London Photography Award Nomination David Solomons: 'His work relies on his perceptive eye and technical command of an old film camera. He roams the street with an obsessive determination, creating images that reveal the heart of London’s West End at its best and at its worst.'

Telegraph: 'His work relies on his perceptive eye and technical command of an old film camera. He roams the street with an obsessive determination, creating images that reveal the heart of London’s West End at its best and at its worst.'

David was born in London, and became fascinated by reportage photography after visiting the Magnum 'In Our Time' exhibition. A period in Barcelona teaching English cemented an ambition to be a photographer and he moved back to England in 1993 to enrol on a Photography course in Newport studying Documentary Photography.

He is influenced by the work of Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray-Jones and Elliott Erwitt among others and works along similar lines of personal expression rather than adhering to the socially conscious type of photojournalism that is popular amongst many photographers.

David: 'Working in London may not seem by most visitors conducive to good colour street photography, and indeed it certainly doesn't have anything like the beautiful light that say Brazil has. But with such an infinite variety of colourful characters in an ever changing cityscape, it has become in recent times as synonymous with street work as Paris and New York were in their heyday.
