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 Sephora, TRESemme, Ulta Beauty, Benefit Cosmetics, Buxom Cosmetics, Cover Girl, Conde Nast, Grey Worldwide, JWalk, Essence, and L’Officiel.

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.
