He is responsible for some of the most important photo editing of our time and has led some of the most important photography teams journalism has ever assembled.

He teaches advanced storytelling classes, runs the Alexia Foundation Grants competition and creates special initiatives while continuing to work with photographers the world over as a picture editor.Before taking his post at Syracuse, Davis was a full-time independent picture editor who worked with photographers to elevate their photography for portfolios, projects, gallery shows, books and contest and grant submissions. Projects he edited during this period were recognized at Perpignan's festival, LOOK3, were published widely and won many of the world's major competitions.
