== Career ==
David Levine started his career in 1977 while working as a photographer's assistant. He went on to photograph artists live in concert including [[Iggy Pop]] live at the Music Machine London and worked as a stills photographer on music videos with the director [[Tim Pope]]. As well as working with [[Culture Club]], Levine also worked with a number of other 1980s acts including [[ABC (band)|ABC]], [[The Cure]], [[Kylie Minogue]], [[Jermaine Jackson]], [[Five Star|5 Star]], and [[Siouxsie Sioux]].{{cn|date=April 2024}} Levine quickly established a style of work in the studio, which was much copied by other music and fashion photographers in the '80s{{cn|date=April 2024}} and indeed today his influence can still be seen.{{cn|date=April 2024}} That style and work ethic (Levine shot virtually every day in the 80s) earned him the nickname 'The man who shot the 80's'.{{cn|date=April 2024}} Always filming throughout his stills career, his music videos are as typically stylish and gritty as his stills. Levine's work in both stills and film achieves a style unique to him.{{cn|date=April 2024}}
Levine was invited to lecture at the University of Arts London, London College of Fashion in 2014 where he continues to lecture on Fashion Photography while continuing with his busy photography and film career.

Levine has never won any awards for his work, and is on the record as saying “I don’t do this to get awards, I do it so I know I’m ok at what I do.” Not ever one to compromise, Levine puts friendship ahead of anything.{{cn|date=April 2024}}
