Photographed 9.2023 – NYC

I’ve been photographing Olivia since she was 11 months old. She’s a young woman now, finding her first grown-up foothold in NYC. This September we met on the Lower East Side, looking for UnHeadshot worthy backdrops. A makeshift white sunshade over a bodega’s fruit display. Graffiti-laden walls. The bright red doorway of an apartment. Passersby adding hints of a city in motion. Olivia is an actor, singer and dancer, and she moved gracefully through the gritty neighborhood, restyling her hair as we walked, changing outfits in the tiny bathroom of a restaurant. I’ve never not had fun photographing Olivia. I think you can see that in the mages.
