About Palmer Davis

Palmer Davis makes pictures that explore the mysterious and the magical in the everyday. His photographs evoke a sense of place and a moment in time. They tell stories and reveal metaphors. Whether the setting is natural or man-made, an expansive panorama or an intimate glimpse, it is always a personal interpretation—viewed through a prism of wonder, dream, memory, myth or desire.

Palmer’s photographic eye was honed over a twenty-five year career as a Madison Avenue Advertising Creative Director. His first photography class at age sixteen was a transformative experience that started him on a lifelong artistic journey. He studied photography at Hampshire College, California College of Arts and Crafts and The International Center of Photography, where he is now a longtime member of the faculty. Widely exhibited and collected, Davis is a fine art photographer who is represented in NYC by Clampart gallery.
