Artist Bio Daniel Newcomb American Photographer (b. 1973). For 30 years, Newcomb has worked as a commercial architectural photographer for world famous interior designers and architects. All the while, his fine-art lens has been exploring the world, focused on forgotten architectural sites. Daniel starting creating images at the age of 15 when his parents gave him his first 35mm camera and a darkroom. He was shy, but found solace in books, painting, music, and writing poetry. He felt a kinship in the works of Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Miles Davis, Raymond Chandler, Charles Bukoswki, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and all the jazz and rock poets he could consume. His camera became a way to express his emotions, and he was soon mixing his poetry and historic info with his art. He states, “I found this extra engagement with the viewer which could nudge a person’s feelings towards how I felt at the time of creation.” From different formats of film to digital, his tools are ever-changing, but he always has a camera and journal book in hand. “This keeps my mind from just exploding. I have all these images and words in mind that I must continually have flowing out like a rambling jazz solo.” Daniel shoots all forms of beauty in the world, but always finds himself drawn to the historical architecture of the world.
