Harold Davis Black and White Photography
American, b. 1953
Harold Davis is an artist and bestselling author of many books, the developer of a unique technique for photographing flowers for transparency, a Moab Master, and a Zeiss Ambassador. He is an internationally known photographer and a sought-after workshop leader. His website is www.digitalfieldguide.com. Harold Davis’s work has been exhibited in numerous venues including MacWorld, Photokina in Cologne, Germany, PhotoPlus Expo in New York, the Gallery Photo in Oakland, CA, Shoh Gallery in Berkeley, CA, the Arts & Friends Gallery in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Awagami Gallery in Japan. Harold is represented by the Weston Gallery, Carmel, CA. Harold Davis’s work is in collections around the world, and licensed by art publishers, in annual reports, and has appeared in numerous magazines and many publications. Harold's work combines innovative technology with digital painting and photographic techniques. As one collector puts it, "Harold Davis is a digital artist using photographs as his source material." Harold is an acknowledged master of digital black and white photography, and has created bodies of work related to night photography and surrealist, impossible imagery. An innovator in post-production, he has coined the now widespread terms "hand-HDR" and "multi-RAW processing". His black and white prints have been described as “hauntingly beautiful” by Fine Art Printer Magazine, and the Seattle Book Review states that "Harold Davis is the digital black and white equal of Ansel Adams’s traditional wet photography." Harold is the inventor of a widely admired technique for photographing flowers for transparency on a light box, and a pioneer in adopting in-camera multiple exposures to studio photography in the digital era. His floral prints have been called “ethereal,” with “a purity and translucence that borders on spiritual” by Popular Photography. According to Rangefinder Magazine, Harold Davis is "a man of astonishing eclectic skills and accomplishments." One area of his particular interest is extreme color post-production techniques using LAB color, an alternative way of thinking about and interacting with color. Recently, he has been working with x-ray apparatus, and combining the results with translucent photos, to create unique "fusion" x-ray imaging. Harold is the winner of a NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association) Judge’s Choice award, and his photos have won numerous juried competitions around the world. His one-person exhibits include Shoh Gallery, Arras Gallery, New York, the New-York Historical Society, and Discovery Gallery, New York. In addition, Harold’s photography is included in collections including First Boston Corporation, Tishman Realty, and the Museum of the City of New York. His photographs have been featured and anthologized in Photography for the Art Market (Amphoto), Masked Culture (Columbia University Press), by the New York Open Center and the Maine Photographic Workshop, Rangefinder Magazine, Nikon World, Popular Photography, Digital Photography Magazine, and elsewhere. Harold’s art has been used as book covers by major publishers including St. Martin’s Press, Prentice-Hall, and many others.to
