bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>Dr. David A. Fullard (born 1958 in New York City) is a Black photographer, professor, and former corrections supervisor. Fullard received a bachelor of fine arts in Liberal Arts from the School of Visual Arts, two master's degrees, and a doctorate in Forensic Psychology and Forensic Behavioral Science from the Union Institute.</p> <p>Fullard worked concurrently as a photographer specializing in portraiture, photojournalism, and dance while also working in corrections from the 1970s to the 1990s. He worked at Rikers Island for thirty years, retiring from corrections in 2011. Fullard's initial interest in photography came from his focus on capturing bodies in motion. He started photographing athletes participating in various sports but switched to dance after seeing dance sequences in musicals. He saw the athleticism and emotion of dancers and wanted to capture those moments with photography.</p> <p>Fullard worked mainly in studios with ballet, modern, and traditional dancers and dance companies. His work includes photographs of Erick Hawkins Dance Company, Balletfore, Eleo Pomare Dance Company, José Coronado, A. A. Gde Anom, and Lori Belilove. His photography has appeared in <span class=\"title\">The New York Times</span>, <span class=\"title\">The Village Voice</span>, <span class=\"title\">Black Mask</span>, <span class=\"title\">Dance Magazine</span>, <span class=\"title\">Arabesque Magazine</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Industrial Photography</span>, books, and exhibits.</p> <p>As of 2023, Fullard is an Associate Professor at SUNY Empire State College teaching courses in psychology and the behavioral sciences.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Bibliography</p> <p>Library of Congress. \"David Fullard: The Art of Photographing Dance.\" Filmed June 2021.
