Biography

John Leifer began his lifelong passion for photography when he first picked up an aging 35mm camera at the age of 13. Two years later, he was hired as a team photographer for the Kansas City Royals' baseball team. Though John loved the excitement and split-second timing of sports photography, it was photography's ability to capture unique views of the world that intriqued him most.

John quickly became one of the top-selling photographic artists in his region. His work was initially displayed at numerous local galleries before garnering national attention. John's first major one-man show was at the age of 23, when he was invited to exhibit his work at the prestigious Manhattan gallery, "Images".

Today, John's collection of photographic artwork spans more than four decades of work. His images range from stunning landscapes to poignant photo-journalistic portraits. His pursuit of photographic art has taken him from the fjords of New Zealand to the streets of Chicago. His passion for revealing new ways to look at the world remains as intense today as it did the day he picked up his first 35mm camera.
