In 1999, Daaave added new dimensions to his photographic endeavors. Not only was A3 Photography born, but he also begun working for Photo USA, a professional photo lab based in Roanoke, Virginia. Photo USA taught Daaave the complete ins and outs of the photo business, as well as schooling him in processing, printing and graphic design & manipulation. With Photo USA, Daaave's eye for color has become unmatched in the profession. He also graduated the Certified Photographic Consultant program with 100% accuracy in 2002, and has been the manager of Photo USA since 2004. 



Daaave became a Google Trusted Photographer in 2014, and has added Google Business View 360 photography to A3 Photography's list of services. This allows each business shot to add a complete virtual tour that links with Google Maps Street View on the web. Presently, Daaave runs A3 Photography, manages Photo USA and owns a web based camera store, ParadiseCamera.com.
