David Hilliard (photographer)

David Hilliard (born 1964, Lowell, Massachusetts) is an American photographer. He received his MFA from Yale University in 1994.

Hilliard is a fine arts photographer that mainly works with panoramic photographs. He draws from his personal life and those around him for his subjects and records events through his work. His photographs mainly focus on the ordinary day life but there is a fictitious aspect to the work because many of the scenes are staged.

David Hilliard’s vibrant color photographs, usually triptychs or larger compositions, present elaborate narratives exploring a range of themes and situations, from the awkwardness of adolescence to masculinity disarmed.
