Long-term Portobello resident and internationally acclaimed photographer David Williams has been making work on the promenade for many years. This exhibition consists of images selected from his ongoing series, The Promenader – a kind of visual lyric poem, intended for eventual publication in book form.
David Williams was born in Edinburgh in 1952. He studied English and Sociology before becoming a professional musician and songwriter. He took up photography in 1980 and his work has been widely exhibited and published internationally. Williams is the recipient of a range of major awards and prizes including the BBC Television 150 Years of Photography Award. In 2018 he was nominated for the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy.
Williams became Head of Photography at Edinburgh College of Art in 1990 and was appointed Reader in 2003. He retired from ECA in 2017.
