Who Is This Guy?
Second place 2012 Hasselblad Masters Finalist, D.A.Wagner is a Brooklyn boy who took up photography after finding his father’s old twin lens reflex roll film camera in the attic. He promptly started taking pictures of rocks, wood, girls and subway stations. After a stint at the Fashion Institute of Technology he jumped into assisting with a few notable still life and fashion photographers and then, being an impatient sort, launched his own career, first shooting still life, then adding special effects, virtual and interactive photography and video to keep himself from getting bored. He works out of his 10,000 square foot studio just outside the Lincoln Tunnel so he can accumulate stuff.
It may have been Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe who said, “Less is more.” But it took D.A.Wagner to do more with even less.
