David Stewart started his career photographing the passing parade of colourful characters on Morecambe Promenade with squirrel monkeys Joey and Queenie which directly influenced his now recognisable style.

In 1995 he directed and produced a short film "Cabbage" which was nominated for a BAFTA. Accompanying the film is a series of surrealist photographic images in tribute to the much maligned vegetable.

In 2001 he published a body of work titled "Fogeys" comprising of kitsch, cartoon-like photographs of people growing old disgracefully. "Fogeys" won a Silver Award at the Art Directors Club of New York.

In 2009 the project “Thrice Removed” was published. While still singular and mischievous, the book includes works that are more muted in colour and personal in tone.

His recent project, "In-decisions" return once again to the surreal with providing an intriguing study of young women and their relationship with food.

Stewart is currently working on the project “Teenage Pre-occupation” which takes a look at teenagers and the changes they go through
