I am a self-taught photographer who began photographing in the South Florida area in the early 1970’s. In 1976 and 1977 I served as stage manager for the Grove Dance Theater under Artistic Director Billie Kirpich where I developed my love of photographing dance and movement. I later studied photography at the University of Miami in 1978 and 1979. In the early 1990’s I studied photography under Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez at Florida International University.
In the late 1990’s I owned and operated a commercial photography studio in Hollywood, Florida – David L. Cohen Photography. I provided a range of professional photographic services including portrait, architectural, product, editorial, fashion and fine art photography.
In 1998 I relocated to the Triad area of North Carolina where I continue photographic persuits today.
