Hugh Kretschmer
Bio:
Hugh Kretschmer is a Los Angeles native who grew up in a family of artists, discovering photography at age 13 under the guidance of his... father, who was a photo-instrumentation engineer for McDonnell Douglas during the Mercury through Apollo missions. He graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in 1984. In 1989 he started his own photography business photographing still-life collage assemblages for fiction and non-fiction magazine articles and advertising. A move to New York in 1995 and a shift in working style pushed his work into the consciousness of key members of the industry. His work has appeared in Vanity Fair, GQ, New York Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek, Oprah, and Fortune, along with advertising campaigns for Penn & Teller, Huggies, Old Spice, Toyota, Honda, and Compaq, to name a few. Now based in Los Angeles, he teaches photography at UCLA and Los Angeles Center for Photography (LACP). His work is collected through galleries in Los Angeles, Paris, and soon South Korea. He is a board member of Artist United, a trustee of Behind the Lens, and a board member of MOPLA.Read More
