The Registry

Born and bred New Englander I moved to NYC right before Sept 11th. It’s been a journey. I feel fortunate to be able to work with some of the most talented people on the planet week in and week out.

I got my start in the photo world while working in the Art Dept at Mary Howard Studio. From there I moved into the tech role assisting a number of photographers. I left NYC in 2016 and have been enjoying all that the Hudson Valley has had to offer ever since.

I was always a fan, but smartest thing I ever did was tell him to "run wild" , to shoot in a way that no one else had given him the opportunity to do previously. The results are amazing. A book I'm very, very proud of, largely because of Bobby's pictures. He far surpassed my wildest expectations." ANTHONY BOURDAIN, Chef, Author, Television personality.

A transplant from Sweden—by way of Italy—to the magical world that is Hudson Valley, Helena Palazzi began her journey into the world of photography as a teen growing up in the 1980’s and 90’s with a secondhand analog camera and a hand-me-down black and white darkroom in her family garage. Athirst for inspiration, Helena’s journey took her to her father’s homeland, Italy, in 1993. Alongside a group of other young photographers she founded a photographic studio in Perugia, Umbria and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts. Less than two years later, her first solo exhibition opened in Perugia, followed by a number of years filled with group and solo exhibits around Europe. The many events showcased Helena’s works of mixed media and traditional photography. Helena landed in NYC in 1998, set on pursuing a career in commercial photography. The visuals of fashion and beauty industries exerted a strong pull on the artist. Her storytelling ways, combined with her refined sense of imagery put Helena in the same collaborative sphere with some of the world’s most renowned clients and creatives. Helena’s work radiates a forever mixture of her Scandinavian and Southern European roots: her style is timeless, elegant and sprinkled with whimsy. Since 2019 Helena has made Kingston NY her home, amplifying the changing urban environment with the opening of her commercial and fine art photography studio Yellow House Production and Art by Helena Palazzi. Enchanted by Hudson Valley, Helena continues to welcome in equal measure the area’s clientele and her NYC business, growing her studio to engage in a diverse lineup of projects ranging from fashion and beauty to high-end product photography, real estate and corporate & personal branding deluxe lifestyle portraits and narrative videography.

In 2010, his solo exhibition Next Stop Atlantic documented the disposal of New York subway trains at sea to form artificial coral reefs. He was commissioned by the New York Times Magazine to shoot the film Behind The Curtain, a time lapse movie documenting two days behind the scenes of the Metropolitan Opera in 2013. Mallon’s projects often require months or years of production. His short film about the transportation and installation of the new Willis Avenue Bridge was created from over 30,000 still images. The film, “A Bridge Delivered,” was reviewed by the Wall St Journal, New York Magazine, GQ, PDN, andWIRED. It was then screened in five festivals in New York, Los Angeles and Bristol, England. Stephen’s project following the MTA’a artificial reef project where over 2000 subway cars were placed in the Atlantic was shown at The New York Transit Museum’s Grand Central Terminal Gallery. Over 60,000 people experienced the exhibition and was featured by Gothamist, Artnet, Yahoo, Fox News, and numerous other outlets. As David Schonauer wrote in Pro Photo Daily, “Mallon’s word harkens back to the heroic industrial landscapes of Margaret Bourke-White and Charles Sheeler, who glorified American steel and found art in its industrial muscle and smoke during the Great Depression.” He has also been compared to photographers including Edward Burtynsky, Thomas Struth and Chris Jordan. “Machines Of Interest”, a curated selection of Mallon’s workt was on display at the National Museum of Industrial History for over nine months and is now at the Johnstown Area Heritage Association until spring of 2022. Mallon served as a board member of the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers from 2002 until 2020 and served as president from 2006 to 2009. He is represented by Front Room Gallery in New York.
