Steve Eichner

Since landing in New York City in 1986, Photographer Steve Eichner has captured blink-and-you-miss-it moments at both emerging and established hotspots and taken on-the-fly shots of everyone from Lower East Side denizens to Met Gala glitterati, along with iconic formal portraits of A-list fashionistas like Lady Gaga, Cameron Diaz and Karl Lagerfeld.

Equally at home on the red carpet and the back alleys behind a club, Steve comes armed with a slew of credentials as well as his arsenal of lenses. His years as house photographer for glitzy Club Kids night spots like Limelight and Palladium are showcased in his forthcoming book In the Limelight: The Visual Ecstasy of NYC Club Culture in the 90s.

During his two-decade stint as staff photographer for Women’s Wear Daily (1997-2016), Steve shot more than 40 New York Fashion Weeks, and his photos have appeared in a host of national publications, including Vogue, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Rolling Stone, People, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, W Magazine, Details, and GQ.
