David Luftig, Photographer

David Luftig, Photographer David had his start in photography back in 1977 when he borrowed his father’s Nikon F for a college class at University of Pennsylvania.

A talented photographer with the benefit of formal training, David Luftig shoots stunning portraits and events, and provides artful editing and manipulation in the restoration of old family photos. After all kinds of useful study including theatrical lighting design, neon design, industrial design and a stint in Hollywood, he called a professional photographer friend and asked how to be an assista

nt. He was told to report on Monday! Six intense months later, he decided to continue formal training by attending “The Germain School of Photography.”

He has been shooting professionally ever since, from weddings, world leaders (three so far) to dogs, cats and even a Rolls-Royce catalogue for a dealer in Greenwich, Connecticut. When Photoshop and digital photography were invented, David went from being a photographer to an image-maker. He now has a sub-specialty in restoring family photographs – which he loves to do. David had one previous show at the Carlyle Hotel featuring The Gates in very large 180-degree panoramas – up to 12 feet long and 24 inches high – two of which are slated to be in this show.

“I love capturing how light illuminates the world, whimsical subjects and the occasional satire.”

Boo boo antics and the best voice over artist on YouTube by far. As someone who has worked in post production in film including sound , the fade in and fade out effect of the dog running off screen is top notch and makes everthing even funnier.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Another “practice” shot from train window on Hudson line train to Beacon NY…particularly satisfies with this as I had about 1 second to anticipate the composition.

On my way to Walkill NY retreat house on the Hudson line train. Got these through the train window.
