David Drebin

David Drebin fuses voyeuristic and psychological viewpoints into a style that is entirely his own. His images offer a dramatic glimpse into emotions and moments most of us have experienced at some point. After graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1996, Drebin soon earned recognition as an internationally acclaimed photographer, capturing movie stars, sports figures and a wide range of entertainers, and he went on to be commissioned for numerous high-profile advertising campaigns around the world.

Drebin’s images are epic, dramatic and, above all, cinematic, and they are collected worldwide. In a signature, lavish style, he places femme fatales against the vast backdrops of cities such as Hong Kong, New York and Paris. These sweeping city panoramas, scaled as a tribute to cinema, serve as cinematic stages. With their striking skyscrapers, they give the viewer an almost limitless canvas for the imagination. The tension and depth that define his work come from freely mixing contrasting themes—humor and sex, melancholy and sex, and melancholy and humor.
