David Robert Farmerie
Nashville, TN, USA
Beginning in the genres of fashion, and music, for the first three years, David quickly established himself as a rising professional. Discontent, he followed his passion for telling stories, and immersed himself into the coveted territories of photojournalism.
Over a span of several years, David had photographed a virtual who’s who of world leaders - and the events shaped by them, including three U.S. Presidents, and several Presidential races. David’s camera also bore witness to the Solidarity Movement in Poland, and the Peace Conferences between The Zapatista and the Mexican Government.
David’s career diversified even further with clients such as BBC Television, Paramount Pictures, The Broadway Series, and Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre.
In 1995 David transitioned, once again, focusing his passion for telling stories even deeper – a refinement that continues to this day. His inaugural project, that seemed to signify this refinement, was “A Mountain Dignity”: a, highly acclaimed, in-depth photographic documentary into, what David still considers, the true culture of the Appalachian people.
“David’s images are exquisitely truthful”. His work with the Mayan cultures, living throughout Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is considered monumental. The images are both beautiful and, at times, haunting in their revelations. “David’s ability to capture the very soul, of his subjects, is without rival.” His images compel the viewer to connect with the subjects portrayed.” “David’s images truly tell the deeper story.”
In the Spring of 2008, nearly three years after having moved to Nashville, David’s vision evolved once again, expanding into what his critics refer to as Fine Art Photography. Still creating from the place of a storyteller and documentarian, David broke any bounds that he may previous have had. David is also quick to expound on the influences that living in the South has had on him, and his work.
