Check FAQAbout David
I'm a photojournalist based in New York with a lot of experience in the Middle East. One favorite project was co-founding Panorama with Mada Masr, a platform for showcasing the best photojournalism from Egypt and issues of interest to the greater Arab world. I was also a founding contributor to @EverydayMiddleEast. My work has been published widely in outlets such as National Geographic, Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde Magazines. One of my long-term projects, “Modern Miracles,” which documents the physical imprint of the spiritual world, was the subject of a solo exhibition at Maqad Sultan Qaytbay in 2017. I recently returned to Boston to document this moment in the US while expanding my visual language to incorporate more video and documentary work.
