Over the course of his career, he has photographed Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Mary J.

His campaign for Keep A Child Alive raised over one million dollars for children with AIDS in just three days.
Born in Switzerland of French, Italian, Jewish, and Hungarian descent, Klinko spent his early years training as a classical harp soloist, studying at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris. He went on to sign an exclusive recording contract with EMI Classics and a management contract with Columbia Artists Management, receiving the Grand Prix du Disque for his recording of French harp music with members of the orchestra of the Paris Opéra Bastille. He performed in recitals and as a featured soloist with symphony orchestras around the world, and was regularly featured in publications including Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair, GQ, The New York Times, Madame Figaro, Stereo Review, and Ongaku no Tomo.
