While earning a degree in economics at the University of Michigan, Jesse Frohman picked up a camera and never put it down. When he returned home to New York, he did not have any formal professional experience, but he did have a portfolio of platinum prints, which caught the interest of legendary photographer Irving Penn, who hired Jesse to manage his studio. It was an incomparable apprenticeship. Jesse has added his own touches of strength, dignity and quiet energy to the techniques and aesthetics he learned from Pennn, all of which are evident in his pictures. Jesse has photographed countless celebrities and still lifes. In addition to his work for magazines, advertising, and recording companies, he has been commissioned to create two award-winning photographic books. His work is also in many private collections. Jesse currently lives and works in New York.

So, he copies Penn and does inferior work. Big Deal!!!
