David H. Lyman

 
 

. . . . a storyteller, visionary, photographer, filmmaker, writer, adventurer, entrepreneur, sailor and artists’ mentor.


David H. Lyman founded The Maine Photographic Workshops in 1973, he built and ran that world renowned summer school for 33 years. He founded The International Film Workshops in 1975, and in 1996, he established an innovative conservatory for the world’s storytellers and image-makers that is now Rockport College. David owned and ran these three institutions for more than 30 years  before turning them over to a non-profit organization in March 2007. David, who has been lecturing and writing on how to reinvent oneself, is now doing just that. He is establishing workshop learning center in locations around the world, on the islands of Mallorca, Crete, in Liverpool, UK, and in Cairo.


David was an award-winning US Navy photojournalist in Vietnam in 1967, then a photographer-writer for skiing and adventure magazines before setting up his summer schools in the small fishing village of Rockport, Maine. Prior to that he was a music producer, founder and manager of the Moon ‘Cusser Coffee House on Martha’s Vineyard (1962), a radio personality and producer.  Over the last 30-plus years, his writing, lectures and mentoring, along with the three institutions he created have helped tens of thousands of artists, photographers, filmmakers and writers change their lives, discover their true destiny and lead more creative and rewarding lives and careers. Today, David continues to explore and write about the creative life. He lectures and conducts workshops world-wide for other media professionals through his new organization: Media Workshops International.
