Dave Gallagher Dave Gallagher founded Capture Integration in Atlanta, GA in 2004 having worked for many of the top international digital imaging companies such as Calumet Digital Solutions, Sinar Bron Imaging and Phase One. Frustrated by what he felt was lacking in the marketplace, he saw a need for a new kind of photo retailer that understands the needs of the customer from their perspective. Capture Integration doesn’t just offer equipment and sales, it offers a new level of customer service which promises dedication, integrity, and a true sense of partnership. With these ideals from promoted from the top down, Capture Integration has become the foremost expert in their field and with multiple international awards it is clear that no photographic retailer in the world is respected more.
