ABOUT
Jeff is an award-winning beauty and fashion photographer and director based in New York, with editorial and advertising clients worldwide.
Born and raised in the heartland of the United States, Jeff came to photography by a road of many twists and turns. On the way, he earned two degrees in philosophy, learned two skilled trades, traveled a good bit of the world and plied himself to a variety of strange occupations, including one glorious summer as an octopus fisherman in Greece. He is a published philosopher, a journeyman Ironworker, a political activist and a mean Scrabble player. He currently divides his time between his studio in Manhattan and his home in the Hudson Valley.
Jeff’s passion for beauty and fashion photography comes from a deep appreciation for the human form, and the many veils it wears. His goal as an artist is to know that beauty and truth are lovers, but not the same and often quarreling. If he had to choose, he would rather be deeply superficial than superficially deep, and he occasionally talks about himself in the third person.
