Eddie Collins, Founder & CEO of Creative Space Artists (CSA) is originally from Sydney, Australia. He was only 19 when he independently moved to Paris, France, where he began learning photography, shooting for model agencies there, and across Europe. At the age of 25, Eddie moved to New York City: his expectation was to continue and expand his photographic work, and after several years of working for some of the biggest fashion photographers in the fashion industry as an assistant, he eventually emerged as a fashion and beauty photographer himself. 

 

After a successful career as a photographer working with some of the most well-known brands worldwide he decided to expand his horizons and soon after established Creative Space Artists in 2004.

 
Eddie has a passion and knack for developing talent and helping artists achieve their creative aspirations. He also seeks to enhance the lives of young adults that have gone through the foster care system by using CSA as a platform for those with such hardships in the early stages of their careers. With Eddie’s experiences through the system himself, living in multiple families as a child, his greatest ambition is to provide opportunities for those who don’t typically imagine such to be possible.
 
A specific opportunity that carries this out, is the, “CSA lnternship Program”. This program was created with the intent to train and develop so as to eventually place top candidates in assisting roles within our competitive photo industry. Those various roles include assisting positions to producers, photographers, videographers, producers, stylists, hair & makeup artists- whatever they discover to be their aspirations.
