About Deborah Anderson, Photographer & Multimedia Artist

The photographic art of Deborah Anderson—"a photographer whose distinctive sensuality is located somewhere between classic French erotica and Helmut Newton" (Los Angeles Times)—adorns the walls of such notables as Sir Elton John, Cheryl Tiegs, Kid Rock, famed interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard and jewelry designer Loree Rodkin. The renowned Gansevoort Hotel Group in New York and Miami, where her art also appears throughout the property, showcases her sensual book Paperthin (Verlhac) as the in-room featured coffee table book. As art director for the two hotels, she is also currently working on the new Gansevoort Park project (opening September 2010) in Manhattan, which features her other book Room 23 (daab) in all 249 guest rooms. For the book, she photographed 100 celebrities to raise funds and awareness for the Sanela Diana Jenkins International Justice Clinic at the UCLA Law School Human Rights Center. The first of three children, Deborah Anderson was born in London to Jennifer and Jon Anderson, legendary rock vocalist of the band YES. This multimedia artist followed in her father’s footsteps, performing with such artists as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Zero 7, DJ Shadow, Le Tone and Telepopmusik. Following her mother’s passion for photography, Anderson taught herself the art of taking pictures while her music took her to various cities around the world. Her photography has graced the pages and covers of many albums and magazines—from P!nk’s “Funhouse” to GQ, ELLE, Playboy and Architectural Digest
