Item Special Note
David's obsession with photography developed in his early teens whilst training as a boxer in Glasgow. At the age of 16, having been inspired by photographs of his boxing idols taken by Charles Hoff, he picked up a camera himself and started to document the atmosphere and reality of Glasgow's boxing culture. In the late 1990's David won a couple of local photographic competitions with his black and white documentary street scenes of Glasgow life. On the back of this success he began to secure regular commissions from several of Scotland's leading broadsheet newspapers and magazines.
Through regular photographic commissions David further developed as a photographer and was able to quit his full time employment in 1999 and realise his dream in becoming a photojournalist. He currently undertakes social and humanitarian projects around the world, covering topical issues, which he feels passionately about. David funds these projects through editorial commissions, assignments and teaching photography on a part time basis.
The above image of Yana won the UNICEF Photo of the Year in 2005.
