As a musician and coming from a musical and creative family, David Aimone look to make artistic images though photography. The photographer works mostly with natural light, to find the beauty in subjects from people to landscapes.  Using old lenses, various types of film, and exploring image production through techniques from digital manipulation through digital negatives to handcrafted prints are all part of his repertoire. As far as beauty is concerned, it can be found in the subject itself, the lighting which renders the subject, the textures in the images, or the patterns that make up the image.  One of the main goals is to portray a subject or a theme in a way that is not common or expected, through those aspects of beauty.

The blending of old and new, as well as traditional photography and other art forms, is something David Aimone also very interested in.  This began with shooting and developing film, continued with large format and the use of old, sometimes “imperfect” lenses (by modern standards).  He is attracted to soft focus images and pictorialism. Pinhole and zone plate cameras continued taking him in this direction, and is now exploring alternative methods of printing on hand-coated paper. David and his wife Ellen live in Saratoga Springs, NY and love to travel.

The photographer's most recent work includes large contact prints on hand coated paper using the Kallitype method and toned with Palladium and Gold. Additionally, encaustics are used to give the images additional depth and transluseceny as well as sometimes adding texture.

David Aimone lives in upstate New York with his wife Ellen.
