His Style
David is mostly known for his commercial photography and his x-ray photography. David has done ads for companies as big as AT&T, Comcast, Microsoft, Coach and Sprite along with lots of other multi million dollar companies. His X-ray photography is his most unique style. The x-ray style he tries to tell stories such as a grocery bag with Prada and Gucci hidden inside which people can take different ways. David uses the same style with people as one of his pictures is a pant leg showing everyday items through the pants.
What is his philosophy?
Lots of David's work revolves around business which is a lot more strict and gives him less creativity. His x-ray photos really show his deep understanding of human perception and creativity. He claims that photography is like a universal language where you can tell stories with just one photo. Some of his photos suggest someone stealing, someone that takes self defense seriously, having a gun in their purse. Over all David portrays a very understanding person as you would have to be understanding and have empathy to portray a story with just 1 image.
His influences
David's strange style inspired me to take more deep pictures that show a story. I try to have more mystery in my photos so people can have different understandings of the image. He also inspired me by his business photos as they are minimal but clean. His business photos do not have a lot of creativity yet they inspire me to take photos with a strong subject and no other details. Overall his photos, both his business and creative work inspire me to try to imitate them and see how I feel about that.
