David I Muir

David I. Muir is a photo-artist living in South Florida. He has a special love for candid, cultural and lifestyle photography – signature components of his photo art exhibitions. He excels at capturing a whole story through his lens, which often emits strong emotion from viewers of his work. Muir's work has qualified for juried art contests as well as group and solo fine arts exhibitions. In particular, his critically acclaimed photo collection, Pieces of Jamaica was celebrated and led to national and international tours of his photo art.

In 2012, the collection, "Pieces Of Jamaica™," which captures the candid beauty of the Jamaican people and its rich and diverse landscape, was published as Pieces of Jamaica™: The Real Rock Edition. The book features vivid photographs displaying Jamaica's rustic reality juxtaposed with spirited humanity and an intrinsic beauty found in its people.

Muir's 2015 collection, "Portraitic Perspectives," speaks to The Color of Beauty – a story not commonly told. He succeeds at displaying REAL as BEAUTIFUL, striking with his lens against pressures for retouched images that permeate magazines, billboards and social media. Muir is diligent in his efforts to capture his subjects' true essence. He stands for real and natural, and delights in challenging ... even redefining ... preconceived notions of beauty.

Muir has worked in the music business since the 1980s and remains committed to promoting Jamaican Reggae music. In 2016, his collection, "Performance Perspectives" displays the culmination of his two loves, Music and Photography. With this collection, Muir works to reveal the artistry of performance through his mastery of available light photography. He cherishes the challenge of using unpredictable and variant light sources during concerts and other live performances to create images which describe the moment artistically.
