David is an American photographer, stands at the intersection of artistic tradition and contemporary expression, weaving the ideals of pictorialists into the fabric of his work. Hailing from a family deeply rooted in both musical and artistic influences, David's creative journey burgeoned during his formative years as a member of the Ridgewood Camera Club.
Post-college, David delved into the realm of large-format film, marking the beginning of his self-taught exploration into the intricate world of photography. His approach, akin to an independent study master's degree, allowed him the freedom to experiment with various techniques and refine his distinctive style.

Themes of ephemeral states, beauty, and imperfections permeate his work, inspired by the rebellious spirit of pictorialists who challenged the relentless pursuit of photographic perfection. David also draws inspiration from artists who masterfully balance simplicity with layers of complexity.
Armed primarily with medium and large-format film, David meticulously develops his creations in a home darkroom. His portfolio encompasses traditional silver gelatin prints, a testament to his commitment to both time-honored techniques and innovative processes. Hand-coated emulsions and alternative printing techniques further underscore his artistic versatility.
