Photography

edit

A resident of Southern California, Davis creates black and white photos of the landscape that contradict the expected Southern California image.[4] Shooting primarily at night, Davis' photographs frequently depict desert or semi-industrialized locations in Southern California, showcasing the vast and empty qualities of the surroundings.[5]
