David Nieves

David Nieves is a native New Yorker and former New York City Police Homicide Detective. He made his transition from sleuth to writer when he began publishing magazine articles about the life and work of Pulitzer Prize photographer Nat Fein. His latest feature article is included in LensWork Magazine titled Stepping Away From the Obvious. Nieves also exhibits his own photography at galleries in the New York metropolitan area.

Nieves' love of photography stems from a long and endearing relationship with Nat Fein who had become a second father to him. Upon Fein's death in 2000, Nieves was left to manage Fein's interests along with what is described by many, as some of the greatest journalistic photography of the twentieth century. After listening to countless narrations of Nat Fein's newspaper exploits over the years and researching thousands of his images, David Nieves decided to share these remarkable stories.
