My subjects are newsmakers: Actors who have starred in Academy Award-winning movies, Olympic gold medalists, book authors, runway fashion models, titans of business, U.S. Surgeon General, and two astronauts. I am an active member of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television & Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).
A few days before I met David Dastmalchian, I watched him star in the new CBS television show CSI: Cyber. His portrayal of the character Logan was haunting.
Among his many credits are The Dark Knight, Prisoners, Intruders and The Employer.
Look for David in Under the Pyramid and Marvel'sAnt-Man, presently in post-production, and being released in 2015. David has now written and starred in a newly-released movie, Animals, which The New York Times featured in this article.Co-starring with David is Kim Shaw, who is superb as Bobbie. You may also read Roger Ebert's review here.
Although David's personality is warm and demonstrative, and his smile engaging, he told me he prefers to be photographed in a more serious fashion. I photographed him this way, and with his uninhibited smile.
