In an era of covid, meeting anyone new has sort of felt like a stale mate. New faces have certainly been introduced through a screen whereas the introductory phrase is no longer “Hello, it’s nice to meet you” but rather “Is this thing working? Can you hear me okay?”
That made this shoot extra special. This virtual senior came to life safely in my studio and in front of my camera and I still can feel that energy nearly one month later. Joe is everything I wish I could have been as a senior and everything I hope my son is when he becomes one: full of life, full of light, full of hope, confidence and creativity — and authentically, genuinely kind and wonderful. To that I say: yes, yes.
Just a few snapshots of our time collaborating together.
