We know many fashion designers, brands and magazines. But we do not know much about photographers, people behind the camera and responsible for brands’ identity and visual existence. Through this article you may be discovering Kito Muñoz, a fashion photographer and his impact in the fashion industry. 

Kito Muñoz, is a Paris based artist, originally from Spain. He was born in Cadiz, if we are correct. He is young, talented and creative. He is a photographer, mostly operating within the fashion industry, but also in the music industry and working for magazines. He is not just a photographer, but more a visual artist, playing with images, people, clothes and controversy.

Kito works for and with many fashion brands and designers. He collaborates with Maison Margiela for example, Valentino, Maison Soksi and more. Mostly to present and show collections from these brands. It can be only taking pictures as well as shooting some videos and producing content. Just have a look at some of his work for these brands:

Apart from fashion designers, he also works for many big magazines, and he has created several pieces of art for them. Yes, our words are strong, but we truly consider taking photographs as an Art and Kito is an artist. Just look at some of his work for magazines.

He mostly stays into fashion, but he goes from collaborating with brands for the launch of new collections, to fashion magazines and more. He explores everything in the industry and does not stick to one category. We like that, the fact that he is active in many different aspects of his art in this field, and we like to see the result for various clients. 

Yeah, Kito Muñoz has “no limit”, do not be shocked if you see some sexual or political references in his work. Also, humans are nature and beautiful so get prepared to see everything and every body through his work. He is mostly focused on men and their bodies. That is why most of his work shows half naked or completely naked men. Also, sexual offence and references are not a problem for him and this result in suggestive representations. 

If you are not prepared to watch, then scroll to the next passage.

He dares, he creates and that is amazing. On his website and his agent website, you can find more explicit content and see naked people. We will not show it here, to not offend our audience, but feel free to click on the link if you are not “shocked” or do not feel uncomfortable watching it. It is not porn but art. 

Finally, he also worked for and with many artists, especially musicians. For example, he worked with Aron Piper for Hercules Universal magazine.

As you have seen and read through this article, Kito Muñoz is a brave and outrageous photographer that we love. We wanted to let you know about him and his work since he is focusing on a part under-represented in fashion: men and their bodies. Yes, you can see everything about men in his art but the final results and his creations are amazing. That can also explain why he is still working in fashion. He knows how to highlight someone or something and he dares to provoc by playing with some society issues. We should keep an eye on him and his future, because we think that it will become brighter and better.
