While photographing the fog on Monte Sano one morning, I caught a snap with Chelsea in the background. I really like the supernatural quality the fog gave to her. I have a couple images from different shoots with a similar look, thinking i might have stumbled onto a series, ha!
A painter's perspective
This series is a unique glimpse into my mother's studio.
I came up to my mother's house with the intent of photographing her in her studio, as requested by Agora, the New York gallery that represents her. However, what I thought would be a 20-30 minute session of my mother posing "at work", turned into an hour of the two of us silently working around one another as we both fell into a creative trance. I ended up going a lot more interpretive with the images than I had initially imagined but, much as my mother describes her own creative flow, it was just what came through me that day.
My mother is a painter. Her style is most easily described as modern or abstract. You can see more of her work at artbytiril.com and I am working on a small interview and sampling of her paintings that will be posted here soon.
A vintage kinda love
A personal experiment into the popular style of creating "vintage" photos. Chelsea and I actually had a lot of fun taking these shots during a break from shopping at bridgestreet. I also really enjoyed playing around with them on photoshop tweaking the look. Hot highlights, some selective blurring, an old paper file and several layers later...i was rather pleased with the result :)
