David Michael Kennedy’s vast body of work includes iconic portraits of musicians, actors and artists such as Bob Dylan, Debbie Harry and Willie Nelson. In 1986, he moved to New Mexico and began to focus on his fine art photography, concentrating on the Southwest landscape and the people who live there. Through hard-won relationships developed over time, Kennedy was granted permission to photograph American Indian Ceremonial Dancers. Kennedy’s images are materialized through the traditional analog technique of platinum/palladium printing. He teaches private landscape, portrait and platinum/palladium darkroom to students who come from all over the world to study with him. His work is held in both private and museum collections including
The National Portrait Gallery, The Smithsonian and The Harwood Museum.
