Columbia University in Pictures

LENNY PRIDATKO

Soon after enrolling in Columbia University, Lenny Pridatko discovered New York’s hidden secret in the form of the University’s stunning architecture and vibrant history. The idea for Columbia University picture book soon followed: its intention, to give long overdue credit to Columbia University’s contribution to New York’s skyline—to finally put Columbia’s campus on the same pedestal as the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty as another architectural jewel amid the concrete jungle.

Pridatko has extensively photographed Columbia University, launched this site, founded Luminance Press, and published Columbia University in Pictures and Columbia University Postcard Collection.

He also founded Get-Shot-in-New-York, a photography business focused on exclusive, personalized photoshoot tours throughout New York hotspots.

Pridatko's work is in the permanent collection of the Musem of City of New York, and he continues capturing his favorite city.
