Duane Michals began his career as a graphic designer, studying at the University of Denver, and Parsons School of Design in New York City. He became interested in photography in 1958, when he traveled to the Soviet Union and, with a borrowed camera, made portraits of people on the streets. After returning to New York, he worked as a freelance photographer for such magazines as Vogue and Time. His early interest in creating images of events had changed by the mid-1960s, when he began to address literary and philosophical ideas about death, gender, and sexuality.
