Michael Somoroff

Somoroff photographed his mentors in photography Gyula Halász, better known as Brassaï, Andreas Feininger, Louis Faurer, and André Kertész and published the portraits in A Moment.

The New York Times describes his approach as "Madison Avenue meets the Italian Renaissance: big budgets, large teams, high-tech tools and an artist-manager equally at ease with corporate sponsors and Chelsea gallerists.

In 2008, Somoroff created a site-specific installation of the parting of the Red Sea in wood and video projects at St. Peter's Art Station Cathedral in Cologne, Germany.

[13] Absence of Subject, Somoroff's "unconventional homage" to photographer August Sander,[14] was first presented during the 2011 Venice Biennale on Piazza San Marc.

[citation needed] In 2011, Somoroff produced a series of short videos of poet Giannina Braschi reading from United States of Banana, a work of Postcolonial literature;.
