When it comes to capturing fashion’s epic moments, New York-based Hunter Abrams is often the first person on the scene. From backstage and street photography at fashion weeks to the seemingly endless red carpets of awards seasons, Hunter has established themselves as one of the most creative—and adaptive—fashion photographers of the moment.
The instant respect Abrams commands in his field is the result of both years of hustling and an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of timeless—yet utterly of-the-moment—photography. What started as a passion project chased after on the side (after dropping out of college, Abrams juggled shooting New York Fashion Week street style on top of his receptionist job on Long Island) eventually evolved into an industry-leading professional career shooting guests at events like The Met Gala and the hottest tickets at global fashion weeks.
With a portfolio of A-listers and icons (including everyone from Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion to Meryl Streep), Abrams is here to share the stories and secrets behind his hard-won professional journey in Vogue Club’s latest episode of Career Secrets.
Three key takeaways from the episode—whether your heart is set on following Abrams into photography—or have set your sights on an entirely different career.
