I met photographer, Audrey Stein, a few weeks ago at a party at Suzi Click’s home. Check out her website filled with stunning photos from her travels HERE.
On the Street
I never know what kind of photograph I am going to get when I’m shooting on the street. So much is dependent on the moment, my subject’s mood, how I approach them, and how much they trust me. I have to establish a level of comfort within the first few seconds of asking someone to take their picture. When I first approached the woman above she was very shy, but as soon as we started to speak I could see her start to open up. I commented on her gloves and told her that I had always loved looking through my grandmother’s drawers and seeing her wonderful pairs lined up in a row. I explained a little bit about my project and she said that she would be happy to pose for a photo. Our entire interaction lasted under five minutes, but I really feel like I captured the spirit of this incredibly gracious and elegant woman.
Valerie Von Sobel
To describe the myriad dazzling facets of Valerie Von Sobel in just a few short words would be incredibly unjust. She is not only a woman with a radiant spirit, but also an artist, interior designer, style icon, and actress. She is a true testament to the power of resilience. After enduring the loss of her son, mother and husband within the same year she has dedicated herself to a life full of compassion and artistic expression. Check out the wonderful work that she does with her foundation HERE and more about her art HERE.
