“Nothing evokes memories of a time, place or person like a Photograph does”.
David Maybury is a fine-art landscape photographer based in Florida, whose work emphasizes light, tonal depth, and a quiet sense of place. His images are shaped by patience and restraint, favoring balance and atmosphere over overt spectacle.
With more than three decades behind the camera, David’s photographic foundation was formed during the era of film and deliberate craft. Early work with medium-format film systems instilled a disciplined, intentional approach that continues to define his practice today.
Working primarily in medium format, David creates photographs with exceptional clarity and depth, designed for large-scale, archival presentation. His work reflects extended engagement with location, often returning repeatedly as light and environmental conditions evolve.
David’s photographs are offered as fine-art prints, produced to gallery standards and intended for long-term collection.
Kelso Street in Glasgow was my Grandparents home when I was growing up. I remember so many Christmases, New Years, Birthdays, Anniversaries and Retirement parties. It was the center for all family gatherings, often with up to four generations of relatives in attendance. Amazing stories that kept my cousins and I engaged for hours. Many of these gatherings would be relived through photos in the years that followed. I think back to that time and wonder how different it would be if we had digital photography back then. No film to buy, no money needed to develop the film, every press of the button was free. I’m sure it would have led to a lot more pictures being taken and shared.
When I visited, I would often go through old photo albums. People in their younger years, you wouldn’t believe were once so young. People from before my time that I did not know, but they were brought to life by the photos you saw and the stories you heard about them. Then perhaps the toughest of all, pictures of people you knew and loved, but who are no longer with us. Those pictures would keep your memories alive. In 1992, I bought my first camera, a used 35mm Pentax SF7. I taught myself frame by frame from books and magazines. I was in my late teens and living at Kelso Street during that time. Money for film was always scarce, but I photographed family, friends, weddings and the streets of Glasgow whenever I could as I learned the craft.
My interest in photography as a way of documenting life started here, so what better name for the Gallery featuring my work.
