Photography[edit]

Wayne Schoenfeld is a documentary and fine art photographer. He is the director and executive producer of a number of documentary films.[1]

About Schoenfeld’s fine art photography Chun-Sun Jin said “Schoenfeld takes pictures rather than photographs, his carefully orchestrated images appear, at a glance, like classic paintings”.[2]

In 2011, Schoenfeld's self-styled and staged circus imagery, "Icons/Iconoclasts", have been exhibited in Cirque de Demain (Paris, January 27–30, 2011)[3] and Tohu City of Circus (Montreal, February 15-April 17, 2011).[4] His fine art photography has been exhibited throughout North America, Asia and Europe and is in the permanent collections of the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission,[5] Complesso del Vittoriano,[6] National Museum of Contemporary Art (Seoul), and Cirque du Soleil Montreal.[7] His work has appeared in a number of publications including Los Angeles Daily,[8] Harpers Bazaar,[9] American Photo,[10] and Design.,[11]

Since 2003, fifteen of Schoenfeld's monograph books of photography have been published; Brittle Glory: The Face of Change, a collection of portraits taken in the Cuban countryside and the Kurdish territories in Southeastern Turkey, Surface Tension, a selection of portraits and impressions of the female form, Through The Eyes Of Man, a photographic interpretation of biblical lore, There Are No Answers, If The Questions Aren't Asked, Almost Perfect, Mission To India and Through This World But Once. Two gallery portfolio books, in French and English versions, "Masques et Mystèresé" and "Masques et Mystères: Revisité" have been assembled by Great Circle Books and A&I Books.

Through his production company, New Democracy Productions, Schoenfeld is the executive producer and director of a growing number of documentary films including, "The Memory Box", an Official Selection of the Boston, Montreal, Columbus and Addis Ababa International Film Festivals and the award winning short subjects "In the Shadow of Shangri-La", filmed in Nepal and "Everyday is a Gift",[12] filmed in South Africa.[12] His latest project "Liberia: Emerging From the Shadows?" launched in September 2014 already received the Best Documentary Feature Award at Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood.[13] This feature documentary provides a glimpse into the daily struggles and triumphs of the Liberian people, following decades of civil war, a complete breakdown of basic services, infrastructure and political turmoil.

He is a member of the Photographic Arts Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.[14]
