About Thomas Giarraffa

My name is Thomas Giarraffa, and I am a creative photographer and producer based in Staten Island, New York. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography with a minor in Art History from the Fashion Institute of Technology. With a strong foundation in traditional photography and years of experience across commercial, editorial, and production sets, I bring a deep understanding of creative direction, visual editing, and studio management. Over the past decade, I have managed projects and exhibitions, producing both still photos and multimedia works for high-profile clients including Rockstar Games, HBO, Disney, Puma, and Nike.I am proficient in a wide range of software, including Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, AfterEffects, Bridge, Illustrator, InDesign), CaptureOne, Cinema4D, and Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). My skills also extend to working with various camera equipment—both digital and analog—and lighting equipment from brands like Prophoto and Godox.With excellent communication and leadership abilities, I am skilled in balancing multiple objectives, quickly adapting to new environments, and leading teams to produce high-quality creative content.Portfolio:
