Resume



With a background in painting and commercial photography Art embraced the digital world and replaced his view camera and darkroom for Photoshop and the "digital darkroom" for the past 20 years. During that time Art was (and continues to be) involved with digital imaging in all its many forms - as a digital photographer shooting in studio for many clients in Manhattan; retouching for top international clients; and printing digitally for photo luminaries such as Robert Frank, Bruce Weber, Ron Haviv, etc. Prior to the "digital revolution" Art's client list ranged from Fortune 500 companies and the major television and cable companies to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Smithsonian Magazine.


Art has always been interested in the past, focusing his camera on the long abandoned Ellis Island (before renovation), a year long study of the Cloisters (for the Metropolitan Museum of Art), industrial archeological studies of New York and other abandoned sites throughout the Northeast. And, in his newest leap into a most distant past, inspired by nature, his latest project studies 380 million year old fossils found in abundance around his home in Catskill, New York.
