Behind the Scenes on Film- Luxury Workshop Retreat Storytelling for Nicole Chapman

For the building, creating, and instructional images I shot 35mm b&w (HP5) on the Pentax K1000. For completed installs, wearables, and photoshoots I shot medium format (Kodak Gold 200) on the Rolleiflex 6001. These mediums tell the story of the luxury florist. Alway working in a team sharing a vision, engineering a flow, pivoting, and troubleshooting their processes and environment to create an ephemeral experience and image.

Nicole integrated these behind the scene images into her sites beautifully. The mix of gritty process and polished editorial shots layered with Nicole’s affinity for textures are evocative of her style, the high key dry desert place, and the mood of her luxury retreat workshop.

Airportraits with Mo Amer

in ,
 

It was an October Monday in the quiet Edmonton airport where I met Mo. It was a chanced meeting and, like foreordained companions, we passed through TSA, through the sad terminal architecture, through the heavy-handed duty free gift shop- as a pair.

Taking cues from time and place, we chose a corner where the light was right, a place to talk and share. In that place we were seen and we saw each other. The truth is that Mo blessed me by being seen and showing up like he did. Connection, kindness, consideration, and fantastic light is all around us. And Mo, he’s experienced, artistic, deep, and funny. It has been so amazing in the last year and a half to see and watch Mo’s light and depth shine in a world that needs his voice, needs his generosity and humor.
