Film
Shooting behind the scenes on film sets has been a steady way for me to make new images. I started out by working on a few music videos; shooting for directors, Marysia Makowska, Powered By Wind, and my friend Abbie Jones. When I moved to New York in 2022, I met one of my favorite directors, Alex Ross Perry, at a screening of The Color Wheel (2011) at The Roxy, and I started shooting on his sets soon after. Two of the productions were music videos for Soccer Mommy and Bully, bands that I know from Nashville. On-set photography is stimulating, often poetic in the way the scenes are setup by the production equipment. There’s a creative freedom that comes with this type of photography. Everything is already lit, and no one is expected to pose, so I feel free to capture whatever I want.
