Inez & Vinoodh
Kelly Klein has been a fixture in the fashion and advertising world since her breakthrough as a prominent 90s fashion photographer. Starting her career in design as an undergraduate at FIT, she quickly became an in demand hire for major brands such as Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. These expereinces led Klein to find her true passion — photography. Along with publishing seven photo coffee table books of her own, her work has been featured in the likes of Vogue, Interview Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar and many more. Klein shoots vulnerably and honestly; publishing intimate photographs of models, candid shots from her life, and exploration of human emotion and religion.
