Noah Kalina

Born in Huntington, New York, on July 4, 1980,[2] Kalina attended Harborfields High School. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts. For years he was based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn[3][4] but Kalina now works from a studio in Lumberland, New York.[5][6] Kalina has created a number of widely exhibited photographs, generally working in medium format, using the Danish Phase One XF camera+IQ3 back with Schneider and Phase One lenses and Profoto strobes.[7]

Kalina began taking a photo of himself every day starting on January 11, 2000, at age 19. The video Everyday shows the photos chronologically, six per second, with an original piano score by his ex-girlfriend Carly Comando.[8] Kalina uploaded the video in August 2006 where it received widespread attention and has since become the subject of homages and parodies. The long-term project is ongoing. Since 2009, Kalina has been using the Nikon Coolpix S10 to make his daily portrait.[9]

• In May 2012, Kalina created the official wedding portrait of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan in their backyard in Palo Alto, California.[1]
• In 2012, Disney selected Kalina to produce a series of photographs of their characters in their parks called "The Looking Glass".[10]
• In 2013, conglomerate General Electric commissioned Kalina to produce photographs in their newly opened $50 million jet engine testing site to document aviation developments.[11]
• In 2016, tech-giant Google sent Kalina to document through photography their data centers around the world.[12]
• In 2019, after major renovations, the Museum of Modern Art commissioned a series of photographs to highlight their reopening campaign "the New MoMA" (called "stunning" by Adobe).[13][14]

In July 2019, Kalina began to publish a popular email newsletter covering topics including photography and nature and Kalina has commented this project is his primary focus.[15][16] In October 2020, Kalina and commercial director Adam Lisagor launched the podcast All Consuming[17][18] where they review direct-to-consumer brands that advertise on Instagram.
