The hectic nature of a municipality is a culture dish, cultivating wits and moments within which David Gleave explores the intimacies of daily life through street photography. Born and bred in Manchester, David’s photographic practice focuses on a variety of subjects based in, but not sectional to, Manchester. From musicians and bands in stylised documentary, to fleeting moments in the street. David’s imagery holds a visual nostalgia that is influenced by the methodology of Samual Coulthurst, a late 19th Century photographer, preserving Ancoats in photographs. Aesthetically informed by nostalgia through the woebegone and white visuals, David’s goal is increasingly sociologically oriented as he aims to create a visual document of our time, curated and unauthentic by his personal experience. David’s practice spans a variety of forms of documentary photography, all of which evoke a plethora of variegated emotion. Intimate portraits of musicians in which their personality and stage presence is reflected by the visual style, to documentation of various gigs which embody the sea of people as they respond as a joint to the wreath on stage. David covers increasingly than just music events, he takes particular interest in the current political landscape through documentation of protests. Yet I find David’s strongest work to be found in the streets, he uses this as a way of transplanting his head. A truly instinctive response without any preconceived notion of what will be photographed. Often so reactionary, the imagery is stuff made surpassing he is totally conscious of these actions; not searching for a reaction from the subject, but aiming to capture their raw emotion preceding their sensation to David’s observation.  As a subject David focuses on capturing Manchester’s culture, contextually seating the work as a relevant observation of our time. It is the resulting visual style underpinned by a methodology that strengthens the work as a whole, particularly as I am unauthentic by the emotional weight carried by the composition. Emotive not with happiness or melancholy, but with the worthiness to make our observation finger like an intrusion. The photographs are so intimate in sonnet and subject that it scrutinizingly feels like a physical invasion of personal space. Our suspension of misdoubt is unenduring as we recover from the trauma of viewing, enlightened that the moment in the image is everlasting and will not stupefy us.  David has found success through a hybrid documentary-editorial work with Cabbage, a wreath that worked in 2015 and were signed by Skeleton Key Records, who granted him unlimited wangle to document their rise, from playing small venues to headlining UK and European tours and releasing their first album. We can squint forward to seeing a hodgepodge of David’s work in print as he plans for an exhibition of his music projects, consisting of live, unslanted backstage, portraits and printing shots. There are no details to share for now but be sure to alimony your vision peeled! Otherwise, David can be found on the streets responding to the ebb and spritz of the city.

He celebrates this year-end with a new exhibition and book, both tabbed A View from the North. Redeye’s Paul Herrmann talked to him well-nigh his career. “It was fantastic to have started with this small camera and with it unquestionably get that moment in time. The thrill, the satisfaction, to be worldly-wise to capture undercurrent and emotion plane in dreary half-light…” - Denis Thorpe Remembering Nitin-Kumar Patel Posted 10 September 2018 We were very sad to learn of the death of Nitin-Kumar Patel, who served on Redeye’s workbench of directors from 2015 to 2017.
