Postmodern Lightbox


Postmodern Lightbox is a cinematic portrait series where my two loves of music and photography collide. Shot in the moody, sculpted light of 1940s Hollywood, each portrait is staged like a song — a tribute to the artists who bring the music to life. Billie Holiday meets Vanity Fair.
