Jeff Lipsky joins Stockland Martel

Photographer Jeff Lipsky has just signed on with Stockland Martel, and we’re thrilled to have him on board. Although he is best known for his celebrity portraits, Lipsky is uncommonly versatile: For him, a typical week could involve shooting a portrait of a rock climber in Yosemite for Outside, a fashion story in New York for Cosmopolitan, and a celebrity in L.A. for Entertainment Weekly.

Lipsky’s background is also unusual. Before moving to Southern California in 1998 to pursue photography, he spent a decade in the mountains of Telluride, Colorado, where he worked as a fly-fishing guide in the summer and went snowboarding in the winter. Although his lifestyle now is very different—he lives in Venice Beach with his wife and son—he and his subjects often bond over their shared passion for sports and nature. For a Men’s Health assignment, in fact, he went heli-snowboarding in Alaska with skateboard legend Tony Hawk. “I spent seven days with Tony in bottomless powder and took a beautiful portrait of him,” recalls Lipsky.

At the moment, Lipsky’s got a full agenda, and it’s typically diverse. He’s shooting a movie poster for The Tooth Fairy, for which he’ll photograph The Rock (actor Dwayne Johnson) wearing fairy wings; a portrait of Lost star Josh Holloway for EW; and a portrait for Vogue. He also just shot Animal Planet host David Salmoni, an assignment that involved live lions, tigers, and elephants. Lipsky may be far from the wilds of Colorado, but at least he still gets to have a wild time.
