One thing I enjoy when creating with and for fellow creators is the opportunity to complement their craft with mine. The whole of what me make together isn’t necessarily greater than the sum of its parts (yet!) but the result is always delightful and we each walk away having learned something new. • Swipe through for a rare BTS look at the first collaboration between Buddah Desmond and I ➡️ • Stills and performances captured at @audiencestudios on the Canon R5C, colored in Davinci Resolve, then aged and cut on Final Cut Pro. Written poems were designed and compiled in @pixelmatorpro (cc: @applecreatorstudio )

I guess the best way I can describe this series is, the marked silence that occurs when a conductor raises their wand before launching into a beautiful symphony; or: portraits of a woman whos’ song has only begun: Athena. • Stills captured on 120 mm @Kodak Portra 400 via Mamiya RB67 and 35 mm Kentmere 400 + @Kodak UltraMax 400 film via Canon AV-1, then developed and scanned by thee @midwestfilmcompany .

Icons only — the 10.31 tradition continues with Micah in authentic @playboy + @lesbelles.co • Stills captured at audience studios on 120 mm @kodak Portra 400 via Mamiya RB67 and 35 mm Gold 200 via Canon AV-1. Film was then developed and scanned by thee @midwestfilmco . This was my first time using a new medium format lens (127 mm) and a pearlescent filter for that classic look. Together with a spotlight, lantern and reflectors, we achieved a dreamy set of timeless images. • (flip the cover for a surprise)

• If you replace DC, piece by piece, is it still DC? These are the experiments with Rebecca that became the foundation for ‘Ruminations on the Ship of Theseus I’ (now on view at @dupontunderground ). This was my first time featuring a motion portrait in a show and it looks incredible at scale. • All digital stills and motion portraits were captured on the Canon R5C, then graded in Lightroom and Davinci resolve respectively. The ‘Ruminations’ portrait was keyed and cut to its final sequence in Final Cut Pro. • Film stills were captured on 120 mm @kodak Portra 800 via Mamiya RB67 then developed and scanned by thee @midwestfilmcompany . 8mm footage was captured on @kodak_shootfilm Vision 3 500 T via the Braun Nizo S40, then developed and scanned by @colorlabmd .
