| Michael Cinquino, photographer |
Within minutes of meeting one another, we were naked. He's the photographer for the upcoming book, Asana Exposed by ISIS Phoenix. I love the images we created, and it was only a test shoot -- that's saying a lot. I appreciate his feedback on the development of my male nude series, we've shared self-portraits and are overdue for a Hapkido class. It was hot and humid day and thankfully his Williamsburg studio was air-conditioned when we got together on Friday.

I’m Michael Cinquino, I’m a photographer here in New
York. I live in Brooklyn. I
shoot just about anything with people. The frequency I would say is headshots
first, then fashion, portraits and then also events and weddings. I work mostly
in the consumer market. I’ve started to move more towards editorial and
publications in the last 6 months to a year.
How many years have
you been doing this?
It’ll be 3 years July 7 or something like that.
Do you have an image
that you’ve captured or one that you saw that let you know, "I want to be a photographer"?
I don’t know if there was a single image. I will say though
that I’m most attracted to the face. I love doing actor headshots. Even with models or whomever, I’m most attracted to the face
because there’s so much to it. I like to make and like to see compelling
images; images that I look at and I instantly have some sort of visceral
response to.
