New York is one of the fashion capitals of the world—and when it comes to fashion photography, the city is unmatched. It’s home to iconic names like Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber, whose legendary work helped define eras of editorial style.
But fashion photography in New York today is more dynamic than ever, and Zeelum offers something different: a dedicated fashion photography studio in New York that blends the creative energy of the city with the technical precision of a controlled space. Whether you’re building a portfolio, launching a campaign, or capturing street style at its finest, we offer an experience that’s both high-end and accessible.
Fashion Photography in NYC: A Legacy of Icons & Innovation
New York has long been a breeding ground for fashion photography’s best. Names like Lara Jade and Lindsay Adler have made waves with stunning beauty editorials shot right here in Manhattan. Street-style photographers like Johnny Cirillo (@watchingnewyork) have also redefined the genre by capturing authentic, in-the-moment fashion across the boroughs.
At Zeelum, we draw inspiration from both worlds—studio precision and street spontaneity—to help creatives produce stunning, fashion-forward imagery that captures the spirit of New York.
Street Style vs. Studio: You Don’t Have to Choose
Some of the most recognized NYC fashion photography today comes from creators like Johnny Cirillo, who capture spontaneous fashion in its rawest form—on the sidewalks of SoHo or the edges of Fashion Week. Meanwhile, in the studio, photographers like Lindsay Adler craft controlled, editorial perfection.
At Zeelum, we offer the best of both. Many of our clients begin with a polished studio session, then step outside to capture authentic street style—no need to compromise between the two. It’s a seamless transition—from lights and backdrops to natural shadows and bustling backdrops.
