Fred Leavitt is the first photographer to be awarded a commission by The Chicago Council on Fine Art to produce a photographic essay for permanent exhibit in a municipal building. He currently has two traveling museum exhibits of his prints.

Born in Chicago, Fred studied photography in Germany in the sixties. He traveled throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and the Orient producing photographic essays.
In the past two years Mr. Leavitt has become interested in the artistic potential of applying digital technology to photography. He uses his own photographs as a starting point and then adds another dimension by using a computer and his imagination to manipulate the digitized photographs into a new art form.
