David D. Pistol. Capturing the essence of life through a lens.

I’m David, a street, portrait, and documentarian photographer

I am a Black man of African / Caribbean heritage. While I was born in Ottawa, Canada, and I grew up in Chicago, the USA, my family originates from Jamaica. I have the unique experience of living in multiple urban centers while remaining connected to my Jamaican roots expressed in the modern context of North American style, fashion, and culture. It is important to me that my work empowers women, especially women of color, and showcases non-European depictions of beauty, strength, and resilience.
