Gregory Gelpern bought his first camera with money he earned as an extra on a movie set in 1959, when he was an engineering student in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia. He moved to the United States in 1988. His photographs have been published in Russia and exhibited at galleries in the Northeast, including as part of the New York Public Library collection.
