How to break NYC’S photography scene

Gerardo Vizmanos

Back in 2015, when the idea of HISKIND was first conceived, we discovered the work of NYC based Gerardo Vizmanos. His aesthetic portrayed our vision for a brand we were just dreaming of creating and we followed his work closely. Having shot for Gayletter, Kalblut and Vanity Teen, his work uses visual language to address concepts surrounding the notion of “subject”.

He works with the idea that the subject and its identity have no real existence. His work deals with movement, bodies and shapes, contrasting a sense of serenity with the tension of a latent sexuality that could be present but remains hidden.

Fresh from his latest exhibition Hidden Secrets at MOMA, Vizmanos shares some tips on how to conquer NYC’S competitive photography scene.
