David Spindel
Born August 31, 1941, David M. Spindel grew up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.
Post graduation, he worked as an assistant for several photographers in New York City. He opened his own New York City studio in 1970. He was soon in demand by leading advertising agencies. The work poured in and his reputation grew steadily.
Assignments for Major League Baseball were the catalyst for the next body of work that evolved as Spindel’s signature style. He went on to create numerous baseball posters that sell worldwide and at The National Baseball Hall of Fame. He was commissioned for limited edition projects with: Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, and many others.
John Lennon and Yoko Ono hired Spindel to photograph their Double Fantasy recording session. Spindel’s photographs have been published in numerous books, and licensed for cd’s, videos, documentary films, posters, and the Why Hunger/Bermuda Tapes App. David was deeply honored when Yoko reproduced his photographs of John on a CD cover and back cover titled “JOHN LENNON ACOUSTIC.” There were also some additional photos in the booklet that accompanied this CD.
