Full Biography

David has been a photographer since 1977, when he joined the Fleet Street picture agency Fox Photos. He then moved to the Keystone Press agency, covering news around London. Major stories covered included, the Iranian Embassy siege, the Brixton riots and the early days of Lady Diana. From 1981 he covered Princess Diana and the Royals. After Charles and Diana married David photographed them around the world, visiting over fifty countries and producing sixteen illustrated books on their travels, two of which - Charles and Diana's First Royal Tour, and Charles and Diana in Canada - made the Sunday Times Best Seller list.

His work is published regularly by the leading magazines in the World, including Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Paris Match, Businessweek and Forbes.

David's story on the English Social Season was published as a special supplement by Tatler in 1993.
In 1994 he became the first photographer ever granted full behind the scenes access into the Bank of England for a story that ran in the Daily Telegraph magazine.

A project on Annual British Rituals, shot over two years, ran as a ten page feature in the Sunday Times magazine. David's work has been exhibited by the World Press Photo contest, the Press Photographers Association, and the Association of Photographers.
Awards include a merit in the Association of Photographers Awards and a prize in the Texaco Industrial Photographer of the Year contest.

David is currently putting together a body of work on the theme of 'Spare Time'. It is a study of how people spend their leisure hours. The time outside of the working day when what they do is their own choice. It incorporates pictures that he has already shot as well as a mass of new material. It will be published as a book and exhibited when it is finished.
