About the photographer

I wait for the city to reveal a different side.

David Shvartsman creates panoramic photographs of cities, bridges, waterways, and natural spaces. He works slowly, returning to a viewpoint until weather, light, and place align.

The wider frame

Room for the whole experience.

A panoramic photograph changes how you look. Your eye moves across the frame, finding relationships between buildings, water, weather, and light that a tighter crop can miss.

David’s work starts with that experience. Each final image is composed for the 3:1 format and prepared to hold its detail at large canvas sizes.

“The best view is rarely a single landmark. It is the way the whole place comes together for a moment.”
