Philosophy: "I see organic lines, symmetry and patterns in both the natural and manmade. My vision comes through seeing something unusual and beautiful in the common and everyday. There isn’t much out there that has not been recorded, but there are always new perspectives."Style: Sections of the physical world, in all forms, such as color fields in nature, or pattern and textural convergences in the everyday, in both black and white and color.
Technique: Works in 35 mm, both SLR and Rangefinder (held at arm’s length), in color and black and white transparencies. The photographs are usually produced on either Cibachrome or Kodak Digital paper for maximum brightness and image saturation.
Background: At an early age David developed an interest in recording what he observed, mostly in the form of writing. After receiving journalism and English Literature degrees from New York University in 1990, he spent four years as an editor and writer with Readers Digest Books, along with other publishers. David’s writing was continually compared with the visual vibrancy and resonance of photography. Gradually, he taught himself photography as a way to pursue simple immediate gratification, but soon making photos took precedence over the written word.
Realizing that his real passion was documenting through a lens, he became a successful New York area location scout and manager for films, music videos and big budget commercials, such as Law and Order and NY Undercover, music videos for performers such as LL Cool J to U2, commercials for major companies like Coca Cola and Fedex, and still shoots for Conde Nast and MTV. He has worked for several photographers, including Burt Glinn, John Bryson, Joe MacNally, David LaChapelle, Mark Seliger, and Guzman.
Armed with a much sought-after visual style for capturing the beautiful and unusual in New York and its people, along with his strong knowledge of locations and architecture, David decided to focus completely on his own photography projects and for the past few years he has been working in several areas. He works commercially with hotels, restaurants, p.r. firms, design agencies, travel companies and other businesses. His photography is exhibited in galleries, fine art shops, bookstores, cafes and restaurants in New York City and Long Island’s East End. His fine art prints are sold to private collectors as well as corporate clients. He has been published in several publications, such as In-New York, Time out New York, The New York Times and Blue Magazine. David also has a successful line of art photography greeting cards sold in upscale stores in NYC, East Hampton and Montauk, NY. He is currently working on a coffee table book of landscape photography.
David works and lives in New York City and Wainscott, NY.
