Elliott Kaufman Abstract Photography

American

Kaufman's career path is unique but has always revolved around architectural motives. When he began shooting in the mid 70s his orientation was toward the fine arts. He developed ideas for site-specific photomurals and wall art much before this concept became a mainstream art venue.
