La Belle Epoque
Using photographs from my body of work as a fashion portrait photographer in the 80’s in New York City, this is one of a new series created by mixing media. This image is included in the virtual exhibition at The Mystic Museum of Art from January 29 through March 20, 2021.

Factory Girl
Inspired by the artists and social climate of the day: Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the gritty streets of NYC of the 80’s, Factory Girl is one from a collection of painted photos.

Clashing Plaids
The model provided clothes from his own eclectic wardrobe for this session outdoors.

In the Studio

Ann
I did not know that the model was transgender when I photographed her. I only knew I would have loved to have skin so flawless that was set off by her midnight black hair and black gown.

Echo of an Icon
Upon arrival to my studio with no makeup dressed in a leather jacket and pants, the model was transformed with hair, makeup, and wardrobe to resemble an edgy Marilyn Monroe for the 80’s.

Strike A Pose

Tracing Lineage
The model loved these African inspired hand painted earrings and bracelets with gold and silver leaf. They complemented her natural beauty perfectly.

Matthew Barney
Barney, who was a student at Yale at the time of this photo and headed to medical school, would take a different path to become the well-known artist and filmmaker that he is today.

Walter (1)
Walter dropped and did 50 push-ups before the shutter clicked on this image that was included in an auction of 19th and 20th Century Photographs at Philip’s Auction House in NYC on October 27, 1987.

Another shot after the 50 pushups with a less contrasty film than Walter (1).

George
Portrait of my husband after a hard day’s work building the studio as I tested the tungsten lights.

All Dressed Up
The editors wanted to use my son to enliven for a spread called “Novel Classics” with two high fashion models. This is an out take.

Ann Marie
Called “subtly erotic” in the Yale Daily News, this is how the image was described in a review of an exhibition at the Erector Square Gallery in New Haven in 1987.

Smoking
I spent the day photographing this colleague of mine catching up on fellow models and artists, stories about the business, and her expected role in a coming movie.
On the Street

White Collar
The beauty of those asleep in doorways, sidewalks or stairs rivaled my fashion portraits with their own brand of beauty.

Silver Buckled
Styling fashion portraits is fun. The silk velvet top was from a vintage clothing store a few blocks east of Patricia Field (of Sex and the City fame) where I found this skirt with the seven silver buckles.

Reflecting Coco
I love the pearls and gold chains that Chanel used to accessorize a simple black dress. This one mirrors Coco’s personal style perfectly.

A cream bikini and the model’s arm shadowing her eyes accentuates the curves of a muscular femininity.
