In a world of Instagram, YouTube and a plethora of social media stages, just about any Tom, Dick or Harry lays claim to being a photographer. Which is why, when you come across someone who has really mastered the trade, the genuine art photography becomes all the more exceptional. British-born - but now Brooklyn-based - contemporary photographer David Pexton is a case in point. His ardent passion for the city that never sleeps is infectious: roaming the metropolis, Pexton is able to capture every tiny detail of a little-known architectural gem; express the character of a passer-by in even the smallest gestural expression; or - moving further afield, beyond the streets of the city - snap the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural landscape. His eye for colour and composition is second to none, and the result is a comprehensive portfolio of photographic work that really packs a punch. With scenes across the globe - from New York, to California, London and even Iceland - Pexton’s work - a mix of 35mm, Medium Format and Instant film - never ceases to stun, intrigue and impress. This is one to watch.
