Available to hire
Hi, I’m Kristian Larrota Klarrota. I’m a photographer and photo editor based in New York, specializing in product, food, and portrait photography with a strong emphasis on storytelling through imagery. I collaborate with editorial teams and brands to create engaging visuals for web galleries, campaigns, and social media, and I bring hands-on expertise in studio lighting, retouching, color correction, and digital asset management.
Over the years I’ve contributed to campaigns and features for editorial outlets and institutions, including a MTA Ad Campaign feature and work with TimeOut Magazine. I hold a BA in Photography from Marymount Manhattan College and an A.A. in Commercial Photography from LaGuardia College, with additional study in Engineering at Syracuse University. I’m passionate about bringing brands’ narratives to life through photography and visual storytelling.
