Harold Feinstein began his career in photography in 1946 at the age of fifteen. By the time he was 19, Edward Stieichen had purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and exhibited it frequently during his tenure. In his early career, Harold was best known for his black and white documentary style work. Renowned photography critic and historian A.D. Colman said of Harold’s work: “Here is New York small-camera photography at its best – humanistic, intimate, engaged, almost intrusive.” He went on to call Harold “a true photographer’s photographer.”

In early 2000, Harold began to master digital technology as an artistic medium, resulting in six published color books. His trend-setting in the arena of digital photography earned him the Smithsonian Institute’s Computerworld Smithsonian Award, in 2000. Harold’s photographs have been exhibited in and are represented in the permanent collections of major museums, including the George Eastman House, the Musee d’Art Moderne, and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. His portfolios, photo essays and articles have been published in major periodicals around the world.
