Geof Kern (b. New York City 1950) is an American photographer whose career spans five decades (1975-2025).

Self art-directed, famously sketching his own layouts when commissioned, Kern was widely published in Japan, Europe, and the United States.  He is considered a pioneer in the resurgent conceptualism of photography in the 1980's and 90's, particularly in the commercial field.

Among many professional honors he is a recipient of the peer-nominated Infinity Award in Applied Photography from The International Center Of Photography (ICP), New York.

Other awards include the Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography from Columbia University, New York, Cannes Lions, and a Grammy for Album Art.

His work is included in the permanent collections of the Musée Des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, the London Design Museum, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, the Sir Elton John Collection, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
