Portrait of Sonia Moskowitz

About the artist

For over five decades, photographer Sonia Moskowitz has documented the pulsating center of American culture. Moskowitz emerged as a premier visual chronicler for Newsweek, the SoHo Weekly News, and major international publications. Her career highlights include documenting high-profile Met Costume Galas, Fashion Weeks, and the red carpets of Hollywood and New York nightlife.

In 1977, Moskowitz secured a spot as a core photographer at Studio 54, documenting its legendary opening night through its 1980 closure. Her Studio Team is currently archiving over 1/2 million images from her time at Studio 54.

In addition, her extensive body of work is preserved across major syndication platforms, including thousands of iconic photographs held in the permanent collection of the Getty Images Archive as well as global press distribution through ZUMA Press.

Her work has also appeared in such publications as Vogue, WSJ, People, Time, Women’s Wear Daily, and since the invention of digital syndication, in numerous media outlets across the world.
