embedBrooklyn native Seth Kushner, a self professed pop culture addict, is often unable to complete sentences without making some reference to The Simpsons. "I have a head filled with film, TV, music, and general pop culture trivia, which comes in handy in my line of work," says Kushner. The portraitist first picked up a camera at the award winning Lincoln high school photography program in Brooklyn. "I took photo in high school because I heard it was an easy grade, but I ended up loving it," he says. Since graduating from School of Visual Arts in 1995, Seth has been assigned by such magazines as The New York Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek, Vibe, Heeb, YRB Magazine, and Business 2.0, to shoot an eclectic variety of subjects, from businessmen and politicians, to actors, Hip-Hop artists and DJ's. "I like the variety of the people I get to shoot...it's something different every day."
Seth's first book "THE BROOKLYNITES" was released in September of 2007 from powerHouse Books.
Currently, Seth is working on his next book which is tentatively titled "NYC GRAPHIC NOVELISTS." It will explore the creators of the comic book culture of New York. He hopes to have that completed before the end of the year and released by Fall '09.
