Untitled, New York, Edition 1/15 Photograph

Born and raised in the Lower East Side of New York City, David’s photographs are an observation into the dynamics between the environment and those who inhabit them. Working primarily with analog photographic materials and processes, David’s curiosity is shaped by the interaction between the materiality of a photograph, and the constant negotiation between chance and control. Best known for his black and white darkroom work and photo books, he has published three books, several of which are held in library collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Public Library, and the Center for Book Arts. In 2022, David was awarded the Corky Lee Image of Hope award by the New York State Assembly Member, recognizing his impact on the community through the Arts with his works, Where Did All the Flowers Go? and Some Chinatown Portraits.
