About this project
THE INSPIRATION
NYC is one of the most diverse cities in the world, with hundreds of languages spoken here no wonder it's a cultural
madness. It's this cultural madness that has sparked my life as a photographer.
'Come Around My Way'
is a photo exhibition that I have been planning for for about a year
now. It will be the first time my printed work will be shown in public.
It will showcase about 30 portraits of the people whom I have crossed
paths with in the past 5 years. The work is intimate and true. This photo exhibition is somewhat of a
diary of my journey as a photographer. To see many of the images that
will be exhibited at "Come Around My Way" check out my website www.avivaklein.com. The
location for this exhibit its still being decided upon and will be in
Brooklyn or Manhattan by the fall.

Aviva Klein is a self-taught photographer from Brooklyn, New York. In the borough of diversity and deep seas of competition, Aviva adapted the by any means necessary attitude from a young age. Born to Russian Jewish parents, this first generation American was heavily influenced by the life and cultures that intrigued her as a child growing up in Sheepshead Bay. Intrigued by Fashion, Hip-Hop and the distinctive individuals who compose the two intertwining cultures, Aviva has photographed musicians from mainstream superstar Drake, to the underground phenom Maluca Mala. She has also worked with equally talented fashion creatives; from designer fashion house Lanvin, to pop-art avant garde twin designers DEE&RICKY. Thriving off the feeling she gets when taking photos, she found her way to the studios of photographers whom she admired. Working under celebrity fashion photographer, KUTLU and most recently with legendary Hip-Hop/Advertising photographer, Jonathan Mannion. Her fascination with lighting is apparent in the moodiness of many of her photographs, which has become her trademark of sorts - mixing skills she’s acquired over the years with the rawness of her earlier work. The Brooklyn native has embarked on her most ambitious project to date, Bandana Culture. The project documents the vast group of people that are a part of the culture from punk kids to the lady down the street trying to hide her hair rollers; www.bandanaculture.com . Inspired by the vulnerability in people Aviva flourishes in her ability to capture raw emotions when they seem most fleeting.
