David Arky

I have spent a good part of my 40 year career as a commercial photographer taking pictures of objects, in an attempt to attach some greater meaning to them. Choosing my subjects, composing them on their backgrounds, and lighting and editing them all serve to clearly convey an idea.

Sometimes the ideas were given to me to explore and other times, they were of my own invention or creation. The opportunity to conceptualize, sketch and create images for stories and more recently for my own exhibitions is both challenging and satisfying.

My first solo exhibition, “Sights Unseen” opened in January 2020 at Fremin Gallery in New York City.

I have been published in a broad range of media, including magazines, posters, exhibitions and online.

Clients include American Express, AT&T, Coach USA, Comcast, Eli Lily & Company, Fresca, IBM, Illy USA, Johnson & Johnson, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, New Balance, Samsung, AARP, Forbes Magazine, Men's Health, Newsweek, New York Times Magazine, Field & Stream, among many others.
