- Photographer
William Abranowicz is a photographer best known for his poised and meticulously crafted images of architectural, still life, landscape and portrait subjects. Abranowicz has a unique ability to capture the essence of both people and the spaces they inhabit. His deep affinity for classical forms and keen eye for detail have made him a valuable contributor to The New York Times Magazine, WSJ, Vanity Fair, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Vogue, Town & Country, Martha Stewart Living, Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler. He has created campaigns for The Fifth Avenue Hotel, Belmond Hotels, Rolex, Banana Republic, Ralph Lauren Home Collection, Estée Lauder, IBM, Banana Republic, Merrill Lynch and Target, among others.
Abranowicz’s expertise extends far into the history and craft of photography; he is a skilled fine art printer, having studied under legendary photographers such as Lily Raymond, George Tice and Horst P. Horst. His mastery of black-and-white silver printing led him to print the negatives of Edward Steichen, Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene and Michael Disfarmer. This technical expertise is evident in the depth and quality of his image making.
Abranowicz’s work has been exhibited in leading galleries and his prints are held in prestigious public and private collections worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the International Center of Photography in New York, the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Smithsonian Institution. He has published eight books of photography, including 2021’s This Far and No Further: Photographs Inspired by the Voting Rights Movement and Country Life: Homes of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley, which was selected by Architectural Digest as one of the best books of 2023. He has also co-authored more than a dozen titles in collaboration with notable figures such as Jeffrey Bilhuber, Kathleen and Tommy Clements, Ellen DeGeneres, Sean Scherer, Martha Stewart and Alan Wanzenberg.
