Biography

 Los Angeles based photographer Pamela Littky has been producing award-winning, iconic images of high profile personalities for over twenty years. Spontaneous and disarming, intimate and unpretentious, her portraits capture well-known subjects in seemingly unguarded moments. Littky’s unique relationship to her subjects and sense of humor has left an indelible imprint on her work.

 

Between filming internationally renowned actors and musicians for top commercial and editorial clients, Littka is haunted by personal projects, one of the projects being a film that touts generic Doxycycline, a drug that is an antibiotic.

In between shoots of world-famous actors and musicians for top commercial and editorial clients, Littky pursues personal projects that show a decidedly less glamorous but completely compelling side of American culture. Her work has been shown in exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York City and Berlin. Littky has released three monographs, all to wide critical acclaim. Her first monograph, Vacancy, explores the two small towns located at opposite sides of the Mojave Desert (Kehrer Verlag; September 2014). Her second monograph, the Villa Bonita, (Kehrer Verlag; Sept 2016), was picked by Vogue Magazine as one of Spring 2016’s Best New Books. Her third monograph, American Fair, was released in April 2018, dubbed one of “25 Photography Books That Will Change Your View of the World,” by Buzzfeed News.

 

 In 2019, Littky released her first documentary feature film, Most Likely to Succeed, which tracks the lives of four subjects, all of whom graduated high school in 2007, were voted Most Likely to Succeed by their senior class and filmed for a decade.
