Painted by Daveed Benito Poster - 24" x 36"

Born in Santa Fe, raised in Albuquerque New Mexico - Daveed Benito is someone who you wouldn't have been able to tell is a photographer upon first meeting, but as you begin to talk with him you realize that you are speaking to an artist of a special expertise.  His story isn't that of a "career inspired from youth" type of tale, but one of taking control of his destiny by finding a way out of Albuquerque. After 5 years in the Airforce, which he had a first hand experience in different cultures of the world, he gathered inspiration as a photographer to create without limitations, thus opening his workspace up to limitless possibilities. His main goal is for his photos to be regarded as artwork from the capture right down to the unique way he wraps his photos in canvas.
