Bio

David Degner is a Boston portrait photographer working at the intersection of editorial and commercial photography. Based in Boston and New York, he works with select companies and organizations to document the people behind their missions — capturing the conviction, passion, and purpose that drive meaningful work.
His editorial portraiture has appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Der Spiegel, and Le Monde, among other national and international publications. On the commercial side, he collaborates with corporations, nonprofits, research institutions, and professional organizations to produce portraits and documentary photography that tell authentic stories.
Whether photographing executives, scientists, artists, or activists, David’s approach is grounded in the belief that the best portraits reveal something true — about who a person is and what they stand for. For inquiries about portrait sessions, corporate photography, or editorial assignments in the Boston and New York areas, contact David at David@daviddegner.com.
