Dans le Dressing de Janice Alida

I shot model Janice Alida's wardrobe in her Financial District apartment for Vogue Paris the other week.  Check out the story HERE

Uniforms

I shot Milk Made Fashion Week this past September for BFA.  Was thrilled to work in an environment with so many young, talented photographers.  Among them was Andrew Boyle, who became obsessed with documenting my ridiculous outfits I wore during FW.  I love these so much, they inspired me to blog again (after months!). So enjoy:

Advanced Style

A very special event for me to shoot -- Ari Seth Cohen's Advanced Style book launch at New Museum.  More shots here. 

Bad Party Photos

It's such a strange thing -- being an event photographer AND an awkward misanthrope.  But ever since I've started shooting parties I've realized that I'm not so unsociable.  I LOVE people.  I LOVE when people have fun, and when they dress up, and when they get drunk and dance.  I started shooting for a new photo agency that sends me to really bad events.  But I think I like shooting bad events more than shooting events with cool downtown people only because they don't act so jaded around a camera, and in fact, these people are really keen on really savoring the spotlight and doing silly, funny things.  I'm now using this opportunity to start a new series about Bad Party Photos where the DJ plays Cobra Starship and white girls wear Intermix bandage dresses and dudes hover uncomfortably close to partners' sticky lips.  Check some out my golden collection so far.

Winter Whereabouts

Ever since I was ridiculed by my peers for still having a Blogspot rather than a Tumblr, I've been noticeably less active and feeling very insecure. But you know, I just have to accept that I will never be able to keep up with this technological/hedonistic treadmill and will forever be five steps behind so I am back to embracing my blogspot blog. It's been awhile since I last updated, but quite a lot has happened this winter. I don't feel too keen to go into detail but I'll share some photos from NYFW, San Francisco travels, the SOBE Food and Wine Festival (Michael Chiarello below), and my latest Refinery29 Subway Hottie story (the most viewed story of March w/ 1.5 million views!). Enjoy.
