David Maisel Studio is a United States-based practice focused on aerial photography and image-based projects that explore sites affected by environmental factors. The work combines documentary approaches with metaphorical interpretations, examining themes across projects such as The Lake Project, Terminal Mirage, The Mining Project, and Oblivion, and more recently photographing copper canisters containing cremated ashes from a psychiatric hospital, where mineral encrustations form on the can surfaces. The practice aims to reveal subjects that are typically unseen or concealed, highlighting the material properties of photography through images where minerals, water, and dust assume new forms. While small in size, the studio operates within the artists and writers sector, engaging with audiences that value contemplative, environment-focused photographic work. Based in the United States, the studio concentrates on long-running photographic investigations that intersect environmental impact and materiality, without detailing commercial or financial aspects.
