Wickenden received a BFA degree in Photography from the University of Arizona where he studied with the photographer Ken Shorr (see David Sedaris' New Yorker essay "The IHOP Years") and took classes from Mary Ellen Mark, and Lisette Model's protege Larry Fink. In 1999 he interned with both Annie Leibovitz and Richard Avedon. This extensive background in photography was crucial in helping to craft "Finding Vivian Maier", which was nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar.
