The Photography of Jeff Altschul is featured on the Main Floor of Parsippany Library

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Jeff Altschul was given his first camera as a four year old when his mother gave him his late grandfather’s camera – and old Kodak folding hawk-eye 6 x 20 Model C. From that moment on, photography gave Altschul new ways to look at the world around him while expressing his own inner universe. Altschul shot professionally throughout the 1970’s and into the 1990’s, until deciding to put aside his cameras to raise his two sons. In 2016, after retiring from a long career with Mercedes Benz, Altschul’s love for photography as an artist came out of retirement.

Rather than let himself be intimidated by the evolution in camera technology, Altschul dove head-first into the world of digital photography. He seeks to live up to his name by bringing his ‘old-school’ artistry and know-how to the ‘new-school’ of digital photography as Altschul seeks to share the world around him with abstract and impressionistic images.
