description

With over four decades of experience in the industry, Mark Arbeit has established himself as a master of fashion, portrait, and fine art photography.

After working with Helmut Newton and Irving Penn, Arbeit began his own career in 1980 in Milan, shooting fashion and portrait editorial for various publications. In 1985, he settled in Paris and began working on his “In and Out of Focus” series, in which he paired sharp-focus flowers with soft-focus female nudes.

Continuing to work in editorial, Arbeit shot fashion for Vogue France and Marie Claire, and portraits for InStyle and Forbes. In 1991, he began his “Artist Atelier” series, photographing female nudes in artists’ studios around Paris.
