Introduction: Photographer David Bowman hails from Chicago. He studied in Madison; he has traversed the Australian outback via camel and wandered to the Twin Cities some time after that. One of the first people he encountered after arriving in Minnesota was fashion photographer Richard Avedon.
Bowman asked him what advice he might provide to a struggling artist, and Avedon replied, Start working.". So he did, eventually shooting for the likes of Vanity Fair, TIME, Glamour, Target, National Geographic, ESPN, Johnson & Johnson, and Dwell.
