About David King
David King was born and raised in New York, where he studied fine art and concentrated in oil painting until 1994 when he left for Atlanta, Georgia to pursue sculpture at the State University of West Georgia. After many annual multi-artist exhibits, David began his love of photography at The Art Institute of Atlanta in 2004. In the spring of 2008 David graduated, earning not only his Bachelor of Fine Art in photographic imaging, but also Best in Show Portfolio, Outstanding Contributions to the Department, and Excellence in Academic Performance.
Dark and politically based are terms often used to describe Davids photography. His heavily illustrated images explore the inherent issues in our society. Sometimes his messages are implied and other times they are direct. His photography is meant to push the viewers to find their own message or to view a social issue in new light. His style draws from his fine art background in painting; his images have been mistaken for paintings on more than one occasion. After the original image captured on film or digital, hours are spent in post processing to add the finishing touches and give each image the stylized look that David has developed.
