About – Philip Friedman

Cell: 917-886-5470

I run an active commercial photography studio based in New York City, shooting for a diverse clientele including American Express, AIG, Home Depot, Aveeno and HBO. My projects range from corporate portraits to still life to food photography. No subject is off limits.

I developed a distinct style for each genre of photography, something I learned during my tenure as a staff photographer at Hearst Magazines shooting for titles like Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Esquire, Town & Country and Food Network Magazine. I was responsible for photographing some of these titles’ biggest stories and projects, notably editorial features, covers, and major advertising campaigns. I bring this experience to all my current projects.

I did much of my growing up abroad, in Great Britain. When I returned to America, I studied studio art and photography at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts and have been based in the New York City area ever since. I continue to travel the world, documenting my discoveries and experiences through the art of photography.

Whether for commercial or personal endeavors, I am eager to shoot whatever needs to be photographed—beautifully and artistically.
