New York Photographer, writer, and creative technologist

I'm Dave Krugman, a New York City based photographer, digital artist, and content creator. For more than a decade I've made campaign work for camera and technology companies, automotive and travel brands, and I love to tell these stories to the wide audiences I've built around creative work on Instagram, X, and Threads. If you want to tell your story to the world, we should talk.

Three ways to work together.

01

Commercial and product photography, and short films

I create visual stories that command attention on social networks, helping individuals and brands communicate to their audiences more authentically. With stills, videos, and compelling copy and calls to action, work with me to build narratives that resonate deeply.

02

Creator partnerships and brand content

As on camera talent, I can also help to launch campaigns, engage in long-term ambassador work, and publish sponsored content across Instagram, X, and Threads. I do product reviews, editorial interviews, travel coverage, and field tests of products and experiences. I love the complex beauty of the world and I'm good at showing that passion to others.

03

Creative technology

I am invigorated by the challenge of frontier technologies, and I've stayed ahead of the curve on each paradigm shifting network layer. Recently, AI tools have become part of my daily practice: building out creative infrastructure, generative art, onchain projects, and custom software built with agents. I partner with AI companies on launches, case studies, films, hackathons, and workshops that show what these tools do in the hands of a working artist.
