In his newest photographs from the series entitled “Beautiful Distasters“, David Drebin develops saucy-seductive stories around the voyages of his desirable protagonists. Inapproachable, unattainable and likewise irresistible, the women in these photographs own an eroticising charisma which is a trademark of David Drebin’s work. The spectator becomes a voyeur and gets a glimpse of apartments where glamourous, heroic, and attractive women are staged mysteriously or of unique subjects in which the female body is shown lascivious and passionate. But below the beautiful surface of the models it quakes: Drebin shares their desires, wishes and hopes with the spectator. So he succeeds in doing photographs full of pathetic intimacy and closeness which combine topics such as humor, love, erotic, loneliness and melancholia.
David Drebin was born in 1970 in Canada and grew up in Toronto before he moved to New York City to study at »Parsons The New School for Design«. After his succesful graduation he quickly established his reputation as an international photographer for advertising and fashion. Enterprises like American Express, Mercedes, Nike, or Sony belong to his range of customers and his photographs are published in magazines like »Elle«, »GQ«, »New York Times Magazine«, »Rolling Stone«, or »Vanity Fair«. In 2005, David Drebin had his first solo exhibition at CAMERA WORK. In 2007, a selection of his photographs was released in the photo book »Love And Other Stories«, three years later the photobook »The Morning After« (teNeues) was published and was exclusively launched at CAMERA WORK. In recent years, David Drebin has developed to a much asked contemporary photographer on the photography art market. Drebins photographs have been presented in numerous exhibitions worldwide, featured on considerable art fairs and are part of international auctions.
