Henry Horenstein has often been called “Perhaps one of the greatest photographers of his generation,” with a diverse career, from documentary photography to portraiture, spanning an impressive 5 decades to date and counting…
Born in Massachusetts in 1947, Horenstein studied under photography legends Harry Callahan, Minor White and Aaron Siskind, graduating in 1973. He speaks of the influence Callahan had on him: “Harry encouraged me to ‘Shoot what you love,’ and to pay no attention to what others are doing. ‘Even if you make bad pictures - you’ll have a good time.’ Thank you for that, Harry.”
Horenstein is an Artist, Photographer, Professor of Photography and Author who has written over 35 photography books and monographs. His photography has been exhibited in galleries and museums both nationally and internationally, including the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.; the International Museum of Photography, George Eastman House, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Fabrik der Kunste, Hamburg, Germany. His photographs are included in many public and private collections including the Library of Congress, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Smithsonian Institution's National Museum and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia.
