Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, David Burdeny has degrees in both
Interior design and a Masters in Architecture. At the age of 12, David
started to photograph the prairie landscape and make his own black and
white prints in a makeshift darkroom that also served as his bedroom
closet. Primarily self taught, his architecture and design background
greatly influences his penchant for simple exacting photographs of sky,
horizon and the marks humankind leaves behind.
Influenced by notable photographers such Michael Kenna, Hiroshi
Sugimoto and Fay Goodwin, David purposefully photographs in poor light
and near darkness. He uses unusually long exposures to see that which
our eyes can not. Moving beyond the literal, his images have been
described as ominous, haunting, beautiful and meditative.
