David was raised in rural Wisconsin, the son of a robotics engineer and a hair stylist. His formative years were filled with such epicurean wonders as Blatz beer, fish fries, and hotdogs eaten straight from the freezer.
After studying fine art photography in Milwaukee, he moved to New York City and worked as a set builder for Annie Leibovitz. One of his very first jobs was to stand just out of frame and catch Muhammad Ali if he got shaky…. no pressure. He spent the next few years traveling the world with fashion photographers - holding a scrim above his head for months on end. When offered a job cooking, propping and then shooting grilled fruit for SHAPE magazine, he found his calling.
David has photographed the bestselling book “Martha Stewart's Appetizers”; crammed into Amanda Freitag's tiny NYC kitchen to shoot her first cookbook, “The Chef Next Door”; and dutifully sampled every drink while shooting “Food & Wine: Cocktails”. He traveled the coastline of North America photographing oyster farmers for “The Essential Oyster” and teamed up with Nick Korbee to shoot “Egg Shop: The Cookbook”. He’s shot an Idaho Potato or two and photographed Melissa Clark’s cookbook, “Kid in the Kitchen”. His latest project is the New York Times Cooking “No-Recipe Recipes”cookbook. Which, despite having no recipes, is full of really nice pictures.
He’s worked for Food Network Magazine, Whole Foods, Food & Wine and many other publications with the word food in the title. His clients include: Apple, Bank of America, Bloomsbury, Blue Apron, Bon Appetit, Cooking Channel, Eating Well, Gather Journal, Grey Goose, HarperCollins, Hudson Yards, Idaho Potato Commission, Martha Stewart, The New York Times, Outside Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Rémy Martin, The Standard Hotel, Squarespace, Stop & Shop, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, Waterworks, Weight Watchers, Winn-Dixie and Ziploc, among others.
