Photographer & DP
Project 243
For this personal project, photographer Kyle Lieberman teamed up with a stylist to build a fashion editorial around a single song — translating its mood into a neon-soaked, near-cyberpunk world of blue-lit corridors, platinum hair, shattered glass, and layered futuristic streetwear. The shoot is a return to image-making for its own sake: no brief, no client, just track on repeat and a visual world built to match. Based between New York City and Salt Lake City, Lieberman is a commercial photographer and director of photography known for automotive, motorsports, and outdoor lifestyle work, bringing a grit-forward aesthetic to campaigns shot from studio to mountain to desert.
