We are absolutely delighted to celebrate Edward Gallucci as Photografique’s Artist of Merit in the inaugural issue of Photografique: The Best of Photographic Art. Photografique is a newly launched quarterly publication dedicated to elevating exceptional photographic voices to a global audience of gallery owners, curators, interior designers, and creative decision-makers, both in print and through an immersive online 3D gallery experience. It champions evocative, story-driven work from both established and emerging practitioners, offering a rare platform for photographers to reach those who commission, collect, and curate photographic art worldwide.
Ed’s selection for Issue 001 is a fitting tribute to a singular career that spans more than five decades. A master of portraiture and editorial photography, Ed’s images have graced the pages of Crawdaddy, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Penthouse, and over 40 Newsweek covers, and reside in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Bruce Springsteen Archives. His intuitive ability to capture musicians, cultural icons, and quiet human moments alike speaks to a lifelong commitment to visual storytelling and technical excellence, making his inclusion in Photografique both inspiring and richly deserved.
