BIOGRAPHY - Walter Choroszewski
Walter Choroszewski was born in northeastern Pennsylvania in 1953. After graduating from Penn State he moved to New York City, where his first jobs in environmental education led to a new career path in photography.
His first major photo assignment came in 1980, when he was commissioned to photograph the state of New Jersey for a book project. NEW JERSEY, A Scenic Discovery, was published in 1981 and established Choroszewski’s photographic identity and link to the “Garden State.”
Walter's photos were the inspiration for the popular New Jersey state tourism campaign: "NEW JERSEY & You ...Perfect Together!" He was the primary photographer of the campaign through the 1980s and 90s and continues to supply the state with images today.
In 1985, the Choroszewski family moved to New Jersey and started, Aesthetic Press Inc., to publish regional books and calendars. Through the years Walter expanded his location coverage to include neighboring Pennsylvania, the Mid-Atlantic and New England. Walter has published numerous photographic books and wall calendars about New Jersey and these adjacent regions.
In addition to location photography, Walter Choroszewski is also an award-winning graphic designer, and recently expanded his creative services to include videography. He continues to promote a positive image for New Jersey through his creativity and public speaking is a leading advocate of state pride.
Walter and his wife, Susan, live in Somerset County, New Jersey.
