About

Dave Wyatt

b. Bristol, 1979

Dave Wyatt is a Documentary Photographer from the UK whose images focus on the relationship we as humans have with our environment.  The goal of Dave’s work is not to pass judgment as much as to raise questions about the nature of the delicate relationship we maintain with the landscape.

Dave gained his MA in International Photojournalism, Documentary Photography and Travel Photography from the University of Bolton undertaken at Dalian Medical University in Dalian, China, and his BA degree from the renowned school of Documentary in Newport, South Wales.  His work has been exhibited in both national and international galleries, museums and festivals including The National Gallery in Pristina, Kosovo, the Chobi Mela IV festival in Bangladesh, the Ian Parry Awards 2006 exhibition in London, the Riverfront Centre in Newport, South Wales and The Royal West of England Academy, Bristol.  He has also had images published in a variety of books and magazines editorially and accepts commercial assignments on a regular basis.
