Elad David was born in Jerusalem and has been living and working in Tel Aviv since 2003. Elad graduated from the Minshar School of Arts, and holds a B.A. in Arts and Social Sciences. As a professional photographer, Elad specializes in portraiture, street art, fashion, and PR photography. In his works, Elad deals with imagery from a personal place, relating to events from his past and present, as w
ell as other events and periods in his life. His work touches on various subjects from gender, family and surroundings to boyhood, photographer-illustrated relations and other fields as environmental portraits of interiors and outdoors, a graphic adaptation of elements in the urban space. Elad often fuses personal texts with his photography as part of his choice not to be limited to the media he uses therefore you can sometimes find in his art different means other than photography such as text, painting, scanning and replication. Many of Elad’s photography works are portraits of males, and most of them include artistic male nudity. These works aim to question the relationship between the photographer and his illustrated subject and the willingness of the subject, as well as the photographer, to expose themselves while being part of the same work. Most of his artistic nude works are directed and possess the aesthetics of clean and minimal studio photography.
