Blaise Cepis

location: NY & LA, USA

Cepis is an established photographer and director known for creating work that is bright, warm, playfully absurd, subtly opulent, and a touch surreal—a celebration of the exaggerated human condition and the unique traits that make people unforgettable.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, Blaise began his career as an Art Director at leading agencies like JWT, Mother, and Sid Lee, shaping campaigns for iconic brands such as Vespa, Cadillac, Red Bull, PepsiCo, Absolut, and Smirnoff. Since stepping behind the lens, he’s seamlessly blended his commercial experience with fine art sensibilities to craft work for an impressive roster of collaborators, including Calvin Klein, Adidas, Standard Hotels, Virgin Hotels, Away Travel, Remy Martin, Velveeta, Bombas, Chevrolet, Headspace, Parade, Impossible Foods, The New Yorker, NBC, and Vice.
