About Conrad Kiffin
Conrad was born and raised in New York. He studied photography at Brooklyn College and Germain School for Photography, and quit his desk job to pursue a career in photography in 1991. He still lives in Brooklyn with his cat George (arguably the greatest cat to ever live), whom he met just after launching his business.

Conrad Kiffin Studio shoots high resolution digital as well as film. Commercial images are created primarily for graphic design firms, magazines, large companies and advertising agencies. We shoot both in studio and on location as well service clients from all over the globe.

After bugging my brother for weeks and weeks, the day had finally arrived. I was 13. It was sometime during the summer (school had been out for a couple of weeks), and I still remember the phone conversation.

Conrad: Did you get it??
Mark: It's right here. It's nice!!
Conrad: Sweet!! I'll meet you at the train station!!!!

... and then I ran out the door. He's probably on the train right now - I can't wait!! I thought. I arrived a bit early and hung around, waiting for my brother to emerge from the train station. About half an hour later, it was in my hot little hands! My first camera!!!! YES!!!!!

I don't remember if I thanked him for making the purchase for me with the money I'd saved up, since I was more than a bit distracted, and remained as such for the next few years, consumed by photography and anything visual. I spent most of the high school years in the darkroom developing and printing from the many rolls of film I burned through. Sometimes I'd even miss a class, just to take pictures.

I was focused. I was hooked.
