Brad Farwell studied Architecture at Yale University before receiving his MFA in Photo from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine and McSweeneys Quarterly, and shown at the Noorderlicht Photo Festival in the Netherlands, The Jones Center in Austin, and The American Academy in Rome, among others. He has been paid money to photograph aspiring Fabios at a romance novel convention, document a museum installation of smells, and shoot sculptures made of ice cream. He lives in the Bronx with his brilliant wife and two small but disproportionately mischievous children.
