Dave Schubert (died in January 2023) was an American professional photographer recognized for his photographs of skateboarding and graffiti.[1][2][3]

Life and career

Dave Schubert received his first camera when he was six years old, a gift from his father.[4] His father was in the Air Force, resulting in Schubert moving often as a child.[5]

Moving to San Francisco to go to school, Schubert began submitting photographs to Slap magazine in the 1990s.[4] Focusing on the graffiti and skateboarding communities in the city, Schubert's images depict the San Francisco skateboarding and graffiti of the 1990s and early 2000s.[3] Throughout his life, Schubert maintained an interest in street culture and photography.[4]

Schubert started and published an acclaimed graffiti zine called Graffiti Document.[4][6] In addition to Slap, Schubert's photographs appeared in skateboard magazines and also American culture magazines including Mass Appeal.[7]

In 2006, Schubert participated in a group art show in Copenhagen, Denmark at V1 Gallery in conjunction with ARKITIP.[8] Schubert's work hung alongside a number of other artists including: CR Stecyk III, Don Pendleton, Ed Templeton, Geoff McFetridge, Harmen Lieburg, Kaws, Ryan Waller, Shepard Fairey, and Space Invader.[8] In 2022, Schubert participated in the "Power of Pablo" charity art show organized by the Pablo Ramirez Foundation, donating a photograph shown alongside other artists including Mark Gonzales, Sean Greene, Haroshi, and others.[9]
