about grace david

Grace David is a creative photojournalist who works to capture every moment in truth and vibrant color through photography, writing, and design. She believes that every moment, both unique and ordinary, is a story worth telling.

​

In the last decade, Grace has shared many stories through her photography and will continue to explore what stories the world has to share, camera in hand. Over the years, she has developed expertise in portraiture, sports, travel, and event photography. Every day is history, and Grace wants to use this expertise to record it artfully. 

​

Today, in addition to her photojournalism venture, Grace works as a visual designer and photographer for North Way Christian Community, a non-denominational church based in Pittsburgh. She has been on the creative team since August 2024.

​

While at Grove City College, where she graduated in 2024, Grace spent most of her time outside of class behind the lens, capturing campus life and sporting events for the college’s marketing-communications department and student newspaper, the Collegian. Her editorial role as Photo Chief for the Collegian allowed her to organize other students to bring in additional photography, design her weekly photo spread, and provide art for the entire newspaper.

​

In the Summer of 2023, Grace accepted an opportunity to be a photojournalist intern reporter for The Center Square. Here, she reported on local, state, and federal government news and captured staple photography in rotation today. In June of that year, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette republished her article on the modernization of a Pennsylvania public assistance program. While an intern photojournalist, she followed the EMT crisis in Pennsylvania and published a photo-based report.

​

In 2024, she was awarded first place in feature photography for the Keystone Student Media awards for her photo “Doing the Lord's work, the Lord's way." This photo, published on the front page of the Collegian in 2023, depicts a Grove City College student being baptized in the waters of a Tucson, Arizona reservoir on an Inter-Community Outreach mission trip. 

​

On March 19, 2024, the Wall Street Journal published Grace's portrait of Resense co-founder, Luke Gilligan, in the article "U.S. No Longer Ranks Among World's 20 Happiest Countries" by Clare Ansberry. 

​

At GCC, Grace enjoyed nothing more than to capture the different perspectives of college life, especially in athletics. But the Wolverines’ football team has seen the shutter of Grace’s camera more than any other sport. Grace hopes to one day continue her career in professional sports photography.
