Judith Puckett-Rinella

Judith Puckett-Rinella is the founder and president of Whisper Editions. She began her career as a photography editor, rising through the ranks at distinguished magazines like BlackBook and Details to become the photography director at T: The New York Times Style Magazine and, most recently, Vanity Fair. Puckett-Rinella has worked with virtually every eminent photographer in the country, including Joel-Peter Witkin, Annie Leibowitz, Nadav Kander, Mark Seliger, Stephen Shore, and William Eggleston. She has also overseen shoots with the brightest stars from the worlds of art and entertainment, among them Penelope Cruz, Jeff Koons, George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Sean Penn, Sophia Coppola, Mick Jagger, Julia Roberts, and Lou Reed. She has been nominated for four Emmy Awards and has won two Webby Awards.

Whisper Editions is the culmination of Puckett-Rinella’s many years as a top creative talent in magazines. As a young editor, she was taken with the magical combustion that results when a perfect match was made between subject and photographer. Her desire to make magical connections between a demand and the right talent broadened over the years to encompass every aspect of her life, as she sought to create more perfect matches between needs and answers, be they subject and photographer, ring and finger, mantel and sculpture, empty wall and art, or reader and book. Whisper is Puckett-Rinella’s unique way of delivering to discriminating collectors the kind of highly curated, personally recommended excellence she has spent her whole career cultivating.
