Ultimately what makes the

it contains on a historical level. Not
only does his ever-increasing archive
contain present day celebrities, people,
and places but McMullan’s extensive
archive (spanning over 40 years) is
believed to be, “one of the largest
photo archives of famous, living people
in existence.” Patrick McMullan’s
archive is a visual Who's Who that is an
invaluable resource to the media and the
individual.

working at the club magazine Details in
the 1980’s, McMullan’s work has become
infinitely pervasive in both daily life
and pop culture. His work appears

With a career spanning
over four decades, Patrick McMullan is
one of the world’s most celebrated
party, fashion, and society
photographers. He holds many
philanthropic issues close to his heart.
As a cancer survivor himself (in 1981),
he’s given much of his time to raise
awareness, funding, and press for
organizations such as the National
Hemophilia Foundation, the Fire
Department of New York Foundation
(official calendar), and Art Walk to
benefit The Coalition for the Homeless.
Ultimately McMullan has
impacted pop culture and New York City
nightlife in ways never imagined. He has
a very extensive archive collection
which highlights all he has seen, lived
through and photographed – and that it
did, in fact, happen! And for that the
