Daniel Debevoise was born and raised in South America (Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) as an embassy brat and spent his formative years in Rome, Italy. You will see this international influence in his photographs.
After many years abroad, Daniel returned to the U.S.A. to enlist in the U.S. Air Force. After receiving an Honorable Discharge, he attended Columbia University, graduating in communications arts. He then went to USC Graduate Film School concentrating on photographic applications in film.
After his studies, Daniel went back to his roots and became a special features photographer for Vistazo, the Ecuadorian equivalent of Life Magazine. He focused on native Ecuadorian life and arts as well as outdoor landscapes for travel features on Ecuador’s natural splendors.
He returned to the U.S., becoming a staff photographer for the New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs, photographing museum exhibits, openings & receptions for the media for internationally renowned artists at major New York City museums.
Daniel was offered a coveted photographer position for the Associated Press, UPI & ANSA in Rome, Italy where he shot events such as museum exhibits, fashion shows, Roman antiquity, urban landscapes for special features on travel and tourism, Pope John Paul II and Vatican events. His work with the international news agencies caught the eye of D’Agostini di Novarra, the Italian equivalent of encyclopedia Britannica, where he became their commercial photographer.
Daniel has set up his U.S. studio in NoHo, where he feels the arts are fully represented. He is currently concentrating on assisting the arts through his photography. He has photographed receptions, events and installations for El Portal Theatre, LAVA (Los Angeles Visual Artists) and local festivals and has done several product shots, movie openings and CD covers. He is also a Special Contributor to NoHoArtsDistrict.Com.
He is dedicated to “photography as an art form.” Daniel’s latest project is a photographic autobiography of his travels and adventures as well as an urban landscape book focusing on the beauty of Los Angeles’ many ethnic neighborhoods.
