David Jeffrey Carol (born August 23, 1958) is the editor-in-chief of Peanut Press, which he co-founded with Ashly Stohl, and the author of a number of photography books.[1] He is the former Director of Photography at Outfront Media and was a contributing editor and writer for Photo District News' Emerging Photographer series.[2] He was also a writer at Rangefinder Magazine, authoring a column entitled "Photo Finish."[3]

Biography

[edit]

Carol grew up in Jericho, New York and later attended the School of Visual Arts and The New School for Social Research where he studied under Lisette Model.[4]

Carol's first book, 40 Miles of Bad Road... (2004), a collection of photographs from 1993 to 2003, and second book, All My Lies are True... (2009), were each selected as "Best Book of the Year" by Photo District News.[5] His third 'book', "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things!" (2011), was in fact a collection of photographs stored inside a lucite box, a contraption which Carol calls a "non-book."[6] His fourth book, No Plan B (2016), was a retrospective of 32 black-and-white photographs published in conjunction with his 2017 exhibition at the Leica Gallery in SoHo.[7]
