About
David Myers, a fine-art photographer based in Maryland, USA, has photographed extensively in the United States, Italy, Greece, Africa, and South America.
The Work
David’s work often grows out of paying long-term attention to ordinary places—small towns, rural edges, quiet roads, fields, and landscapes shaped by long settlement where human traces are present. He returns to the same locations many times, often over years, letting small shifts in light and circumstance reveal what is usually overlooked. Taking a camera along with him allows David to slow down and to see deeper into a place or experience, not to document, but to come to terms with where he is. Influenced by photographers whose practices are grounded in patient, attentive seeing—Eugène Atget, Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Ernesto Bazan, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Tim Carpenter, Walker Evans, John Gossage, Sally Mann, Raymond Meeks, Philip Perkis, and Mark Ruwedel—he tries to make photographs that stay open rather than declarative. They are neither metaphors nor statements, but invitations to look closely.
The work depends on the viewer as much as on my repeated visits. David aims to offer photographs that the audience can enter quietly, bringing their own memories, associations, and experiences to the scene. Because these places are modest and unassuming—a field edge, a stretch of road, a house touched by late-afternoon light—the meaning isn’t fixed; it develops through the viewer’s attention. Over time, the accumulation of images forms a rhythm that doesn’t tell a story so much as creates space for reflection. What interests David is the shared act of looking—how careful attention, extended over time, can create a deeper connection between place, photographer, and viewer.
