11/12/2026

Today’s guest is photographer Geoffrey Biddle, who has been capturing beauty from behind the lens for nearly 60 years. He took to the art form in his senior year of high school and hasn’t looked back since.

His work can be found in multiple collections, including the Museum of Modern Art. In addition to his prowess behind the camera, he has taught photography extensively over the years, including at Parsons School of Design, where he served as Assistant Chair of the Photography Department from 1994 to 2000.

His books include Alphabet City, Sydney and Flora, and God Bless America, and his latest exhibition, Terms of Endearment, is now on display at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey in Summit.

In this episode, the prolific photographer gives us a closer look at a few of his favorite pieces from the show. Each time you hear the music, you’ll know to move on to the next image.
