Career

In the mid 1990's Muñoz moved to New York City to begin his career in photography.^[1] In New York he studied under American fashion photographer Bob Richardson,^[1] and has photographed stories for many well-known magazines, including InStyle, Harper's Bazaar, Giant, Wallpaper, Jalouse, Numero, Muse, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times Magazine.

In a story on Muñoz called "Coasting West," the photography journal PhotoIcon wrote: "The extensive beaches of Southern California and the glitter of Los Angeles was a spiritual homecoming for Nino Muñoz. His experience of New York's fashion world made the move to photographing the Hollywood celebrity circuit a natural progression—and Nino's natural charm and warm personality has made him a popular society snapper in Hollywood."^[3]
