Information
Colin Padulo (b. New Jersey, based in Brooklyn, NY) is a photographer whose work moves between documentary and fashion contexts, exploring how architecture, infrastructure, and memory shape the visual language of everyday life. His practice blends the lyricism of observation with the discipline of craft — treating photography as both research and reflection. Working primarily with digital and medium-format film cameras, Padulo seeks to translate the overwhelming scale of the city into intimate images that register both its permanence and its transience.
His photographs have been published in GQ, Office Magazine, Highsnobiety, WWD, Spike, Numéro, and Artnet, and his debut photobook City Hick (2024) deepened his connection to New York’s darkroom communities and marked a pivotal return to analog processes. Alongside his personal work, Padulo serves as Gallery Operations Manager at Anonymous Gallery and participates in Worldwide Staffing, an independent photo production house dedicated to community-driven, documentary-based storytelling.
Through both his artistic and professional practice, Padulo approaches photography as a living document — a way to build visual archives of contemporary life while remaining grounded in the human stories that shape them.
