David Land, Photographer and Director

Welcome back to episode four of season six of The Mood Board Podcast! In the interior design industry, many of us work on creating gorgeous transformational rooms for our clients, and photographing these projects when they're done is a crucial part of the design process. One, you need to photograph your work build your portfolio, and use the imagery to bring in new clientele. However, finding an interior photographer who can breathe life into your project and capture the essence of your space can be challenging. So this week, I brought on the show photographer and director, David Land , who has mastered the art of photographing interiors in the industry. I have had the pleasure of working with David Land on multiple projects, including my double feature in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. David and I discuss the changing landscape of photography due to social media and everyone having a camera on their phones. Plus, what is he doing now to continue to grow and challenge himself?

There are many versions of what constitutes an “American” upbringing, and David can lay
claim to an interesting one. He was born in Northern California to a knowledgeable, discerning tribe that included a pilot, a botanist, painters, Asian art collectors, sailors, and raconteurs. These were people who loved beauty, entertainment, and travel, who created the world that David absorbed at a cellular level and brings alive in his bold, multilayered photographs and moving images.

Living in Brooklyn with his husband and two sons, he has truly expanded into an even broader world, having long been committed to showcasing the work of Black artists and designers. During this past year, David has used his beautiful, eclectic home as a canvas, inviting the family into his artistic process and client work as the stars of films, design takeovers, and a daily diary.
