Lester Davidson

Lester Davidson has maintained a lifelong interest in the physical environment and the natural surroundings of his world. Thus it is not unexpected that, in the midst of a highly successful business career, he should become a serious student of photography.

A graduate of Cornell University, Davidson next studied at the New School for Social Research and the Parson School of Design. He studied privately with the legendary photographer Ansel Adams, continuing his studies with Jerry Uelsman, Ruth Bernhard, Lucien Clergue and Sally Mann, all the while honing and perfecting his visions in black and white photography.

Believing color would be too seductive and interfere with the intrinsic nature of the textures and shapes of the objects themselves, only recently has Davidson become a serious student of digital imagery and, with it, the addition of color into his provocatively surreal images.

To date Mr. Davidson has had twelve one person shows. Currently his prints are in over 200 private collections. He is represented exclusively by Longstreth Goldberg ART in Florida.
