David Modell's photo-essays
have won many national and international awards and he has had several important
exhibitions. His photographs continue to appear in the quality UK colour
supplements and major international magazines. Born in 1969, David left
school at 16 and began taking photographs of local news events. After building
up a portfolio, at the age of 18 he started working for the Sunday Telegraph.
He moved on to shoot for the UK colour supplement magazines such as the
Sunday Times Magazine and the Independent Magazine and started working on
longer term assignments. This year, David has made several short films for
Channel 4 News using a mini DV camera.
