Born in Edmonton, Singer attended Simon Fraser University then began his career in the film department of the CBC. In 1970 he moved to Montréal, where he made the transition to still photography. Working out of the tradition of documentary photography and using contemporary photographic techniques, Singer’s primary project involves photographing small town Main Streets found in Canada’s prairie provinces and the American Midwest and presenting them as grand panoramas. Singer has exhibited in solo exhibitions across Canada and his work has been shown at ARCO in Madrid and the Cologne Art Fair. His work can be found in public collections across the country including: the National Gallery of Canada, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon, the Canada Council Art Bank and Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
