Over one thousand of AJ Stetson’s photographic portraits are part of the permanent collection of New York’s first museum, the New-York Historical Society.
A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, AJ is a New York City-based photographer who strives to promote empathy, and to share the radiance of others through image-making with curiosity and wonder, authenticity and integrity.
A drone pilot and scuba diver, classical singer and fitness trainer, AJ captures still and moving images aerially, underwater, on location, and in the studio.
