NYC Advertising Photographer Portfolio

With over thirty years of photography experience, I can stay ahead of the curve and establish myself as one of the best photographers in New York City.

My passion for photography dates back to my childhood, when I would flip through the pages of Look, a biweekly oversized fashion magazine that ceased publication in 1971. It introduced me to the world of fashion and the diverse cultures of the world. I was particularly fascinated by James Barnor, a Ghanaian photographer who captured Ghana's street fashion in the 1960s and '70s. His work inspired me to pursue a career as a fashion photographer.
I am always curious about the photo gear that makes the most crucial designs or layouts come to life. I plan to take you on a fascinating journey to capture the various faces, shades of colour, personalities, and cultures as we design a unique, creative, and cutting-edge advertising campaign. I always strive to stay within a project's budget and meet tight deadlines.
From blue waters to dark, dangerous situations to being high in the sky strapped to a harness, or just waiting for the right moment to click the shutter on my camera, these adventures have motivated me as a New York commercial photographer.
New York Beauty Photographer - Donn Thompson
Beauty photography is an art that utilises light, colour, location, mood, and makeup to tell a story that resonates with its intended audience. The primary goal of any beauty product photography session is not just to capture an image, but to convey a feeling, an attitude, or a sentiment that resonates with the heart of interests and desires, representing various interpretations of beauty.New York Boudoir Photographer - Donn Thompson

Creating suggestive, mysterious, intimate, and sensual photographs is not intended to attract men. The purpose is to capture the unique spirit and personality of the female in front of the camera.
As a boudoir photographer, Donn Thompson embraces the creative freedom, adventure, and empowerment that this genre offers when executed well. Today, boudoir photography focuses on highlighting women's beauty in a way that empowers and instils confidence.
