A new exhibit by photographer David Silverman is up at the Pitman Street BankRI Gallery.
Known for his sports photography, with clients that include the Patriots and the athletics departments of Brown University, Bryant, MIT and Yale, Silverman began to travel to far off locations to try his hand at wilderness photography.
His first trip was to Alaska, his models grizzly bears. Then he was off to Africa and the wildlife preserves in Kenya and Tanzania. Lions, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, and hippopotamus were his inspiration; the Serengeti and Masai Mara his landscape. The exotic locale and unusual subject matter combined to give Silverman a new opportunity to communicate what he sees.
