One word that you often hear around the work of Canadian photographer David Drebin is cinematic. Having moved to New York to attend the Parsons The New School for Design, graduating in 1996, has has become well known for his sexy and dramatically posed images of both celebrities and non-celebrities alike.
Drebin has some impressive commercial projects on his resume, including campaigns for AMerican Express and Davidoff, as well as contributing to leading magazines like GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle and Rolling Stone.
In Europe, you are most likely to come across Drebin's work through the Camera Work gallery in Berlin, who are responsible for representing him on the Continent. As a business Camera Work AG owns one of the worlds most comprehensive collections of photography and photographic books, from photographers such as Richard Avedon, Dorothea Lange, Paul Strand, Man Ray, Diane Arbus and Robert Frank. The gallery itself presents an ever changing array of exhibitions, participates in art fairs globally and works closely with museums and collectors to encourage the acquisition of photographic works.
Camera Work is currently hosting an exhibition of Drebin's work, entitled "The Morning After", which coincides with the release of his latest photo book of the same name. His works are credited with the ability to pull the viewer from reality and to allow them to delve into the mystery and illusion of these cinematic scenes that he creates. Famed perhaps for his night shots of brightly lit cities like Hong Kong and New York, Drebin has a talent for inserting drama and intrigue into his urban settings.
This latest exhibition at Camera Work will run until the 15th January 2011.
