David Lorenz Winston is an award winning
photographer, internationally recognized for his
nature photography. His crisp winter landscapes
and stunning images of trees enhance art and
photography collections around the world.
He is well known for "Solitude," an image of
a zigzag fence and tree taken after a fresh coat
of snow in the western suburbs of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. To date, more than 300,000 posters
of this quietly tranquil image have been published.

Winston’s images, however, are not limited to the
natural landscape. He is equally at home reflecting
on the human condition and uncovering surprises in
the ordinary. He brings a unique way of seeing to his
work, which is expressed through humor, irony, timing
and mystery.

Statement:My imagery is about discovery. It takes me to places I have never been, places that free me from the
pressures of a clock driven world, places that heal. I'm most excited when in tune with the underlying
flow and energy of the ordinary. I seek to reveal the essence of a moment or place gone unnoticed. I
love showing things in new ways, using the elements of surprise, mystery and playfulness, fused with
design and movement.
Appreciations"Not another "nature photographer" or simply mimesis here. David has an "eye" yes, but mindfulness
too. His photos are visual haiku. They open and empty and change us. David is a gift to all of us."
