Ned Ambler

Ned Ambler (born 1968 or 1969)[1] is an American fine artist[2] [3][4], actor[5] and a talent scout who has found models for advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein and Gap.[6]

Ambler attended a boarding school in Connecticut. From 1987 he attended New York University Film School and worked part-time. While working odd jobs for L'Uomo Vogue in 1993 he was asked to find ten street children; this was the beginning of his job as talent scout.[7] Ambler specializes in the "new realism" style, finding his models on the streets or in clubs and bars in New York.[8] He has worked with photographers Richard Avedon, Steven Meisel and Steven Klein.[7] He supplied the models for the 1995 cK Be advertisement campaign that helped make it the best selling perfume in the United States.[8]

By 1999 Ambler's work as talent scout had become less intense; he branched out into photography and worked on a book[9] and filmmaking[10][11][12]. In 2011 he began working as an illustrator and art director, 2011[13]
