This picture of master editor Maury Loeb was shot during an edit. It is taken on the rooftop deck of PS. 260, the edit house in NY. Maury has cut a bunch of my projects, one of which (Crash) resulted in an AICE award for Maury for best VFX Editing.
D. Foy wrote an essay for my photography book Laundromat. This shot is taken in my studio in Brooklyn. It was really a session for his then girlfriend, soon to be wife, dancer Jeanine Durning, but he snuck in. Very contemplative and relaxed portrait. His first novel “Made To Break” will be out on Two Dollar Radio early 2014.
This shot is an impromptu shot that became part of the inspiration for the series Thoughtful. I was shooting a campaign in South Africa and Topher was a producer at Grey, which I was working for. We had just had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant in the wine country close to Cape Town. After lunch we wandered out into these cricket grounds which turned out to be the perfect back drop for Topher’s portrait. Thanks to Bev and Joel of Gatehouse Commercials for a wonderful meal.
I shot this picture of Lay Low (Lovísa) after a gig at a small coffee shop in the East Village. This is shot in the middle of traffic on Park Avenue South by Union Square on a hot summer night. I later did a music video to one of her songs. She’s a wonderful artist and collaborator.
Nuutti is a friend that lives in New York City. As the name suggests he’s from Finland and he’s a rock star. This portrait was shot impromptu near his laundromat in the East Village. I was hanging out with him and a mutual friend doing laundry one day and we got this great shot of him. Photogenic guy.
On one of David’s visits to my studio in Brooklyn we snapped this picture. David is one of my oldest collaborators and friends in the film business. We directed a music video for Icelandic band Vinyl in 2002. I had just gotten a new Leica 50mm for my 5D and was excited to try it. Beautiful portrait of a beautiful man.
I went to JZ’s apartment in Manhattan’s East Village to get this shot. His place was the greatest, graffiti and tags, 100s of decks and shoes piled up. He’s a true skater and his mission is to skate the most impossible places around the world. He also has a skate / clothing line called Natural Koncept.

Krummi came to a session with me in Spessi’s studio “Frystihúsið” in Kópavogur, Iceland.
The shoot was a band photograph for his band Mínus. I shot all members of the band individually and composited a few band photos from that. This individual portrait of Krummi is very special to me. His inner silence juxtaposed with his raised and tense hands says so much about him. He is a wonderful subject.
D. Foy still from an upcoming promo for his book Made to Break coming out on Two Dollar Radio in 2014.
