David Oxton began his photography career working for design and editorial clients in the Boston area. Along the way, he also became a photography teacher. He has been teaching photography for over 2 decades.

His most recent photo project, Trackside, is a collection of photos made in backyards and stations alongside the commuter rail lines that stretch north from Boston. Influenced by the work of the photographer O. Winston Link, who affectionately captured scenes of steam trains passing through small towns in the 1950’s, Oxton is attempting to produce updated scenes of life affected by commuter trains passing through small cities and towns in Massachusetts.

David lives in Beverly, Massachusetts, teaches in the Newburyport area, and photographs nearly everywhere.
