Joseph Szabo

Joseph Szabo, a teacher, photographer and author, has been photographing teenaged students for the past forty years and has perfectly captured the ambivalence of that time of life. In the early seventies he taught photography at Malverne High School in Long Island. He managed to capture the passion, but also the self-consciousness of those post-puberty years. Szabo is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and his work resides in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale University, The International Centre of Photography and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, among others.
