David Sparks is a Grand Rapids-based commercial photographer with over 12 years of experience, specializing in architectural and interiors photography. Since 2013, he has built a reputation for capturing timeless, high-quality images that bring spaces to life, all while maintaining an authentic and focused approach to his craft.
David’s journey into photography began on a farm in southwest Michigan, where he grew up surrounded by the land and its rich history. After earning his Film Studies degree from the University of Michigan in 2011, he worked in Grand Rapids typing closed captions for TV programs. It was during these monotonous office days that David stumbled upon an opportunity to capture 360-degree imagery for Google’s Business View program. This sparked his transition into commercial photography, and he’s never looked back.
While David has honed his expertise in photographing interiors, exteriors, and architecture, he enjoys branching out into other types of photography as well, from people to product shoots. His work aligns perfectly with the values of Más Marketing + Co., where collaboration, authenticity, and attention to detail are key. David is excited to bring his experience and creative vision to the Colectiva, helping clients tell their stories through striking, professional imagery that complements the powerful work of the team.
