Woman artist in hijab Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

David Compton has been creating highly engaging artistic photographs for over 20 years. He is based in Chicago but has lived and worked in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. His work -- spanning many countries and cultures -- finds inspiration in authentic human actions and also in the natural and human-made world. His distinctive vision of the medium occupies a unique space in which the arresting images he creates reveal real human emotions of serenity, wonder, spiritual resonance, or even dissonance. Many of his images speak to fascinating traces of human existence or our relationship to the spiritual world. His images appeal to those with a strong aesthetic sense of nature and the human potential in themselves and in the world they have created and lived in. "I do not attempt to manipulate the world for the sake of creating an image, but I strive to share the wonder that is around us, capturing a view of the world which others have missed, or an image which we may not have grasped. The still photographic image allows us to savor this missed moment in our own time and place we inhabit." David is also a New York Times bestselling author.
