Spotted: Damien Maloney
Damien Maloney is a photographer based in California. He was born in Texas and grew up in the Arizona desert. Now living in San Francisco, Damien’s first introduction to photography was taking pictures for his college newspaper which saw him shooting portraits, sports and still life.
His pictures skillfully blend together the inspiration of moments lost in time, and staged images. “Sometimes putting a lot of work and effort into a picture makes a really good picture”, he explains, “and sometimes things are best undisturbed. I like to blur the boundaries, so that it is unclear whether I have created a situation or happened upon a situation”.
His work has been published in M Le Monde, The New York Times Style Magazine, The Fader, Vogue, The New Yorker and others.
