Todd Weinstein

Todd Jay Weinstein is a photographer whose work spans a wide range of genres from documentary and street photography to abstract and commercial work. A native of Detroit, Weinstein has been based in New York City since the early 1970s. Weinstein is known for his street photography depicting the ups and downs of life, particularly in New York, and for his abstract images using Jewish lore to explore universal themes of suffering and redemption. A selection of Weinstein’s street photography was published in 1991 in the book Personal Journalism: A Decade of Color Photography, 1980-1990. His work documenting the resurgence of Jewish life in Germany has been exhibited in the U.S. and abroad, and his series “The 36 Unknown,” a group of abstract images based on a Jewish legend of redemption, has been exhibited around the world to much critical acclaim. Most recently, Weinstein has been working on a series of abstract images that explore Biblical themes and Jewish lore.
Weinstein’s photographs have been exhibited at such venues as The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Holocaust Memorial Center in Detroit, the National Humanities Center in North Carolina, The New York Public Library, as well as New York’s Howard Greenberg Gallery, Midtown Y P...
