Production Line is my first Monograph. It looks at my career timeline and is split into 4 time periods, the 1990s, 2000s, 2009 and 2018. These marked specific points in my career where my photographic projects directly influenced the type of photographic commissions I received. Seeing both the project and commissioned work together in this book demonstrates how it is possible to sustain a long career as a photographer by constantly producing new imagery. It is also stands as a marker in time of how the use of photography in the advertising and design world has changed over the last 30 Years.

Biography

David Stewart began his career by photographing punk bands including The Clash and the Ramones. He also took to photographing the passing parade of colourful characters on Morecambe Promenade with squirrel monkeys Joey and Queenie. This early work directly influenced his now recognisable style. After graduating at Blackpool and The Fylde College, Stewart moved to London in 1981, rapidly establishing himself as one of the UK’s most highly accomplished photographers.
