In recent years, David Drebin has evolved into a multidisciplinary artist to complement his art photography prodigy. His revolutionary photo sculptures harness 3D imaging technology and provide one-of-a-kind pieces that bring his mysterious muses and alluring femme fatales to life “catching them in the act.” Onlookers will revel in the movement and are invited to explore all angles of Drebin’s cinematic scenes through an intricate process. “Glitter Girl” photo sculptures are stunning iterations of David’s signature femme fatale photography in a series of jewel-like colors. Sensual and dreamy, each piece is handmade and uniquely created. After graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York City in 1996, David Drebin rapidly made a name for himself as an internationally renowned photographer creating images of movie stars, sports personalities and various entertainers and subsequently was commissioned for countless high profile advertising campaigns around the world. In a unique manner, David Drebin’s work combines voyeuristic and psychological viewpoints. He offers the viewer a dramatic insight into emotions and experiences which many of us have doubtlessly felt at some point in our lives. Drebin’s photographs are epic, dramatic and, above all, cinematic and have been collected around the world. In a unique and opulent way, Drebin stages femme fatales against the gigantic backdrops of cities such as Hong Kong, New York and Paris. The panorama of the big cities, which, due to their format, are a tribute to cinema, serve as cinematic settings.
