David Brittain has been active in photography as a curator, critic, documentary maker, lecturer and as editor of the respected international magazine, Creative Camera (1991-2001). He has contributed to a wide range of publications and has been involved in the production of various documentaries for BBC TV programmes such as “The Late Show” and the “Decisive Moments” series. In 2000 his anthology of writings, “Creative Camera: Thirty Years of Writing” was published by Manchester University Press.
In 2002 David was awarded an AHRC Fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts to research the subject of photography and the self-published magazine.

David’s research has become directed towards mapping an “artist’s press” that would encompass the artist’s magazine – but also acknowledge other magazines to which artists have contributed significantly.
