Elliott Landy

Elliott Landy began documenting the “underground” music culture in New York City during the mid 1960’s. This happened as a result of his returning to the US from Europe to photograph the big peace demonstrations taking place in New York and Washington, DC. Since many of the leading musicians of the period were also politically active, it was a natural progression for the photographer.

After exploring that world, Elliott moved on to other inspirations and art forms, photographing his own children and travels, creating impressionist flower photographs and doing motion and kaleidoscopic photography in both still and film formats. He is currently at work on an extensive project that uniquely combines still photography, music and moving images. Additionally, he is compiling an intensely beautiful and intimate body of work of his own life in a project called “Love After Sixty”.
