Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates David Solomons (born 31 December 1965) is a British street photographer. He is known for his photographs in London, where he has made a trilogy of self-published books: Underground (2009), Up West (2015) and Kippers and Curtains (2018).

Up West was shown in a solo exhibition at Third Floor Gallery, Cardiff, in 2010 and his work is held in the collection of the Museum of London.

Life and work

Solomons studied documentary photography at the University of South Wales in Newport between 1993 and 1996. During this period he changed from primarily photographing in black and white to the colour work he is mostly known for. His first major piece of work, Underground, depicting people using the London Underground, was completed during his studies in Newport but not published for fifteen years.

He was a member of the In-Public street photography collective, having joined in 2008.
