Lyle Owerko is a filmmaker and photographer whose diverse roster of clients has ranged from Sundance Channel to TIME Magazine to MTV. His photos are collected by many business, entertainment and celebrity clients, and his work is also included in the permanent archive of the Library of Congress in Washington DC.

Recently Lyle traveled to Africa as part of Dr Jeffrey Sachs’ Millennium Promise initiative, and his photographs of the Lau people of Sauri, Kenya will soon grace their offices around the globe. Projects in development range from the multi-media exhibition "Faces of Poverty" for the UN, to an art installation of large-scale portraits of the Samburu Warrior tribe, as well as a book on vintage consumer electronics.

In a morning that will stay with him forever, Lyle shot the cover photograph of Time Magazine on September 11, 2001. In 2005 the society of American Magazine Publishers ranked it as one of the 40 most important magazine covers in the last 40 years. Further acknowledgement for Lyle’s work has come from the New York and German Art Directors Clubs, the AIGA, American Photo, Print Magazine, Step into Design, The Type Directors Club, The One Club, New York Festivals and a Grand Prix from the Cannes Advertising Festival.

Lyle travels extensively around the world each year shooting assignments and personal work. He was raised in Calgary, Canada, studied at the Pratt Institute (where he earned a Masters in Science degree in the communication arts program). He resides in TriBeca with his girlfriend Shaundra and their dog Luna.

A portion of Lyle’s personal and professional work as a photographer and director can be viewed at the following website and in the self-published book “And No Birds Sang”, featuring images from September 11th, 2001.

    BANKSY-pp28-29



    BANKSY'S BRISTOL, HOME SWEET HOME.


    This book is a celebration of Banksy’s Bristol street art that puts him in the context of 3D, John Nation from the Barton Hill Settlement, Inkie, Nick Walker and the other artists and musicians who were instrumental in linking Bristol to the original New York hip hop scene.


    It is the most revealing account written so far of Banksy’s formative years and contains more than 100 images of his Bristol art and pictures of Banksy at work which have never been published before.


    Steve Wright traces Banksy’s roots back to the rave culture of the Nineties and draws a rounded picture of an artist who is most famous for being anonymous.
