from my window (2021)
Shot on 35mm, on Kodak Portra 400, in Manhattan, New York. The idea for this image was initially conceived when I moved into my first apartment in New York City. My window overlooked a bright pool, bound by its industrial ties, still vibrant. For months, I would look towards this building every day, hoping for the perfect photograph to present itself. I moved into my new home in March and shot this image in September, one of my favorite investments.
