Since graduating from the Parsons School of Design in 1996, Toronto-born photographer David Drebin has made a name for himself as a visionary ad creator, editorial artist and fashion photographer. Based in New York, Drebin’s independent work has been broadly exhibited in Europe and the United States at venues such as the Fahey Gallery in LA, Camerawork in Berlin and Young Gallery in Brussels. His portfolio includes celebrity portraits as diverse as Charlize Theron, Fergie, and 50 Cent to Ad campaigns for Conde Nast Fashion Rocks, MTV, Mercedes and Adidas.

Drebin’s world is lush and glamorous. His latest compilation of internationally-shot works, Love and Other Stories, is crowded with women of extravagant beauty inside and out thinking and feeling in locations from Capetown to Rio. These scenes never fail to unleash the desired effect – an emotional response. Drebin states: “for me, the most gripping photographs are funny and sexy, sexy and sad or some kind of combination of the three.”
