Todd Cole is a photographer and director with thirty years of work across fashion, advertising, and film. He has shot campaigns for Hermès, Rodarte, Nike, Apple, Under Armour, and Macy's, and editorial for i-D, Purple, Self Service, Vogue, T Magazine, and 032C. His Rodarte short-film trilogy — starring Elijah Wood and Elle Fanning — screened at the Hammer Museum, REDCAT, and AFI Film Festival, and toured European museums as part of Out of Fashion. His feature debut, END ZONE, is in development at Vice Studios. Across every medium, the work is narrative first — character and place before anything else.
