Jerry Avenaim Photography

A native of Chicago, Jerry Avenaim got his start in photography as assistant to legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier. Upon venturing out on his own in 1985, his 1st assignment was a foreign edition Vogue cover of (then rising star) Cindy Crawford. Basing himself out of Milan, he started to work for Italian Vogue under the direction of Editor in Chief Franca Sozzani. With an already founded fashion career, Avenaim moved to Los Angeles in 1992, where he is now based. Jerry started photographing celebrities and immediately fell in love with the genre. I love actors and have such a great respect for the craft and it's process. Over the years, he has earned the trust of several of the most strong willed celebrities. In the last decade Avenaim's resume of mega-watt stars reads like a who's who of Hollywood.
