FRANKIE BATISTA
Frankie Batista is well regarded in the LA fashion industry and a very talented creator of fashion imagery for ads, magazines and editorial. I love working with Frankie. We share a creative vision. We long for all our campaigns to have impact, style, and heart.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Originally a draftsman and painter, Frankie discovered a passion for photography upon completion of his studies in art. Batista has photographed for international publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour, GQ, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Mens Health, L’Officiel, Nylon, Seventeen, and People. Known for a vibrant use of color and contrast, his optimistic and often exotically bright images seem to leap beyond the boundaries of their printed page, galvanizing him a leading reputation within the industry as a key figure working in contemporary fashion and celebrity portraiture. Frankie currently spends his time between Los Angeles, New York, and Miami.
