Ken Weissblum’s photography education has been enhanced by taking workshops at such facilities as the International Center for Photography and the Woodstock Center for Photography, as well as studying with individual mentors.
His training and practice as a psychoanalyst facilitate free associations that are reflected in his images.
Weissblum’s work attempts to expose his audiences to new visual experiences. He focuses on graphical elements, shapes, textures, light, and shadows.
His award-winning work has appeared internationally in solo and group shows, galleries and museums, numerous photography magazines and other publications, photography websites, and private collections.
