From his website
David Collyer FRPS is a South Wales based photographer. He discovered a passion for
telling a story through images as a teenager, spending time with the press photographers
and journalists on a local paper in Surrey edited by his father.
As a documentary photographer who works predominantly on long term projects, he
returned to shooting film a few years ago, preferring a sixty-year-old Leica and the
anticipation of what he's captured, to modern digital cameras.
His work has been published internationally, and has appeared in magazines and
newspapers, as well as the book All in a Day's Work, documenting hospital staff during the
Covid-19 pandemic. The book is in the collection of the British Library and The National
Museum of Wales.
His photo of a shattered theatre practitioner appeared on the front page of The Guardian and
was one of Amateur Photographer magazine's photos of the year in 2020. He is currently
working on a further two books, and is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, as well
as being named Documentary Photographer of the Year 2021. David is a member of the F/8
Documentary group of photographers.
