Car Pelleteri
Car Pelleteri, a New York City native, was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Car shoots portraiture in a journalistic, guerilla style with eyes for color and editorial composition. The themes in her work are bred by the working class neighborhoods of Bensonhurst and Canarsie in the ’80s. Moments in the lives of real people characterizes Car‘s photography.

At the age of ten, Car started photographing friends and herself, emulating editorials and magazine ads. She received her first Canon SLR when she was fifteen and continued shooting through high school and later studied photography at Hunter College and FIT. During the 2000s Car was a professional analog printer at B–Lab and Bond Street Print Lab, printing for Steven Klein, Patrick Demarchelier and Gilles Bensimon. As part of the downtown art scene, Car‘s photography was shown at Deitch in New York and at the Agnés B gallery in Paris and has been featured in BlackBook, Style.com and she, herself in a book titled The Brooklynites.
