I loved shooting Chantal and Noah’s wedding. They’re both really talented artists and I did not take the assignment lightly. Theirs are some of my favorite wedding photos I’ve taken so far. Special thanks to my friend @ethanhickerson , a photographer whose work I’ve always admired, for lending his eye and his kindness as well. I’m currently booking weddings for 2025. You can find my email in my profile.

Finally uploaded years of new work to my website which @margaretmercer rebranded for me—and absolutely knocked it out of the park—in 2023. Link is in my bio, but please open it on a computer for the optimal viewing experience. Here are some screenshots of my favorite images. It’s a weird time to be a freelancer but I am very thankful for all of the work I’ve booked thus far. I think I’m on year five of self-employment?

Beyond honored to be included in @esquire ’s Big Black Book as one of “11 Americans with Style We Love.” Always weird to be on the other side of the lens but it was a special experience to be photographed by @jamesmacari . Had to rock my beloved @umitbenan trucker I got many years ago with my allowance at Carson Street. You can read the brief interview we did on Esquire’s site.

Few fashion designers know how to savor life quite like @brunellocucinelli . The 72-year-old Italian cashmere magnate is famed for turning Solomeo, the Umbrian hamlet where his company is headquartered, into something of a corporate utopia—a reported 1,500 employees live and work there, enjoying high wages, communal lunches, and beautifully manicured grounds. His exquisite wares are beloved by titans of industry, many of whom are known to make pilgrimages to Solomeo to study Cucinelli’s abiding ethos of “ethical capitalism.” He is almost always smiling in photographs. Now, Cucinelli has captured the breadth of his life in a new film, Brunello: The Gracious Visionary. Directed by Oscar winner Giueppe Tornatore, the documentary intersperses interviews with the designer, his family, his employees, and his celebrity clients with lush recreations of his formative years. At the link in bio, the Italian cashmere king tells GQ columnist Christopher Fenimore about his rules for getting dressed, what it means to be a good man, and why “we are in dire need of poetry.” Story and photographs by @c.fenimore

In Medias Res with @justinfelizzari of @cueva_shop . Talked about a bunch of things including his retail passion and foundation, how he converted his shop from online-only to brick-and-mortar at the most unlikely of times, how he first acquired brands like Our Legacy and Barena, and much more which you can read at the Substack link in my bio. No paywall on this one.

The Real-Life Wardrobe of Brunello Cucinelli. I had the pleasure of photographing and interviewing Mr. Cucinelli for the latest installment of my column with @gq which you can read on their site. We discussed his epic journey from a rural Italian farm to the top of the fashion ladder, why he felt the need to make his new documentary film film, and the chicest thing a man can wear.

Disciples of Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE’s particular brands of cerebral, world-building rap know that the two poets pour everything into their releases. So when the longtime friends released their collaborative double album, POMPEII // UTILITY this month, the hype reached a new peak. For @c.fenimore s latest Real Life Wardrobe column, the two go deep on their style influences (early inspiration came from Jadakiss and MF Doom), becoming “fashioned the f*ck out” in high school, and why Odd Future belongs in the pantheon of streetwear history.

In Medias Res with the legend @danieldeletunji . Head to the link in my bio to read our conversation and see his final outfit. We talked about his storied career, @studio.raisonne , why he rarely shops for new garments, a new pair of jeans he can’t stop wearing, and more.

When GQ columnist @c.fenimore asks funk virtuoso @thundercatmusic what his life was like before music, he shrugs. “There is nothing prior to music,” he replies. Fair enough. At the link in bio, read Thundercat’s ‘Real Life Wardrobe’ interview, where he talks about his new album, Distracted (out today), shopping in Japan, fangirling over Rick Owens, and why he’s fine with people thinking he dresses like Gene Simmons.
