Ken Schles’ books are considered “intellectual milestones in photography.”—Süddeutsche Zeitung, and have been exhibited by the Museum of Modern Art and the FOAM in Amsterdam. Ken has taught photography for nearly 20 years at ICP and has talked or given studio visits for students at Harvard, RIT, SVA, RISD and Parsons. Vince Aletti in the New Yorker called his book Invisible City, “hellishly brilliant.” His books have been on “notable books of the year” lists including Photo-Eye and the Sunday New York Times Book Review. His photographic work has received multiple awards (including an AIGA award for book design for Invisible City) and is in private and public collections throughout the world including MoMA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Art Institute of Chicago and LACMA, among others. We encourage you to explore more here. Ken Schles is a NYFA Fellow.
