DJ Leon Photography

DJ Leon, a new york artist is widely recognized for his beach panoramas of European and American beaches. His color photographs often focus on popular places and social gatherings, themes of leisure and pop culture, nature and enjoying life. In these photographs, Leon’s anthropological style both records and comments on contemporary life. Leon was not formally trained. A longtime, avid photography enthusiast began devoting himself exclusively to a photo-based practice after retiring from Wall Street in 2009. His artistic practice has developed into multiple forms, from making images with a camera, to combining and transforming images into collages. His work has been exhibited internationally, including in the American Embassy, Istanbul as well as in galleries in NY, Los Angeles and Miami.
