Kennedy’s career started in New York with commercial photography including iconic portraits of musicians, actors and artists. In 1986 he moved to New Mexico to focus on fine art photography. His name is synonymous with New Mexico landscapes. Kennedy’s images are materialized through the platinum/ palladium printing technique.
Alaska Positive, now in its 49th year, is a state-wide juried photography exhibit organized and traveled by the Alaska State Museum and sponsored by the Friends of the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum.
