About Jerry
From creator of poetic images to compelling storyteller, Jerry Schatzberg has, over
the past three decades, excelled in both the realms of photography and filmmaking. Published in
Vogue, McCall’s, Esquire, Glamour, and Life in the 1960’s. Schatzberg captured intimate portraits
of the generations most notable artists, celebrities and thinkers (from Bob Dylan to Robert
Rauschenberg), and he pushed on in the 1970s to the medium of film and participated in the
renaissance of American cinema, directing films such as: Puzzle of a Downfall Child, The Panic
in Needle Park, Scarecrow. His films mark a significant time in the history of film when the
importance of solid and introspective narrative proved paramount. There are currently two books
in production chronicling Jerry Schatzberg’s life and work.
