Biography

David Zimmerman is an American-born photographer working in several locations, from Taos, New Mexico to Jogiwara Village in northern India.  Over the past two decades, several of his series, including Desert, Last Refuge, and, most recently, One Voice, have focused on endangered landscapes and cultures displaced by environmental, social, economic and political causes.

David Zimmerman is the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2009 Sony World Photography Awards L’Iris d’Or Prize for his work in the deserts of the southwestern United States, and is the founder of the Himalayan Art Centre in Jogiwara Village, a studio and school that provides free education in visual storytelling and is a meeting space for artists and writers from around the world.  In 2011, he was named a member of the Artistic Advisory Board for the Worldwide Photography Awards.
