David Hilliard creates large-scale multi-paneled color photographs, often based on his life or the lives of people around him. His panoramas direct the viewer’s gaze across the image surface allowing narrative, time and space to unfold. Hilliard received his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston and MFA from the Yale University School of Art, New Haven. He worked for many years as an assistant professor at Yale University where he also directed the undergraduate photo department. Hilliard currently teaches in Boston at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and Lesley Art + Design. He also leads photography workshops throughout the country.

Hilliard exhibits his photographs both nationally and internationally and has been the recipient of numerous awards such as the Fulbright Grant and Guggenheim Fellowship. His photographs can be found in many important collections including the Whitney Museum of American art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.C.. His work is widely published and is represented by the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York, Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, and The Schoolhouse Gallery in Provincetown, MA.
