Culinary Delights features the photographs of nationally acclaimed photographer David Halliday, who lives and works in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Born in Glen Cove New York in 1958, Halliday moved to New Orleans in the early 1990s to take a job as a chef.
His keen eye for formal relationships steered him in a different direction, however, and since 1992 he has been exhibiting photographs of people, places, and things.
Halliday’s early photographs are in a traditional format, mostly sepia-toned gelatin silver prints. More recently, he has been exploring digital color photography.
Although he has produced many landscape and portrait images, this exhibition focuses on his still life compositions using food, an appropriate subject for an artist who began his career as a chef.
In 2002, Halliday had a major retrospective of his work at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans.
His photographs are included in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
