Career
Since first exploring filmmaking in 1995, Lippman has directed many commercials and groundbreaking viral videos. In addition to commercial lifestyle photography, Lippman also photographs celebrities. Over the years, he has made portraits of Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Piven, Pierce Brosnan, Jared Leto, Taylor Kitsch, and Jordana Brewster, among many others, and photographed musical acts such as the All American Rejects, Ben Harper, and Incubus.
An avid environmentalist, Lippman is the director of the Blue Project, which works to protect the Earth’s oceans by teaming with other marine-oriented charitable organizations.
In 2010, Ron Herman’s men’s store in Malibu, California, hosted an exhibition of Lippman’s work, titled “Waves,” to raise money for Save the Waves. The event featured eight signature images that Lippman crafted using photos from his archives along with treatments consisting of metal, wood, plants, and melted Polaroids.
He also collaborated with Herman on a limited-edition clothing line that was sold at the event, also benefiting Save the Waves. Lippman, who in 2010 was honored by SurfAid International, a nonprofit humanitarian organization whose aim is to improve the health, well-being, and self-reliance of people living in isolated communities, also he volunteers his time to Surfers Healing, which provides autistic children with the opportunity to experience the thrill of surfing.
He is represented by Stockland Martel.
