Chasing LightWelcome. This is where I share my work and also the work of others, those that inspire me, the weird, the great, the unusual.
It is a goddamn marvel this life. Take a look.
Saint Petersburg | Vi, Standing, Camisole IV
Ellen von Unwerth | Her Best Shot
I took this maybe three years ago, on a fashion shoot for Italian Vogue.
Nolita | Lovely Day
Moscow | Galina I
Galina was a Playboy model in Russia that I coordinated with and booked through a model directory.
As the owner of a photo studio rental in Saint Petersburg told me, Russia is filled with beautiful women who want their photo taken.
Indeed.
David Hurn | Hard Day’s Night
LONDON—The police restrain fans who line the railway bank in hopes of seeing the Beatles as their train passes through on its daily trip, during the filming of A Hard Day’s Night, 1964.
New York | The Feast of San Gennaro
Saint Petersburg | Vi III
John Dominis | Mickey Mantle
That’s my technique with people. I’m sort of a fly on the wall.
Buenos Aires | La Boca
Spent an afternoon in the La Boca barrio of Buenos Aires.
As always on a wander, you turn the corner, you never know what you fill stumble upon.
Garry Winogrand | Contact Sheet, 1961
Hollywood | Virginia & Erin
I was in a workshop with a photographer and she was flipping through my portfolio and when she came across this photo, she said:
Pretty girls doing yucky things.
She pulled it aside as a select.
Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen | Byker
Often, if you go with the natural light and the fairly casual approach, you tend not to come away with stately portraiture.
Flatiron | Alex on 23rd
One of my favorite images.
Ellen von Unwerth | Naomi Campbell, 1991
Technique undoubtedly helps make photography magical, but I prefer to work with atmosphere.
Brooklyn | Anika
Anika is letting her gray hair show and good lord, I am happy for it
Mona Kuhn | Untitled Self B, 1996
Kyiv | Katja
I don’t know how to lie with my camera.
Los Angeles | Sonic Youth
Lucky enough to have shot Sonic Youth for the Sunset Junction festival in LA in 2002
Saint Petersburg | RedFox, Bathroom
