"My work is about respecting the beauty that remains and the poetry that is found." - David H. Gibson
David H. Gibson is a lifelong photographer whose first contact with the medium was in his father's darkroom before he could read. Gibson received a B.A. from Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, and an M.A. at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. His early work in theater lighting enhanced his photographic education which is largely self-directed. Valley House Gallery has shown his photographs since 1990, just after he had his first solo exhibition at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York.
Since 1990, Gibson’s work has been featured in Aperture, Hasselblad Forum, Photo Technik International, PHOTOgraphic, and View Camera, and has been the subject of numerous books. His work took the grand prize at the International Art Competition at Yosemite Museum Gallery in California and been acquired by many museums, including the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, the Ballinglen Foundation in Ireland, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Gibson’s work has been exhibited at the AIPAD Photography Show (Wm.
