Ray K. Metzker was born in 1931 in Milwaukee. Photography became his passion after his mother gave him his first camera when he was 12. In 1953, he graduated from Beloit College in Wisconsin with a fine art degree. He earned a Master’s degree in 1959 at the Institute of Design, Chicago (which at that time was being referred to as the New Bauhaus and was considered one of the most important photography programs in the U.S.), where he studied with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He taught for many years at the Philadelphia College of Art and also at the University of New Mexico. The Museum of Modern Art in New York gave him his first solo exhibition in 1967.
