I have admired David Arky's work for a long time. The precision and cleverness of his still life work always attracted me, and I am a great fan of his X-ray photography. While I was never fortunate enough to work with him on assignment, I have followed his work and wondered how he achieved such strong editorial and commercial work.

David graciously agreed to talk about his work with me, and after a fascinating conversation in his beautiful midtown studio, I found out just what was behind his creative photography.

How did you come to photography?

I discovered photography in summer camp when I was 8. The magic of developing film and seeing my first print emerge under a safelight has never left.

My Photo
I've been in the art and photography industry for 15 years as a photographer, curator and art consultant. I've been fortunate to work with ASMPNY as a portfolio reviewer as well as a panelist for photography events here in the city. Earlier this year my exhibition, "Hotter Than July" was reviewed by senior art critic of New York Magazine, Jerry Saltz. In the past I founded veaux.org, a site for emerging creatives with a gallery space in Chelsea as well as curator/consultant of exhibitions for the Hipstamatic iphone app. Currently I'm working on a project documenting the New York art world while curating exhibitions around the city.
