A Great Day in Ñiu Yor 🗽 Some time ago 8 photographers began documenting Ñiu Yor’s community. The goal? To amplify the voices, achievements and collective presence of Latine and Indigenous artists, leaders, and change-makers in New York City. A deliberate effort to challenge systemic invisibility and reclaim narrative ownership. 100+ participants were documented and interviewed in a 2 part photo series The first image is a studio portrait where participants were invited to bring or embody something personally significant: an object, a garment or an intentional way of dressing tied to their heritage. The second image is an environmental portrait taken in a location chosen by the participant across New York City such as spaces of comfort and emotional connection like their home, a park, favorite corner of the city. For the community, by the community!

‘Chrysalis’ directed by @annikawhite and shot by @carlmichaelknight Hey friends, Carl here speaking to our lighting approach for the piece. As always, @matriarentals had us covered for all our EQ needs. Off the bat, we knew we wanted to create this futuristic “neon” drenched dreamscape. I was excited to push the abilities of the new @aputure.lighting BLAIR chip. We utilized a good bit of the fleet from the 1000c, 400x, 80c. One thing I was itching to try was off-balancing the outside world to lean super blue. So we cranked our 1000c to the low end of 1,800k and balanced our camera to 2K. Our gaffer, @jaeseey is always one step ahead and had these beautiful hues dialed in and balanced. The 80c & MC pro became our go-to units for our more run and gun moments, keeping us light on our feet in midtown Manhattan and adding washes of green to the hallways & elevator. I’m here thinking, how are we going to rig these units in a public elevator? @space_magic walks in and effortlessly sticks them to the walls as they’re magnetic…. Duh. Damn I really don’t miss rigging kino-flos for these types of setups. This all sounds like an aputure ad… it’s not, sadly, but I’ll take some free gear y’all? But, in all honesty, as someone with a closet full of gel rolls, it’s nice to see some rich, accurate color and powerful output from these units. Hope you all enjoy the piece 🌃 Directed by @annikawhite Styled by @yuri.nosho Creative Direction by @annikawhite & @carlmichaelknight Supported by @99canal.nyc & @matriarentals Starring @sipastak124 as Alaska @fl0ssi as Motorcycle Girl Production Company: @clamstudios Produced by @annikawhite & @carlmichaelknight Production Assistant: @augustaugstaugust Executive Producer: @matriarentals Director of Photography: @carlmichaelknight AC: @daavidmejiaa Gaffer: @jaeseey Key Grip: @space_magic Hair: @um_takayuki Makeup: @rio_kinoshita_01 Nail Artist: @mai._sucre Production Designer: @avviplz Production Design Assistant: @sophsscar Stylist Assistant: @sipastak124 Clothing Provided by @retail_pharmacy Edit & Color by @annikawhite & @carlmichaelknight VFX by @carlmichaelknight Original Music & Sound Design by @dominic.walther.b
