Biography
Biography
Neleman studied Fine Art at the Goldsmiths College of Art in London, England and specialized in photography and film while at the Polytechnic of Central London (now University of Westminster). Neleman then pursued studio arts at the master level at New York University before establishing himself in his field. Neleman's personal work includes still lifes and assemblages, while his commercial work has included fashion and celebrity portraiture, as well as advertising campaigns for clients like Nike, American Express and Sony. In the 90s, Neleman also directed several music videos for bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Judybats, and Die Toten Hosen. Neleman has also had several books published. His first, Moko: Maori Tattoo (1999), delved into the world of the Maori. Silence (2000) features the photographer's unique still lifes and Night Chicas (2003) explores the world of prostitutes in Guatemala. Neleman has most recently branched out from his photography. He first founded a boutique stock photography agency, WIN-Initiative, centered around youth culture imagery, and launched a quarterly online magazine, WINk. An international photography competition, 10 BEST 10, soon followed. Neleman also co-created an iPhone app for obtaining digital releases, iD Release
