Michael Seif Bio

I have been photographing for decades, in the streets of New York City in the 1960s, in Europe, India, throughout the United States and, most recently, nudes in water and in the environment.

I've learned photography in lectures, workshops, critiques, and by studying photographs themselves – at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the New School in NYC and with Larry Fink, Lisette Model, and many others.

My work has been shown in more than 40 juried group shows throughout the US, and in close to a dozen solo or featured-artist shows.
