David Graham (born 1952, Abington, Pennsylvania) is an American artist photographer and professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. He currently lives and works in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Embracing popular forms of American photography (the snapshot, family portrait, and vacation photo), David Graham explores contemporary culture through the idiosyncratic nature of the American landscape. His work is in many collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York City; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; the International Center of Photography, New York City; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
