About the Author
Major publications and corporations around the world have long sought out Oppedisano as their photographer of choice for high-end fashion spreads, cover shoots and advertising campaigns. In addition to
Testosterone, and multiple wall calendars that reflect his raw hyper-masculine style, his first film
Knockout! was released in May 2008 by Greenwood/Cooper, a division of Village Lighthouse, Inc., to document one of his best-selling calendar photo shoots.
Oppedisano s latest claim to fame includes a Broadway poster image he shot for the inimitable drag cabaret duo, Kiki & Herb, as well as a piece in New York Magazine about a controversial poster he shot for Artfuckers, an Off-Broadway play. Some of his other recent achievements include the 25th anniversary Calvin Klein spread published in Italian magazine Collezioni Uomo, and album covers for Ari Gold, Colton Ford, Daphne Rubin Vega, Raven O and IO in addition to Colton Ford s new music video for That s Me, of which he directed. Oppedisano also won an award last year from the Fashion Institute of Technology for his outstanding contribution to the fashion-art world.

Additionally, he served as a film competition judge, and had a gallery showing and his own party thrown by the festival, including a special performance from Ford. Oppedisano is one of the leading photographers on Internet blog sites like Towleroad.com, OhLaLaMag.com, Beautifulmag.eu, and Connex247.com, due in part to his shots of some of today s hottest male models, including Jeremy Mulkey and Joseph Sayers, one of the most memorable Abercrombie & Fitch models and of whose photo spread in last year s Blue Magazine was one of Oppedisano s most well known. Furthermore, he is known for his featured photography in such esteemed publications as Esquire, New York Times Magazine, Men s Health, Time Out, Pref, refresh, MR., Instinct, DNA and Gay Times, and his advertisements for Pepe Jeans and red carpet favorite Carmen Marc Valvo.
