As Luke Combs' tour photographer since 2019, Canon Explorer of Light David Bergman has documented the historic rise of the country music superstar both on stage and off. But that's only the latest in Bergman's own storied 30+ year career. He spent nearly a decade traveling the world with Bon Jovi and has toured with other artists including Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan, and Gloria Estefan. As a sports photographer, he covered numerous Olympics, Super Bowls, and World Series games, and has 13 Sports Illustrated covers to his credit. He's also photographed eight US Presidents, the Queen of England, and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Before moving to New York City in 2001, Bergman was a photojournalist on staff at The Miami Herald where he covered news and sports events around the world. He has also helped photographers to advance their own photography skills through his work as an Explorer of Light, YouTube host, and live workshop host.
