the essence of performance

“Whether it's the flash of vulnerability in a quiet studio portrait or the electric energy of a live show, I’m drawn to those honest, unscripted moments that reveal something real. That’s where the magic lives.”
- Hanged Man
Hanged Man is a New Orleans-based photographer and visual artist with a focus on burlesque, performance, and uniquely inspired portraiture. Taking influence from the Tarot card of the same name, we believe that sometimes the most powerful images come from seeing things differently; turning the world upside down to find the truth in it.

Hanged Man’s work is about connection. Between performer and camera, emotion and image, moment and memory. His aim to make images that don’t just document, they resonate.

Let’s make something unforgettable.
