Stripmall Architecture

Stripmall Architecture came to my new studio space for a shoot at the end of April. The photos have been online for a few weeks, but life got full of things. Now I’m finally writing about it.

We did some simple photos against a white backdrop, with the idea that the white areas can be filled with drawings. For the rest of the photos, we used a projector as the light source. We used a drawing by Jody Pham (she did the cover of their new album) and a pattern of dots. It also did great things for silhouettes and backlighting. I’m thoroughly convinced that a projector needs to be part of the permanent photo studio setup.

Looking through the photographs at the end of this, I see accidental beautiful things that can feed future projects. I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such wonderful collaborators.

the tendency of transit systems to become completely disfunctional on weekends is disrespectful to humans that live outside of their jobs.
