David Degner Photography
About
David Degner is a Somerville photographer working with editorial, commercial and portrait clients across New England and New York. He is drawn to places where people are building, researching and figuring things out, and he spends much of his time in labs, hospitals, factories, campuses and on city streets, making images that show how work actually gets done. Alongside still photography he offers motion work, and his clients include communications teams, brand agencies and publication picture desks.
His background is in photojournalism. Before returning to Boston he spent nearly a decade based in Cairo, covering uprisings, religion and everyday life across the Middle East and North Africa, and editing a photojournalism magazine that mentored local photographers. That mix of fieldwork and editing shapes his approach: he thinks about narrative, pacing and layout, delivering coherent sets of images clients can build stories and campaigns around, not just strong single frames.
