Hello, I'm Ronnie Caplan.

I’ve had these cravings since birth. To draw​,​ paint​,​ sculpt​,​ create… This eventually led me to Parsons School of Design NYC​,​ developing my crafts and honing my philosophy amongst the community of artists in The Village. To pay for my passions​,​ I landed as creative director at several ad agencies & publishing companies. I also advanced my ability to generate emotion by designing live environments as an event designer. My work transported me to major US and Canadian cities​,​ up and down the coast of Southern California​,​ the Caribbean and Mexico. Along the way I continued to be enlightened by diverse peoples​,​ absorbing their cultures through the infinite beauty & colors in their worlds. The camera replaced my brush to capture these candid moments… to express myself in a clear-cut medium. I think of it as pop-culture performance in photography. ​ INSPIRATIONS Annie Leibovitz​,​ Helmut Newton​,​ Alfred Stieglitz​,​ David LaChapelle​,​ Jean-Michel Basquiat​,​ Salvador Dali​,​ David Hockney​,​ Jackson Pollock​,​ Vasily Kandinsky​,​ Haruki Murakami​,​ Douglas Coupland​,​ David Hockney​,​ Hunter S.

I've zip-lined through the El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico​,​ snorkelled in Jamaica and Huatulco​,​ parasailed in Acapulco​,​ enjoyed the wild​,​ nude beach in Guadeloupe​,​ listened to a 30 piece steel drum band play classical music on a hilltop in Antigua​,​ climbed Dunn's River Falls in Ochos Rios​,​ had a personal tour of the psychedelic poster room at the Fillmore in San Francisco​,​ attended a Pope's funeral in Vatican City​,​ came upon an unexpected Picasso museum on a side street in Antibes​,​ partied all night in Juan La Pins and at Studio 54 in NYC​,​ have seen great artworks​,​ masterpieces and exhibitions at galleries​,​ museums and landmarks around the world​,​ skied great hills in the Laurentians and Vermont​,​ climbed atop the Trevi Fountain in Rome​,​ swam with stingrays in the Cayman Islands​,​ sailed off Cap D'Antibes​,​ bought artwork at the South Beach Art Deco Festival​,​ strolled Worth Avenue in Palm Beach​,​ resembled a mountain goat when I climbed up a steep cliff on Greek Island Ios​,​ with an 80 pound backpack on my​,​ well​,​ back​,​ hit every beach from Sitges​,​ Spain to Capri​,​ Italy to Ios​,​ Greece; Since I always have my camera close by​,​ I've maintained a photographic record of my travels (from landscapes to still lifes) = Fine Art Photography
