Having grown up in Chicago, Playboy seemed a natural fit for the budding photographer. "I brought some slides to Playboy, asked if I could return to show more and a month later walked away with my first assignment." Malinowski would move on to Penthouse where he worked with Anna Wintour (current Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine). While there, the art director at Vogue, Rochelle Udell and Alexander Liberman saw his photos in Penthouse and brought him in to shoot a spread. This led to a thriving career in high fashion shooting for Harper's Bazaar (including French and Italian editions), Vogue, Valentino along with various perfume and make up ads. Malinowski has traveled all over the world and worked with some of the biggest names in modeling including Christie Brinkley, Iman, Cindy Crawford, Janice Dickinson and Gia Carangi.

Malinowski says he was influenced by Victor Skrebneski, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Bert Stern, Saul Leiter, Will McBride Horn & Griner and most of all Francis Giacobetti and Hans Feurer.
