David Rider

David Rider works as a professional photographer and educator with a passion to visually capture the human spirit in its range of texture and emotion. He works primarily in portrait, maritime, street, and sacred-space photography with a multicultural focus. David’s portraits take place amid natural or cityscape backgrounds to amplify the subject’s personal story.

David teaches photography at the Harvard Institute for Learning in Retirement (HILR). Classes include Street Photography and the Decisive Moment; Portrait Photography in Cultural Context; and, most recently, Advanced Photo Critique. All classes combine discussion of select topics with peer critique of each other’s photos.

As contract photographer for the national Episcopal Church, David recently completed a 5-week national assignment to capture outreach ministries with unhoused people, the food-insecure, and Borderland migrant families.
