YALE WAGNER earned a BA in art history and photography from the University of Arizona’s Center for Creative Photography. He studied with Sheila Metzner in Santa Fe and got early support from Helmut Newton. In New York he worked with David Seidner and in Annie Leibovitz’s studio. Other influences include Sol LeWitt, Carlo Scarpa, and Giorgio de Chirico. His striking images turn subjects into immersive, contemplative experiences.
