Zuckerman went to college to study medicine but his love of photography could not let him complete his studies, so he left his medical studies in 1970 to pursue his love of photography and he turned it into a full time career. Today, Zuckerman leads many international photo excursions to exotic destinations such as Turkey, Botswana, Namibia, Indonesia, Burma, India, China, Ethiopia, Eastern Europe and Kenya. He has also taught creative photography at many private schools and universities, including the Palm Beach Photographic Center, the Hallmark School of Photography, Kent State University and UCLA. Zuckerman states that he leaves the dark side of life to other photographers and only photographs beauty. His diversity in style and technique is unique in the professional arena. His fine art prints hang in scores of private collections.
