After receiving a Brownie camera from his father as a boy, Levenson developed a lifelong passion for photography. He studied the medium at the Rhode Island School of Design before going on to work with Robert Frank and develop prints for Richard Avedon. In addition to his career as a photographer, he taught at the University of Ottawa and lectured at Harvard and Brown University.
“Life, Labor and Lens” surveys Levenson’s five-decade journey through America and the people and places he encountered. Both familiar and nostalgic, his images share an unglamorous account of the American experience; gritty yet beautiful, sentimental yet honest.
