New Inc!

About 2 months ago I moved in to a new shared workspace (at least part-time) called New Inc. It's a new Incubator conceived by the New Museum that brings people together from the Art, Design and Technology world. Needless to say it's a really facinating mix of creative minds all sharing an entire white walled (for now) floor next to the Museum.

My main focus will be to continue developing a new body of work after Suburbia Gone Wild and I think this is a great place to explore new ideas, technologies and concepts.  

It's here!

Summer in America

Summer is officially over, at least here in the US. During the last three months I had the opportunity to visit a couple of new places while on the road. I usually try to stay an extra day or two when I'm out on assignments in order to discover the area in my own pace.

This Summer I stopped at Willie's Fish Pond in Virginia (which I first thought was a sea food restaurant). I met a homeless man who perform a flawless dance routine to Chic's Le Freak at a bus stop in Detroit (he was not waiting for the bus) and shot a tremendous amount of images of skyscrapers in Lower Manhattan (don't know why, I just love it). Oh and I went Upstate as well.... but more on that next time.

Cape Town in Italian Amica Magazine

My Italian is a bit rusty but I really like the layout of this story which included images I shot in Cape Town. 

Bespoke Tailor Peter Frew's studio in Brooklyn where he talks about pressure and $4000 suits.

This video is part of a ongoing personal project about doers and makers and how they deal with failure, pressure and frustration. I read about Bespoke tailor Peter Frew two years ago in this article and found his honesty and dedication very engaging. Last year I reached out to Peter and asked him to be part of the series and he said yes immediately. So without further ado:
