Ty Cole is an award-winning photographer driven by a passion for design, technology, and a curiosity about the ways humans interact with their environments, whether built or natural. This enthusiasm has led to a career collaborating with renown design firms, publications, and corporate brands. Ty's photography is a hybrid of technical acuity and spontaneity, resulting in bold yet nuanced images that have appeared on the pages of Architectural Digest, Fortune, and The New York Times among others. His commercial portfolio includes partnerships with brands such as HP, Apple, and Marriott.
In addition to his photography, Ty has recently expanded his creative scope by stepping into the role of curator. He made his curatorial debut with "Capital Brutalism" at the National Building Museum in Washington DC, where he not only co-curated the exhibit but is a featured artist.
