Wonderboy Photographer Getty Impresses with Staggering Range of Talent

NEW YORK — “There’s nothing Getty can’t do,” exclaimed Bella editor Carolina Lindemann as she closed her October issue. “He shot our Angelina Jolie cover this month, and turned the whole thing around in a flash.” Indeed young Getty has taken the fashion world by storm, landing the last three covers of Vanity Fair as well as the Fall 2009 Donna Karan campaign. “Getty is at the top of the list,” said Dennis Freedman, the creative director of W. “He travels all over the world, and his range is incredible—he can shoot still-life, portraits, fashion,or landscape. Oh, and the lightbox option is a whiz!” The young rock-star snapper is a regular in gossip columns,where tales of his debauched nights with beautiful supermodels run rampant. But he’s also known for getting down to business. One anonymous editor has championed Getty since the beginning, crediting his success to fantastic organization skills. “That’s why I give him all my covers. I book him for a shoot and within a minute he sends me a million options from all over the world.” –Lindsay Winkler
