Leonard Nimoy Photography


Leonard Nimoy first experienced the magic of making photographic images as a teen-ager in the early1940’s. His darkroom was the family bathroom in their small Boston apartment. His subjects were family and friends. He studied at UCLA under Robert Heineken in the early 1970’s and later received an “artist in residence” appointment at the American Academy in Rome.

Mr Nimoy’s photography is included  in many museum collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Judah L. Magnes Museum, The LA County Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum of NY, The New Orleans Museum of Fine Art and The Hammer Museum. In summer/fall 2010 the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art will present an exhibition of his latest photographs in conjunction with R. Michelson Galleries.
