Beauty Shoot

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

A few months ago, I did makeup for a photo shoot with singer-songwriter Janine Bruno.


NEW YORK TIMES

Posted by STETSON CREATIVE

My work was featured last month in the New York Times home section featuring COLE & GARRETT SUPERHEROES. The premise of the shoot is creating a flip-book style video shooting the superheroes and villains in various conflicts shot in high-end interiors. The superheroes wear clothing made out of recycled leftovers of the historical last Bryant Park Fashion Week.
