Old advertisements for Pentax cameras used to contain the line, “You don’t take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it.” I think that idea sums up my philosophy of photography as well as anything can.

To me, photography is painting with light. I feel blessed to have the beautiful state of Mississippi, with its scenic backdrops and beautiful natural landscapes, as a canvas. I started Mitch C Davis Photography in 2012 in Jackson, Mississippi. It is my goal and dream not just to photograph people, but to have my photographs of them tell the stories of their lives. I strive to capture moments that people can cherish for a lifetime. Moments as such as a grandmother seeing her grandchildren for the first time, or the tenderness of a mother’s hands holding her newborn, are the kind of moments that define people’s lives. Such moments should be revered, remembered, and preserved. That is my passion. I love photography and the emotion it encompasses! I would be honored to capture that emotion and turn it into artwork and heirlooms for your family.

Modelling ("modeling" in American English) is considered to be different from other types of public performance, such as acting or dancing. Although the difference between modelling and performing is not always clear, appearing in a film or a play is not generally considered to be "modelling".
