Joel Peter Witkin is a Jewish American Photographer who was born on September 13, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York. His father was a Jew and his mother belonged to the Roman Catholic. He had a twin brother, Jerome Witkin who was a prominent painter. Joel Peter together with his twin brother were raised up in an extremely religious atmosphere, which explains why most of the photographs by Joel Peter are Christian-oriented. Witkin acquired his first camera around 1955 and learned about the basics of using a camera at that time (Celent 179; Herve 13). Even his initial photographs were distinct, portraying the several upsetting experiences of his childhood. Joel-Peter Witkin was recruited into the army in 1961. Witkin enrolled in the army for three years as a combat photographer, so that he could manage his assignment as well. Between 1961 and 1964, Witkin photographed the Vietnam War. His tasks were to record on film the bodies of soldiers that had taken their lives or died in the course of training in accidents. In 1967, he made up his mind to become a freelance photographer. He became City Walls Inc. official photographer. As a result of his army service, Witkin attended Cooper Union in New York and obtained his B.F.A in 1974 (Herve 27). It was at this period that Columbia University rewarded him a fellowship in poetry. Witkin made efforts to attain His Masters of Arts in the University of Mexico, Albuquerque in 1976, where he specialized in photography and art history. The most…
