Joseph Cultice

photography career began as a young rock‘n’roll-obsessed teen in Phoenix, Arizona where he was inspired by his floor-to-ceiling KISS and David Bowie posters and lots of mescaline. His teenage water bed dreams became reality when he moved to New York City in 1990 and immediately began making an international name for himself as one of the few leading music photographers of the time, whose wide range of talents allowed him to cross over into the celebrity and fashion fields. His first big break came with Nine Inch Nails, with whom he bonded immediately over similar aesthetics and vision, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. He lives in between New York and Los Angeles with Katness, Nomi Star, and a refrigerator full of kimchee.
