I have always been a firm believer in the phrase “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life” & the past few months have really hit that mantra home even harder. The next few posts are going to be some images I took while working on a special project at @fashionphile for our 2022 Holiday campaign. It was honestly a dream come true! Cheers to the outstanding teams that made this all happen! Go take a peak at the Gift Guide today and get shopping!! 🥂🎉📸🛍 Link in bio
Heinz Trökes – AUGENREISEN (Eye Journeys at the Camaro House)
As an artist, networker, and co-founder of the legendary Gerd Rosen Gallery, Heinz Trökes (1913-1997) created a space in Berlin in 1945 where the avant-garde re-emerged and a new intellectual awakening began. His voice was as indispensable in the postwar debates as his paintings, which reflected the hunger for freedom and cosmopolitanism.
Exploring the world was central to his life and work. For Trökes, travel was not merely a change of location, but a driving force for renewal. Impressions, landscapes, encounters – all of this transformed in his work into vividly colored, poetic visual worlds that form the centerpiece of the exhibition.
The fact that the Alexander and Renata Camaro Foundation is dedicated to Trökes is also related to an early encounter that connects the two artists. In 1946, Trökes met Alexander Camaro (1901–1992) near Quedlinburg, recognized the similarity in their artistic approaches, and helped him secure his first solo exhibition at the Gerd Rosen Gallery that same year. This led to a lifelong friendship.
The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover Trökes as a traveler, source of inspiration and visionary artist – and to see the world through his eyes: open, curious, full of movement.

The three large-format canvases are characteristic of the interdisciplinary artist Alexander Camaro (1901–1992), who was a significant figure in the postwar Berlin art scene as a painter, dancer, and cabaret performer. On view now @camarostiftung@galleryweekendberlin #berlinart #gallery #painting
So excited to finally share this fabulous project with you all! Thank you to @bellemcdonnell and @kaciehosmer for always trusting me with your precious memories! 💕🫶Thank you to @stylemepretty for publishing it! Thank you to Emma for coordinating this!
When I started my plan of my attack for this event and what I wanted to achieve here I knew tha shooting a sunset event on the beach was a beautiful race against the setting sun. The prettier the sunset gets, the darker it becomes at harder to shoot. I needed a solution.
I thought “what if I could just set up my studio lighting and not have to worry about light?” Well, I packed up my gear and said let’s give it a try!
Twas such a magical evening, it was August but the zero humidity and 72 degrees with not a cloud in the sky - the stars were aligning.
Around 8:30, the sun set and it was getting very difficult to shoot so it was now or never. I got my c-stand out, plugged in my pack and opened my umbrella. Everybody was like woah what’s that! Wishing a few minutes the lights were on and set for the most beautiful bride to be to step in. @bellemcdonnell had the looks and I had the light. It was a show-stopper!
Behold ~ my 7ft silver umbrella on my trusty, Norman strobes from around the 90s.
Look out for more of this style of event photography to come in the future! :)

The last few shots from the Violet at Home series. This was all about exploring film and it’s quirks. I had so much fun shooting this and cannot wait to do more in this new to me medium! 💕
Thanks to @the_jacqpot for always trusting me with these precious memories! #film #120mm #filmshoot #athome #ad #motherhood
Preview of Violet at home // Portra 800 // Hasselblad H6d film
My first film shoot! Came with one camera, 3 rolls of film and a prayer! It was so fun and the results well, they are gorgeous.
Who wants a film shoot?
First roll of 120 mm film ✅
HP5 400 🎞️
H6d 50mm II w/ HM16-32 film back 📷
I finally got my hands on a film back for my hasselblad and I’m in love. These were shot around Chelsea and of co-workers. What do you think?
🚨📢Exciting news! Now offering portraits on medium format film! 🎞️
This session was a quick 4 frames with Portra 400 on 120 film from the @hasselblad
I have two exciting film options to offer.
35mm x Pentax K1000 & 120mm x Hasselblad H6
The H6 is rather exciting. The camera is normal my digital medium format, however the system is modular and can be converted by switching the digital back to film. This gives us some modern comforts such as pinpoint accuracy of @hasselblad True Focus technology coupled with some fabulous lenses that when mixed with film give a classic look on 16 frames per roll. 🎞️
The k1000 is a simple, classic 35mm look and full manual for a real retro vibe. 36 frames per roll 🎞️
Each one has its perks & quirks, but both are so fun!
Posting more this week!
