Biography
Ken Weingart has been photographing portraits professionally for many years, and became interested in the world of art and fine art photography since developing film and prints in a darkroom at eleven. The artist recently started a fine art photography blog-podcast and has interviewed notable fine art photographers such as: Roger Ballen, Gregory Crewdson, and Tina Barney. 
Ken has worked and lived in New York City, Los Angeles, Italy, and Spain. He has also exhibited in multiple solo and group shows in the U.S. and Europe.
 Artist statement
The fine art photography that I am currently creating is focused on satire, psychological expression and situations that people find themselves.  Motel Stories, Kids and Their Toys, The Fuck Series, and Shelter, explores the contradictions of irony and absurdity, and social expression in life and art. My main interest is shooting people and places, and connecting them to life stories through journalistic style fine art photography.
