Taylor and I spent a fun and chilly afternoon running around the East Village doing head shot portraits for one of her plays.

Trish
PortraitsTrish and I had a mutual friend and met during a showing of 1973 version of The Wicker Man, which is my favourite movie (and as it turned out, also completely apropos). Trish is a writer so we made use of my ostrich quill after deciding to do a shoot in the East Village. We shot around Rivington for this series and it ended up being a lot of fun!
Nora
PortraitsNora is a dancer I met when I shot a Fringe performance rehearsal at Westbeth one evening. It turned out we had a few mutual friends and we hit it off. I did a series of her doing some dance movements around Greenwich Village, as well as testing out my fisheye lens. I found the fisheye to be a lot of fun with dance and movement. Nora was a joy to work with and incredibly expressive, so I took a chance on a different approach and ended up using her as a model for a fashion shoot with IQ Test later that month.
Chelsea
UncategorizedMy friend Chelsea had just decided to leave her longtime home in the East Village and move back to the other side of the country. We did this shoot with the vintage suitcase to commemorate that.
Francesca
PortraitsOne of my early portrait shoots was done on iPhone with Francesca, who at the time was contemplating a move into the NYC improv comedy scene. Francesca’s love for unusual fashion and character impressions made for a terrific jaunt around the East Village.
