Portrait & Campaign Photographer.
David Hevey – photography campaigns and portraits about the way we live now.
David Hevey is an award-winning, critically-acclaimed and innovative portrait and campaign photographer. David shoots portraits and campaigns for the BBC, United Nations, Time Life, JRF and many others. His campaigns have been profiled on the BBC, Channel4 and reviewed in spreads in the Sunday Independent, The Guardian, Times2, the British Journal of Photography and countless other publications. His work was the subject of a BBC2 profile directed by Chris Hutchins. His retrospective at the National Media Centre was Access To Image: Photographs by David Hevey. His work is also held in the Arts Council and other collections and is featured in the seminal Photography: A Cultural History (Laurence King Publishing 2006.)
David’s photographic work is about innovative ways to show people & the way they live now. Hevey’s work explores how we see people and how they see themselves: his portraiture uses advertising techniques made rough and he takes large format photography & lighting out into social, street or hard-to-reach contexts, to create striking high-end-yet-scratch images of how both insider and outsider people figure – and how they see themselves figuring – today. This is based on the human principle that people are big, no matter how small society sees them.
David’s previous clients include a huge range from Time Life to LA Movieline (shooting portraits of Helena Bonham Carter & Philip Ridley), to BBC billboard campaigns: he has exhibited widely (Bluecoats Gallery, The Baltic, etc.) and had a retrospective of his work at the National Media Centre, Bradford, entitled Access To Image: Photographs by David Hevey. His photo-book The Creatures Time Forgot (Routledge) was a set-text in UK and US universities. His photographic installation, Giants, was launched at London’s City Hall by the London mayor and toured to venues including Brussels and the Scottish Parliament.
