- Bio
Donald Blumberg is an established American photographer recognized for images that push the conceptual boundaries of street and landscape photography, newspaper and television imagery, and portraiture. Trained in science, he turned to photography after completing a biology degree and moving to New York City. He was particularly interested in compositional experimentation, pushing standard understandings of photographic perception, space, and perspective. By the mid-1960s, his photographs were included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and the George Eastman House. He taught photography at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where these photographs were made, from 1965 through 1981. He taught at the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles from 1981 to 1990.
