Whenever there’s an uncomfortable situation that I can put myself in, I try my best to put myself there. It builds strength and adaptability.
Usually I would not do a shoot like this because it’s just too grudgy low key art with almost no production budget at all. I mean, I only used one Profoto Magnum reflector throughout the entire project.
But I liked it, it allowed me to hang out with people who I normally wouldn’t have a chance to be with. Beatnik artists, grudgy artist that have completely different taste than I, but we all came together and made it work because creating art unites. And once we’ve settled on a vision, nothing else matters. We put aside our differences in taste and culture, to create and that’s a wonderful thing because we stop judging each other.
