An adventurous childhood beginning in South Africa and Canada played an important part in shaping his imagination. The family travelled extensively and the exposure to various cultures soon led him to his father’s camera and darkroom. The thrill of taking photographs and the subsequent alchemy in the darkroom created an obsessive curious boy who upon arriving in Montreal attempted to document the locations mentioned in the lyrics of a Leonard Cohen song! A regrettable impatience with academic life and the pressures of success soon led Dischinger to abandon his university studies to begin assisting and starving all in pursuit of his dream to be a photographer. Currently based in New York City, Dischinger works extensively for magazines and advertising clients, waking each day and trying to stay curious and engaged constantly feeling the pressure to update his instagram page.
