David Knox has traveled throughout the American South documenting the region for 30 years. He specializes in 19th century photo processes and digital collage. His current work combines his photography with historic imagery to create large scale, multi layered photomontages in the realm of historical fiction. These pieces, through visual storytelling, explore the lives of those who inhabit this arcane netherworld set somewhere in the mid 19th century South. Knox completed his MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2005 and his work has been shown in galleries and museums throughout the South including The Ogden Museum of Southern Art. In 2019 he was awarded the Fine Art Photographer of the Year by the International Photography Awards and his series, The Lost Prophets​, won first place in the digital collage category. He was also selected as a finalist in the LensCulture Visual Storytelling Awards. In 2018 he won the Louisiana Contemporary Best in Show and Helis Foundation Art Prize. He has taught continuing education since 1996.
