JOE OPPEDISANO
PHOTOGRAPHER
When people ask me what equipment I use – I tell them my two eyes.
Everything I see has beauty and is beautiful.
My women are strong, powerful. My men jump off the page. My textile designs showcase the glorification of nature.
For me, it's all about the angle, the composition, the love I have for the subject and my passion to make it somehow… just a little more magnificent.
WOMEN
my women are modern, strong yet classic and timeless in their exceptional beauty.
MEN
masculinity personified and pushed beyond limits
Clients include: Vogue, L'Uomo Vogue, Calvin Klein, Carmen Marc Valvo, Nautica, New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Wynn Casinos, Oklahoma City Art Museum
