About this site:

"After careful consideration, I decided to publish a part of my early photographic work. After this long time I was not sure whether my works of the late 80s and 90s are still relevant today. They are works that were created at the end of the analogue age in photography. Many of my works were exposed on 24/36 mm Polaroid films."

 

From 1989 to 1999 Arthur David experimented with the medium of photography between the poles of applied art and art. Apart from a few exceptions, he worked with an analog small-format camera without large equipment. To cover the cost of living, he also worked in advertising, at least where creativity was needed, and for various more sophisticated magazines. It should also not be concealed that he often needed a trained technician and photographer as assistants for such jobs. Arthur David: "I knew a lot about the structure of images, aesthetics and light, but little about the technical side of photography.

 

He has destroyed many of his works. Fortunately some works have been preserved. A selection is available on this website.
