenborough and Steve Irwin, so I've always loved wildlife and sea life. I was always into swimming and loved the ocean from a young age.'
