Frank W. Ockenfels III

[5][6] He has also done promotional photography for films and television shows like Breaking Bad,[7] House of Cards, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean among many others.

[5][8][9] Ockenfels was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania[10] but grew up in Lockport, New York, a suburb of Niagara Falls.

[9] Shortly after the Rolling Stone shoot, Frank met Carol LeFlufy who is still representing him today.

During the 2008 United States presidential election campaign, Ockenfels snapped portraits of future president, Barack Obama.

[14] His work has also been a part of several group shows including the traveling David Bowie is exhibition which has appeared in museums in London, Chicago, Paris, and, most recently, Melbourne.

[18] Earlier in his career, Ockenfels often used minimal equipment for his shoots (typically one light and a mid-range Hasselblad camera).

[19] Frank Ockenfels Volume 3 puts together his creative work into a collection of images that provide a window into his visual thinking, the internal world of imagery and emotions in his mind.

Subjected to ink, collage, or paint, the images are no longer just photographs of an individual, but become a more personal statement of who the artist is, of his psyche and as such, creative artistry in its purest form.

He creates waking dreams, images that represent the darkest, least-illuminated aspects of his unconscious projected on the person he has photographed.
