Jerome Wexler was born on February 6, 1923, in New York, the United States to Lewis and Rose Leiberman Wexler.
Jerome Wexler received his education at the Pratt Institute and the University of Connecticut.
He is a self-employed photographer. Jerome Wexler became interested in photography in his ninth-grade science class, but he did not immediately pursue it as a profession.
After high school, Jerome Wexler served an apprenticeship as a machinist/toolmaker. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army.
His career in photography began after his discharge in 1946 when he took a job with the State Department as a civilian photographer in Europe. While overseas, Jerome Wexler saw a need for farmers to be instructed in the latest farming techniques. Upon his return to the United States in 1950, he started a stock photo company in Wallingford, Connecticut, called the Agricultural Photo Library. The photos demonstrated both good and bad farming practices, and approximately five thousand were published worldwide.
In 1958, Jerome Wexler gave up the photo library and worked as a tool and parts inspector in New Haven, Connecticut. Within five years, however, he returned to the field of photography. Using his machinist skills, he built some equipment designed to take photographs which produced an image twenty times an object's normal size. Using this equipment, Jerome Wexler began taking close-up shots of plants, animals, and insects.
Jerome Wexler began his book publishing career in 1967 with a book entitled Milkweed, for which he provided the photographs and Millicent E. Selsam wrote the text. Since then, his partnership with Selsam has led to the publication of eighteen books. In addition to Selsam, he has collaborated with several other authors.
