Being Like | David Hilliard

Although he garnered the attention of the art world a while ago, David Hilliard only recently appeared on my radar as a photographer worth following.  When looking at his work, you can clearly see his mastery of photo-prose and his use of panoramic diptychs, triptychs and the like allows him to almost escape the static perspective of photography.  

His work frequently draws on the concept of masculinity and the relationship of the photographer to his subjects, sometimes intimate and at other times superficial.  His recent body of work will be on display at the Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica, CA beginning Jan. 10th and in the upcoming issue of Eyemazing.
