David Hilliard (photographer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Hilliard (born 1964 in Lowell, Massachusetts) is an American photographer. A fine arts photographer who works mainly with panoramic photographs, he draws inspiration from his personal life and those around him for his subject matter. Many of the scenes are staged, evoking a performative quality, a middle ground between fact and fiction.

He received his MFA from Yale University in 1994. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and Maine.
