David Halliday perceives elegance in simplicity, beauty in the mundane, and the brilliant vitality of the people, places, and objects that he encounters on a daily basis. In establishing intimate connections with his subjects, Halliday manifests his vision through the camera lens for the world to see. The traditional sensuality in this work reminds us of the simple pleasures in life that we have come to take for granted. His luscious prints bring forth a classical realism much like the great Dutch Renaissance painters of the past. Whether it’s landscapes in Ireland, still life arrangements in a box in Italy, or portraits in his hometown of New Orleans, David Halliday always captures the pure essence of his subject matter. His attention to detail and composition combined with meticulous printing make his works revered by photographers and fine art photography collectors alike.
Along with Kevin Longino, David Halliday is also represented by top galleries in Los Angeles, Houston, New York and New Orleans. He has also published a hand-bound limited edition book with Steven Albahari of 21st Publishers entitled, “The Perfect World of David Halliday.” His work is featured in many collections including Banana Republic, Philip Morris Corporation, Hunter Museum, The New Orleans Museum of Art, and The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. |
