David Allio is an international award-winning photojournalist and digital photographic artist and resident professional photographer in Kauai, Hawaii. In Europe, this contemporary photographic artist is best known as a modern creative talent.

"Although I reside in Hawaii, my commercial assignments cause me to travel extensively," the professional photographic artist explained. "This travel allows me the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of models in a variety of scenic locations."

In 2001, Allio and his images - photographs and digital artworks - were the subject of a 30-minute feature broadcast on PBS. The program entitled "Impressions" was produced by South Carolina Educational Television.

In 2005, he was the photographer for the "Erotic Model of the Year." In 2006, an Allio artwork was featured in NY Arts Magazine and an Allio art exhibition opened in The Saatchi Gallery, London Contemporary Art Gallery. In 2008, his artworks have been published in New York's AntiDull and France-based NuExpo.

All of the models posing au naturale in his artworks either volunteered or paid for the opportunity to become the nude figure subject of a contemporary fine artwork by this respected member of the art community.

"My goal of listing here is to collaborate with female models, couples, and groups to create aesthetic nude figure art," Allio summarized. "I will either work TFT or models may pay my commercial day rate for a private posing session."
