David Graham
American 20th-21st century American photographer and educator
(Abingdon, Pa, 1952 – )
From Lawrence Miller Gallery website: "Internationally recognized as a photographer of the American dream, David has documented the homes we have built, our lives both public and private, and a purely American expression of “freedom.”
David Graham was born in Abington, Pennsylvania. He received a BA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and his MFA in Photography from the Tyler School of Art. Graham studied under Ray Metzker and Will Larson, and was mentored by Emmet Gowin. He has taught at Moore College of Art and is currently on the faculty at The University of the Arts.
Tirelessly traveling throughout the United States, Graham captures the colorful and sometimes surreal in the American landscape. Graham seeks out subjects that celebrate our singular freedom of expression, whether in colorful roadside attractions, idiosyncratic sculptures, or everyday people who revel in impersonating famous characters - from show biz (Elvis) to American history (Thomas Jefferson). Chronicling the American scene with this unique sensibility, Graham celebrates the creativity and dreams of the common man."
