Marcus Samuelsson for Park & Bond

2011-08-26T15:23:00.000-04:00

I headed up to Harlem one morning last month to shoot celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson at his restaurant The Red Rooster for Park and Bond's "Man of Style" section. See the full interview here. I love his rumpled look! He was a great fellow to photo - very kind and gracious.

Sewing in a Straight Line: Book Trailers by Rarebit!

2011-07-19T01:18:00.002-04:00

The days have been flying by as Rarebit (my video production company) has been working night and day on - not one - but THREE book trailer/how-to videos for Brett Bara's first book "Sewing in a Straight Line". The book is beautiful, and I even found myself saying "I could make that too!", which I think is exactly what Brett was going for. I am so excited for her - and for Rarebit! Brett

2011-06-27T15:37:00.001-04:00

Crafter extrordinair, Brett Bara has her first book, "Sewing in a Straight Line", coming out July 19! She worked with Kelly and I (aka Rarebit Productions) on a series of how-to videos to promote the launch. Brett started with the simple but brilliant idea that if you can sew straight you can make a lot of really awesome things - things that may look complex, but are really made all with

The Beauty of Things Left Behind

2011-06-07T03:05:00.000-04:00

Over Memorial Day I spent some time in Southampton, and one morning we went out to this estate sale on Gin Lane by the ocean. The house was modest by today's standards, but I imagine that back in the day it was quite elegant. There was a beautiful hazy ocean sunlight streaming in everywhere. Tattered antiques and lonely personal items made for some beautiful vignettes, this time captured

Raphael Saadiq for Gilt MANual

2011-06-02T11:46:00.000-04:00

Raphael Saadiq, NYC, May 2011 I teamed up with the folks at Gilt MANual again recently to make a portrait of musician Raphael Saadiq at Raines Law Room. Saadiq's new album is pretty great - it has a old school motown/garage sound that I would totally play on set.

Where have all the gentlemen gone?

2011-05-24T16:42:00.000-04:00

Robert E. Bryan at home, NYC, April 2011 The exquisite gentlemen of The Dandy Portraits have a new home at dandyportraits.blogspot. At the end of last year I gave them this dedicated venue. I also started a tumblr at dandyportraits.tumblr as a way to share images and refer back to the main blog. So now you can get lost in the rabbit hole that is tumblr! Oh, and you can also "like" the

The Brothers Haslegrave

2011-04-18T04:00:00.002-04:00

Oliver and Evan Haslegrave, Brooklyn, March 2011 A few weeks ago I visited the home of brothers Oliver and Evan Haslegrave of hOmE for The Scout magazine. Check out the full article and rest of the images here. The brothers were kind and down to earth, and left me with the impression of being very hard working and capable fellas. They are makers, which I respect. Extra points in my book

Artist's Studio

2011-03-25T18:52:00.002-04:00

These are from an prominent artist's studio I visited to use as a photo location for a fashion shoot. It was so colorful and charming, I couldn't help taking a few details for myself. And the kitty is crossed-eyed and has paint on her nose! So think of these as a mini spring infusion of color while nature sorts herself out. Come on 60 degrees!

I am excited to see the Sean Avery portraits I shot recently are live in conjunction withe the sale he is curating on Gilt Man. A NHL player and a fashion maven - pretty cool in my book. Great working with Sean and editor Tyler Thoreson!

A Brooklyn in Brooklyn

2011-02-28T17:42:00.001-05:00

Yesterday I had the fantastic pleasure of photographing Sean Crowley, neckwear designer, and Meredith Modzelewski at their home in Brooklyn. We made lots of pictures for my personal book project, The Dandy Portraits. Watch for the full post coming soon! In the meantime, here is a tasty tidbit...Mr. Crowley expertly mixed up these exquisite little Brooklyn cocktails, which tasted as good as

Out of the Past

2011-02-24T21:06:00.000-05:00

Michael Arenella, Brooklyn, circa 2001 This quirky portrait of band leader Michael Arenella is from way back in the day... We shot at the Dabora Gallery in Greenpoint, and it was the first time, I think, I ever met Michael. At the time he was collaborating with Ami, and they had a regular gig at Black Betty playing vintage style moody jazz classics. He has, of course, gone on to be very

The Dream, Wardrobe Edition

2011-02-19T18:01:00.000-05:00

Ok, The Dream, besides world peace & harmony of course, is to have a whole bespoke wardrobe - made by a designer that I could collaborate with closely. My evening attire just might look something like these amazing Ralph Lauren "tuxedos" above (Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 as seen in NYT). I'm not a pantsuit type of girl, but I think my designer could whip up a Rose version fairly easily! The

Blue Faced Boy

Kelly at The Palace Bar, Greenpoint, Feb 11, 2011 It looks so sad and lonely, but really we had just had a big night filled with with loads of friends and fried chicken. But the blue faced light gets me.
