Stephee is a musician here in New Yok. We worked together before back in 2023 for my Guilded Glamour project and she was incredible. Now, that I am working on Metropolitans (and have been for quite some time) I was excited to have another session with Stephee. As I continue my deep dive into photographing, not just faces, but also the bodies of my subjects, I find newer ways to highlight the amazing features of the people I work with. I find curves, lines, and shapes that please the eye. I work my camera in new angles and use light to play with shadows. There’s a certain amount of freedom I feel when I get to work like this. Often I find myself losing track of time and needing to end abruptly because of other obligations. I hope you enjoy these portraits as much as Stephee and I enjoyed making them.
