This is the Rebellion against overproduced images often in the digital world. These are images made from my film cameras. Each image I shot myself. The subjects are often friends, and acquaintances in their world.
Audrey Hepburn all over again.
I wanted to sell the Hasselblad. But each time I try to sell it, I take one last celebratory roll of film, and the pictures come out like this.
Again this is Maggie(in another post as the Time Traveling model)and she really is spectacular in the Grace Kelly/Ingrid Bergman kind of way.
Sometimes there are people that float over the clunkiness that we know is life. And we’ve come to embody that persona in older moviestars, and Maggie here is an heir to that aura. She has a real classic look to her that is accentuated by her savvy and intellect. Where else can you find a classic look that isn’t hidden due to modern day punk hair styles, Kardashianik implants, and clothing that screams 2011!?
She is rare. Her being, her classic J.Crew look, her diction, eye contact through her glasses, even the way she speaks and addresses someone all exudes class and the right upbringing. She is a character of all those books I read in lit classes, the hybrid characters in the class struggle, the ones that were affluent, but could still hang with a regular Joe(me). Rock Hudson in Giant, Grace Kelly in Rear Window, and Audrey Hepburn in everything else.
And I’m honored I got to shoot her with my camera a second time. I’m looking forward to the stuff we might work on in tandem in the near future as well.
