Life and work

A trip to Europe in 1966 with a Pentax camera given him by French fashion photographer Jérôme Ducrot (with whom Kalvar worked in New York as an assistant) inspired him to become a photographer.

Kalvar has worked around the world, especially in England, France, Italy, Japan and the United States.^[4]
