This summer, I had the pleasure of meeting artist @georgehorner and photographing him in his home. His cheeky posters, neon signs, and silly putty paintings will make you pause, think, and laugh at the same time. I had a delightful afternoon hearing all of George’s fascinating stories of being an artist and working in the art world during the 80s. His stories were so good that I’m hoping to see a memoir of his one day! Here, donning his “Fuck Hate” polo, he sits in his personal library, chock full of artist books, memories, and one of his sassy posters that I happened to take home with me. . . . . . #creativesportrait #artistportrait #georgehorner #portraitoftheday #artistathome #portraitphotographer #libraryporn #brooklynartist
When she’s not in her office/studio dreaming of new shoe creations, @alexisisabelofficial is working hard in Milan seeing that her shoe designs are made with the exactness she envisioned. She’s a @cfda Elaine Gold fellow who is dazzling the fashion world with her talent and expertise in shoe design. I’m excited to see where she goes! . . . . . #creativesportrait #portraitoftheday #alexisisabelshoes #fashionista #shoedesigner #designershoes #cfda #elainegold #elainegoldlaunchpad #fashiondesigner
Marc is one of the nicest people I’ve met while living here in NYC. Not only do I love his impeccable style and signature top hat, but I really love his positive energy and outlook on the world. His positivity is infectious, and sometimes popping into his shop @flamekeepershatclub and having a 5 minute conversation with him is all I need to feel better about my day. It’s people like Marc that you choose to surround yourself with, because truly good people like him are rare to find. . . . . . #flamekeepershatclub #artistportrait #creativesportrait #portraitoftheday #tophat #impeccablestyle #milliner #tophatfashion #dandystyle #welldressedgentleman #brownstone #harlemstyle #iloveharlem #portraitphotgrapher
I came across this image on my hard drive recently and I wanted to share it because @mettamagnet is a truly badass woman and awesome friend who has always believed in me and the work that I do. That means the world to me. She is also someone I really admire because she is a brilliant writer (and brilliant in general), wickedly intelligent, and an amazing champion for social justice. There are people you meet in life who really want to help you and see you succeed, and they try to help you make that happen. Rachael has always been in my corner, cheering me on. I am forever thankful for her friendship 🙏🏽 . . . . . #portraitoftheday #fromthearchive #photolibrary #portraitphotographer #naturallightportrait #socialjusticechampion
I love meeting people and artists, and seeing where they find inspiration and create beautiful work. At the end of a long work day, @afshaanrahman finds solace through the dazzling and gorgeous jewelry she creates in her studio. She finds inspiration through the memories and the meaningful objects from friends and family with which she surrounds herself. Her pieces are made from love and positive energy. I really enjoyed meeting Afshaan and learning about what makes her happy and where she finds her inspiration. Finding balance between a full-time job and her passion is an art form in itself. Thank you for sharing your studio with me, Afshaan. You are a beautiful person, both inside and out. . . . . . #creatives #creativesportrait #artist #artistportrait #studioportrait #jewelrydesigner #afshaanrahman #taxidermy #ambermaykut #portraitphotographer #portraitoftheday
From the archives, I met Terry who worked at Shakespeare & Company in Paris. I started chatting with him about the bookstore and the tourists that come in everyday; turned out he was a really nice guy! I loved everything about him from his hat to his beard—he fit so perfectly in the bookstore— so I asked if I could photograph him. We’ve been back to Shakespeare & Company twice since this meeting, but I didn’t see Terry either of those times. . . . . . #shakespeareandcompany #bookstoreportrait #parisbookstore #environmentalportrait #travelportrait #beardstyle #portraitphotographer #portraitoftheday
You never know who you’ll meet standing in line. I am thankful to have met @deborah_nyc while standing in line at the Met. A shared love of Babar brought us and @lumpires together, and from that point on we couldn’t stop talking. Forever young at heart, Deborah’s sophisticated and fun sense of style and interior design is always on point. Her apartment is a treat for the eyes that makes you feel welcome and happy, and she has a kindred spirit that warms my heart ❤️ . . . . . #thankfulforfriends #happythanksgiving2018 #creatives #creativesportrait #portraitoftheday #babarbabe #babar #interiordesignerportrait #chicstyle #nycapartmentstyle
Sometimes you have to break out of your comfort zone and introduce yourself to people. I’m thankful I did that, because I wouldn’t have met @nickbaconny ! Since moving to New York, Nick has become one of my dearest friends, and he happens to rock a bowler hat and monocle 🧐 . . . . . #britishgentleman #monocle #bowlerhat #moustacheandmonocle #creatives #creativesportrait #portraitoftheday
Happy Thanksgiving Week! 🦃 This past year introduced me to some remarkable people. I met @ambermaykut earlier this year and she invited me to her home and studio where I was in complete awe of her artistry. A lovely and extremely kind person, I am thankful to have met Amber and for her kindness in letting me photograph her. Thank you, @ambermaykut 😊 . . . . . #thankfulforyou #taxidermy #jackalope #creatives #artistportrait #artiststudioportraits #happythanksgiving2018 #givingthanks #portraitoftheday #brooklyntaxidermy
He’s kind of a big deal to me ❤️ . . . . . #salvageone #husband #rusticvintage #antiquewarehouse
I would get married all over again at @salvageone if you asked me to @jonathanpsarmiento . Such a gorgeous venue that is always changing. They were prepping for a wedding that day and it brought back all the fuzzy feels of our wedding day ❤️ . . . . . #salvageone #salvageonewedding #chicagoweddingvenue #rusticvintage #artifacts #antiquefurniture #antiquewarehouse #antiquewarehousewedding #weddingdayprep

Happy Filipino American History Month! Renee Barabad Floresca is a Filipina actor, educator, and writer who celebrates her culture and heritage through her artistry and individuality. She wears a traditional malong, a staple of her wardrobe, which is a garment that can be worn many different ways in Filipino tribes. She has a unique and powerful voice that enlightens and awakens, and is a badass woman all around. She is a force to be reckoned with, and I’m proud to call her family. A BIG thank you @the.wing for being so amazing and accommodating! . . . . . #reneerises #filipinoamericanhistorymonth #filipina #filipinaartist #filipinaportrait #malong #thewingdumbo #thewing #strongwoman #strongwomanportrait #fiercewoman #portraitphotographer #sheilabarabad
