Icarus Also Flew

Elan - the Polaroids

 
  
 

MacKenzie - the Polaroids

The first five images are unusually formal for me, but I have to admit it's rather satisfying to flirt with a different tradition and walk away with some images I'm proud of.
A big thanks to Mackenzie for her fantastic work, braving the long hike, the cold, and the mysterious tall dark sand creatures. These images also wouldn't exist but for Jeff Youngren's generous assistance and fantastic local knowledge. (He can also hold more drying Polaroids in one hand than anyone else I know).

more Mythologies

I can't say a lot about this series yet, except that its one of the most elusive and challenging projects I've worked on. The photos come like apparitions, always pulling me in drastically different directions than I planned on going.

Also, I should say that I'm very grateful for this model's collaboration. She is unassuming and yet in every shoot we've done together she delivers a deep and honest presence. She ultimately makes these photos what they are, and much more than I what I originally imagined.
