Nov 14th, 2020. An excursion back to Walkway Over the Hudson yielded one of my most fulfilling artistic experiences. This shoot with Alexis Taylor a NY based model was a photoshoot that has me revisit the raw images over and over and continue to pull “keepers”. Alexis and I were able to use the landscape of the walkway as not only as background but as a prop to enhance our images. Take notice to how we used the simple landscape to our advantage.
The first image is inspired by The Son of Man, 1946 by Rene Magritte.
