Born in Cologne, David Bank moved to West Berlin during the cold war in 1979 as a child. He studied architecture in Berlin. Work and internships in France, Brazil and the USA followed. From 2005 and 2018 he lived in London before moving back to Berlin where he practices as an architect.

David shoots bold, impactful images of the built environment. His eye for architectural form lends great power to his pictures. His approach is innovative making effective use of unusual angles and viewpoints to present new takes on iconic locations. He particularly likes to photograph during the 'Blue Hour' at twilight. He occasionally offers tutorials on architectural photography.
