Chaim Kanner (1943-2000) was born in Nice, France. He studied in Europe and photographed in France and Italy. In 1967 he spent a year photographing in the US and Mexico which stimulated travel throughout his life which can be seen in his work Glasgow to Tokyo. He worked as a professional photographer, first in the commercial field and then later in the fine art realm. He moved to the US in 1981 where he worked as a commercial photographer for an advertising agency until 1986 when he concentrated on selling his own work exclusively. He died in Brooklyn after a long industrious career in 2000.
