short bio and client list
Arthur Paxton is an experienced New Jersey-based photographer with a specialty in portraiture (especially location work.) Art excels in corporate and editorial photography with experience in financial services, technology, health, higher education, music, architecture and digital photo-illustration. Art’s work is marked by a strong sense of design and a nuanced eye for light. Art's wide interests help insure connections with his subjects. Indeed, a Paxton portrait shows the individual looking vital and connected. Art approaches a location shoot prepared for a challenge, and open to the unexpected. His responsiveness and creativity make for productive collaborations.
Thanks to an inquisitive mind and the GI Bill, Art is overeducated (UVa, SUNY Stony Brook, Columbia) but fortunately his wife is gifted with a barrel-full of gumption. His book Making Music, a photo essay on the creative process in music, with David Amram as the composer/conductor was published by Atheneum/Macmillan. Having lived in such diverse places as London, Virginia, Panama, Manhattan, and Montana, Paxton has made Montclair, NJ his home for more than three decades. PARTIAL CLIENT LIST
