About

Me-2-300x283

Philip Valende was born in Woburn Massachusetts and earned a degree in Fine arts from Museum of Fine Arts Boston. By the time he was twenty-one he had moved to Chicago where he became an award winning Art Director, directing shoots for the Johnson Wax Company and Dow Chemical Corporation. Philip was 28 when he was asked to move to New York and direct shoots for MTV, ESPN and American Express. It was there he became a Photoshop Master and earned a reputation for outstanding use of vibrant color, light and ability to compose complex scenes. Realizing his work would be ideal for the fashion, music and advertising industries, Philip struck out on his own. His first big break came shortly thereafter when Runway Magazine asked him to shoot a 10 page fashion editorial. Now an internationally published fashion photographer, his work has appeared in magazines such as Hollywood, Issue One UK, Elle, Future Claw and numerous others as well as private collections. Conceptually driven, he specializes in telling stories by seamlessly blending aesthetic concepts, composition and style into visually stunning fashion, portraits, commercial, beauty and editorial images.
