COIA CREATIVE

Outdoor Lifestyle & Automotive Photographer

My name is Dave Coia, I’m a freelance outdoor, lifestyle and automotive photographer.

Living in Scotland I’m very well adapted to shooting in all weathers and thrive in what others may consider challenging conditions and thrive on chasing that “golden light”.

I’m creative at heart and no matter the brief, conditions or challenges I might face I will always give 100%.

I love nothing more than an early morning to shoot at sunrise or a late-evening summit push to capture the last light of the day.

A family weekend in Berlin was just what the doctor ordered.

Of course I took the camera with me - but with less pressure on myself chasing “the shot” and more focus on shoot whatever, whenever and still try to get creative.

A few street panning shots from my time in Berlin

These were all captured super last minute with a quick change of settings and a little pray and spray while being a city tourist.

Love how some of them turned out 👌🏼

Moody days on the Scottish hills. Excited to have a few more days on the hills soon. Those light evenings are the best!

Where are all my biking followers at?

Biking weather is (very) slowly coming back around again. Gotta take those dry days and evenings when I can get them!

Looking forward to another delivery from @triumphuk at the end of the month.

Adventure is calling. Heading to another wonderful stay next week, not quite as far as Skye this time.

Looking forward to some chilled days and a few new spots to check out.

A recent shoot with this blacked out @porsche 718 GTS

Really enjoyed trying my hand at some light painting, although probably not the best to try on a black car to begin with.

Really happy with how these came out - next time, light painting outdoo

Always a pleasure shooting for @outwardbounduk - a day in the Highlands at the end of 2023 alongside some of the @barratthomes_ ambassadors who joined for the adventures and challenges.

No better feeling than being out on the hills.

The last few weeks were a challenge shooting some product work around the Scottish weather but it made for some interesting trips (this was taken right before some lovely hail and torrential rain)!

Lo

An epic day out shooting with the @thepolaracademy crew. A day of tyre hauling up and down the beach, and in and out of the sea!

Best of luck to everyone heading out on expedition in the next week.
