+ MORE ABOUT JEFF TSE

Through Tse’s close attention to the grace and texture of each object, the resulting images transform even the simplest to one of nuanced grace. Drawing from the traditional canon of nature photography, while inspired by the figurative renderings of predecessors George Platt Lynes, Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts, Tse combines his natural eye for the truly exquisite, to create images which are classical and arresting.

Tse grew up in Hong Kong and New York City. Picking up the camera as an adult, he quickly achieved acclaim as a successful sports photographer, publishing photographs of celebrity athletes—including Lance Armstrong and Tyler Hamilton. Seeking to refine his imagery to a purer state, he moved to beauty and fashion photography, developing an enduring and stunning aesthetic that crosses genres. Tse’s work is found in major corporate, public and private collections. His images have appeared in Elle, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Allure and Marie Claire, among many others, with clients including Dior, John Frieda, Covergirl and Fredric Fekkai. Jeff lives in New York.
