So proud that my image of the wonderful @brenna___pal was SELECTED to be in the print version of @american_photography_winners 42. Can’t wait to get my hands on another copy of this wonderful series of photo books! Always humbled to be in company as good as these books contain.
Had an absolute blast in the studio with engineer [[jry.io]] who would prefer to keep his internet-personhood links at least nominally air-gapped. A massive talent and the sweetest guy.
Some people aren’t feeling any economic anxiety at all, which is interesting. Thanks for the call as ever, @wsj , and to @aretskyspatroon and @ellie.forthegirls for the warm welcome.
Selects and outtakes from a super fun shoot for @wsj detailing a new office building developed by @realgarybarnett going up in midtown. Thanks so much to @daisy_korpics for the call and @yuvsees for the assist!
And now for something completely different: a commercial spot I directed for @littlespoon 's launch at @target . Had a lot of fun with this one. Thanks as ever to an amazing cast & crew:
Mom: @brookeishibashi
Harper: Katie C.
DP: @delving
1st AC: @tom.awender
Gaffer: @durlington_fickleberry
Key Grip: @levi_wxyz
Sound: Hyo Jin An
Script: Chloe Fein
Art Direction: @hallyewebb
and of course a huge shout out to the whole LS team who helped write (Chloe Fein), art direct (@hallyewebb ), and produce this (@carynwasser , @mimiconnelly , et al), Chenay Howell at Target, and anyone I somehow forgot. It was amazing to see this come together in the short morning we had on site and we couldn't have done it without such a great team.
Direction/Editing/Color: Me
New work! Selects and outtakes from @wsj ’s story about ballooning land leases on Billionaires’ (or as this building’s board president called it, Thousandaires’) Row. Thanks so much to @lauryn_ashlih for the call and to @yuvsees for the assist, and to all the great tenants who let us in to report on this.
Very excited to share new work I made with the always incredible actor, dancer, and mother @brenna___pal ! Such a fabulously open, heartfelt and passionate collaborator that makes shooting with her just so easy and fulfilling. Thanks as ever, Brenna!
