Artist Frank Ishman

Photographer Frank Ishman has traveled extensively, living and working in various cities around the world. Frank received his education and training from Morehouse College and the Art Institute of Atlanta and learned everything he could while working with celebrated photographers Brigitte Lacombe, Mary Ellen Mark and Arnold Newman to name just a few. Bringing his unique vision, ardent sense of lighting, and strong work ethic to each shoot, Frank has produced an impressive collection of narrative and traditional fine art photography. Frank communicates through image, which provides him an outlet to release the strength of his reactions to the world. His narrative projects are often comprised of multiple images, merged and melded so completely that the viewer sees the project as a “whole,” rather than the sum of its parts. Never without a camera, Frank's traditional work takes aim at the everyday, the subject and their environment - always evolving, always finding a unique way of documenting existence. In between projects Frank is a voracious reader, a skilled chef and a burgeoning sitar player. Born in Connecticut and raised in southern California. Frank has lived in London, India, New Zealand, Chicago, and now after more than a decade in New York, Frank has moved his studio back to California and splits his time between coasts. In more recent news, Frank will be moving back to Chicago in the late fall or 2014.
