About

Originally from Florida., Kurtiss studied to become a fashion designer at San Francisco’s Academy of Art University before moving to New York City to pursue his passion for fashion photography, specifically in the world of mens fashion and sophisticated luxury.

An artist known for his ability to capture subjects and spaces with a signature blend of sexy elegance, urbane style and regal aplomb, Kurtiss has styled and photographed up-and-coming models represented by top providers of talent to the New York fashion scene, including Ford Model Agency, Major Models, Red Model Management and Boss Models. His work has also been featured in online fashion, entertainment and lifestyle magazine, BELLO (bellomag.com).

His photo work often portrays male models on the cusp of notoriety: emerging faces destined for greater things, most likely fashion capital runways, national publication spreads and global lifestyle ad campaigns.

Much more than a new york photographer, Kurtiss is a capable project planner with a track record of effectively collaborating with agents, creative directors, designers, models, dressers, make-up artists and hairstylists for seamless photo shoots, special events, visual merchandising and photographic displays.

Kurtiss.com is an outgrowth of Kurtiss’ growing interest in showcasing his work—accompanied by magazine-like editorial content. Stay tuned as it evolves into a resource guide for mens fashion and fragrances, with a few surprises along the way.
