Harold
Levine


Harold Levine has studied at Cooper Union and the International Center of photography, working with teachers such as Joan Beard, Mary Ellen Mark and Lois Greenfield. He had his first solo show earlier this year at the Café at Wine and Roses in Manhattan, is a member of the Soho Photo Gallery, and co-founded the Photo Club at New York's LGBT Community Center.

Levine favors traditional black-and-white film photography and still does his own silver-gelatin printing, which he fears is fast becoming a lost art. He expresses himself through portraiture, the male nude, still life and landscapes. He is working on a new series he's calling "On The Road:" quirky objects, moments and situations he encounters outside New York City. The images in "On The Road" often exist at the juncture of loss, loneliness and yearning.

Levine is delighted to be working in the Moving Theater space where he can finally set up a full-width seamless background and explore the possibilities of both natural and studio lighting in a luxuriously large space. He's hoping to get the chance to do some experiments with floral still lifes and work made with the large-format camera in the Moving Theater studio. He's also hoping to wrap up his time at the studio with an exhibit of the work made there.
