Photographer
| USA
Wick Beavers paints with his camera. He was one of the early photographers that ZO connected with (in this present incarnation) and his wit and eclectic style were an inspiration to the nexus we were trying to build between artistic disciplines.
We certainly were honored that he took a little time with our unique fledgling project. His credits are immense.
Born and raised in Manhattan, Wick is a fine artist and editorial portrait photographer based in NYC — specializing in shooting great pictures of cool people.
His portraits strip the masks of self-consciousness, bare the elemental truth of the subject and welcome the viewer into the trilogue between the subject and the photographer. It takes some life experience outside being a technician with a good camera to embrace all that.
