"This collection contains imagery from my time as a fashion magazine editorial photographer. During my time working editorially, I developed friendships and artistic relationships with many of the subjects I photographed. These images include both magazine editorial and also personal shoots, often using film to slow down the process and allow for deeper connection to the subject. Locations span the the globe, from New York to New Mexico, France to Greece, and more."

- Matt Licari

Since 2011, Licari has employed a dualist approach to imagery; creating both clean and crisp studio photographs alongside intimate, raw on-location pictures, often trading between the specialized technique of large-format film and handheld digital cameras. This workflow allows him to seamlessly toggle between styles and deliver a variety of powerful work to commercial brands and editorial magazines alike. His lively personality and enthusiasm for the arts has enabled him to make compelling images of high-profile celebrities like Tom Hanks, Pete Townshend, R.E.M, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Kathy Griffin and many more.  His clients include National Geographic, Universal Studios, Macy"s, Zappos, Nicole Miller, The Associated Press, Nylon, Billboard, The New York Times, and more.

Matt Licari (b. New York City)is an artist making photographs since 2003. Licari depicts close friends, family and street scenes in his native neighborhood of The Bronx. This combination of intimate portraiture and peripheral environs remains a cornerstone of his work today. Licari received his BFA in Photography from SUNY Purchase College and has worked in the image archives of the Richard Avedon Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum as a photo-lab technician.
