Raised between the United States and the Netherlands, Frank Terry is a California native with strong European cultural roots. His American father taught him the value of a strong work ethic as well as nurturing his creative intelligence. From his mother he absorbed a classically Dutch love for the beautiful, simple things – a sensibility often reflected in his images. Enjoyment of photography came early to him. At 12 he picked up his first camera, and by 17 had parlayed his photographs into a local skate magazine (the Rag), documenting his peers in the skate scene. Seeking a more formal education in photography, Frank then attended Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Upon completion of his degree, Frank began working in Los Angeles, first for renowned photographer Matthew Rolston, and then as a sought-after freelance assistant for an impressive list of industry leaders, ranging from Helmut Newton to Hedi Slimane (and seemingly everyone in between). Frank's current clients include Fossil, Living Proof Inc, and Calvin Klein. His current work includes a bit of everything - Brand Campaigns (Living Proof), BTS (Calvin Klein, Miu-Miu), Social Media (Coach, Tods), and even some still life (YSL Beaute, Hugo Boss). He is represented by Victoria Brynner at Stardust Brands. You can follow him on Instagram or visit his website to learn more about his work.
