Biography
David Fischer grew up watching his mother take photographs. It was her influence and guidance that eventually prompted him take the camera into his own hands and begin studying photography at an early age. In 1989 he took his studies to Rochester Institute of Technology where he began to diverge from traditional photography by physically cutting up, scratching and drawing on negatives. While learning the skills of commercial photography, he also took many classes in the art of digital retouching. Once David learned Photoshop it opened up a new world of freedom to manipulate images and begin his journey as a digital collage artist. He then received his MFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design where he focused primarily on photographic digital manipulation. There he began to develop his own visual style while enjoying the process of piecing together images into cohesive surreal landscapes. While a student he began working in SCAD's web development department as a web designer. Eventually he became the Art Director for SCAD overseeing the design of the college's website and production. David then fell in love with the culture and opportunities for digital retouching in Los Angeles where he is currently working as a freelance retoucher/compositor.
