Moshe and Rivka Katvan met as students while attending the School of Visual Arts. Years later, they remain partners in life and photography, combining their unique skills to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Together, they collaborate on all people shoots and support one another on their separate projects.

Individually, Moshe shoots all still life projects. His years of still life experience have helped him hone his classic technique, while always being one of the first in the industry to adopt new creative trends and digital technologies.

Rivka is world-renowned for her photographic studies of the Broadway theater, as seen in her Abrams book, “Backstage: Broadway Behind the Curtain.” In addition, she has won numerous awards and acclaim for her projects and exhibits.

The Katvans are also exploreing other forms of fine art, such as painting and drawing. Experimenting with different art mediums has enhanced their creativity, adding new facets to their personal and professional journeys.

Above all, Moshe and Rivka are client-friendly. They always go the extra mile to fulfill a client’s needs and vision, whatever the size of the project. And their clients always leave satisfied — with the work itself, and the fabulous spread of mouth-watering goodies that Rivka always provides. It’s this kind of personal warmth and professional excellence that has led to many long-lasting relationships with most of the people they work with.

When you work with the Katvans you may come in as a client, but you’ll leave as a friend.
