Felix De N’Yeurt has joined Adolescent as head talent manager. De N’Yeurt comes to Adolescent from WME Lens/IMG division. She has a background growing and repping leading photographers and directors in the industry from Steven Klein to Santiago & Mauricio. Although she was heavily courted by photo agencies and talent management companies, De N’Yeurt chose Adolescent as her new home.
“Over the past 27 years I have had the privilege of working with some of the industry’s most creative talent; I’m proud to have played a part in getting them opportunities and setting them up for successful careers in our industry. Born and raised in the U.K., I began my career in a photo rental studio in New York City where I was able to observe and understand the industry from the ground level. I went on to work for some of the industry’s most respected talent agencies, representing a diverse range of artists across art, entertainment and advertising. I’m truly excited to join Adolescent as the work that their GenZ Creators are doing inspires me tremendously. Many of these creators are coming from inner city and rural towns.”
Adolescent continues to build its talent roster, signing over the past six months such artisans as Lou Jasmine, a Black, female identifying, British director/photographer, and Shingi Rice, a self-taught fashion and portrait photographer of British Zimbabwean origin.
