Life and work

Borensztein’s biggest influence on his work has been his life experience. Throughout his artistic career he has been driven by the need to give voice to the unheard and unseen. Borensztein has had numerous well received books published by major publishers: “Metamorphosis” collaboration with John MacGregor PhD, “One is Adam, One is Superman” and “American Portraits”. Those books are visual documentation of salient moments in the lives of his subjects. His latest book “Sharon” is a testimony of a father documenting every stage of the challenged life of his severely disabled daughter. Leon was working for leading magazines including extensive work for The New York Times Magazine, Newsweek, Vogue, Fortune, and other. His work appeared in Life magazine, Harpers. He received MFA with honors from SF Art Institute, a Guggenheim Fellowship, has his work exhibited widely and is included in various public and private collections.
