Vitriolic (2025) is my favorite project.

It began with a chance encounter

with designer Ilke Gunay a week prior

to the shoot. She had a dress, I had a camera,

we had a shared love for cyanotypes.

Everything else fell into place.

We processed the cyanotypes in

Ilke's shower and exposed them

under what Amsterdam generously

calls sunlight.

During the shoot, I discovered that

both the model and the secondary

photographer (shooting on film)

were both old friends I hadn't seen

in some time. Synergy is a word that

usually makes me shiver, but there truly

is no better one for what occured

that day.

The success of the work,

its exhibition by galleries

and publication in magazines,

is more than a testament to

our creative execution.

It rests on the shoulders

of true creative collaboration

and collective excitement.
