David Sokosh was raised in Bethel, Connecticut, the son of two amateur photographers. As a result, he began taking pictures at an early age. Sokosh has been photographing architecture since he spent a summer in Europe after graduating from Western Connecticut State University in 1989 with a BA in Photography. He settled in Brooklyn, New York that fall.
By 1991 he had become interested in the Polaroid Transfer process and received a number of grants from the Polaroid Corporation, culminating in a 20x24-studio grant in 1992, and inclusion in their permanent collection.
This led to participation in a group show entitled Colore Sfumati at Robin Rice Gallery in 1993, where he showed a selection of Polaroid Transfers.
By 1994 a contact at Bergdorf Goodman led to a number of exhibitions in their spaces, the most successful being a solo show at Bergdorf Goodman Men, of 35 architectural images in 1996.
In 1995 he signed with Graphistock, a stock photography agency in New York. He also began a series of successful, private salons at home, to sell his own prints.
1996 saw the purchase of a townhouse in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. This was the beginning of a ten-year restoration project.
By 1999 David completed his darkroom and studio in Brooklyn, allowing printing to resume on a backlog of material.
He first visited Provincetown in the 1970s and now divides his time between Brooklyn and Provincetown. His project Provincetown Lines a study of the relationship between power lines and architecture began in 2001. Forty Eight images from this series have recently been published in a book by St. James Workshop. |
