David McMillan is a Scottish-born Canadian photographer who began his career as a painter, receiving an M.F.A. in painting from the University of Wisconsin in 1973. An interest in the tension between the natural and the built environment led him to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where he has photographed regularly since 1994. McMillan has exhibited internationally, and his grant and awards include multiple Manitoba Arts Council Visual Arts “A” Grants, two Established Artist Grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Banff Centre’s Barbara Spohr Award.
