Born in New York, Franklin Thompson developed an interest in photography at a young age watching his dad's passion for photography. After minoring in fashion design and a brief stint in the music industry, he decided to pursue a career as a fashion photographer.

Fast forward a decade, Franklin now shoots and directs beauty, fashion & advertising stills and videos with a client list that includes Olay, Pantene, Sephora, TRESemme, Ulta Beauty, Benefit Cosmetics, Buxom Cosmetics, Cover Girl, Conde Nast, Grey Worldwide, JWalk, MullenLowe, P&G, Publicis and Saatchi & Saatchi.

Currently living in Brooklyn, New York, Franklin enjoys spending time with his wife and children. He shoots high end digital for clients and old school black & white film for fun with a host of cameras from his vintage camera collection.
