Paper & Posture Mag // NYC Pride Collaboration

Group-3_Hana-Edem-Carmen-and-Sky-copy.jpg

There's quite possibly nothing more refreshing than seeing two different publications come together to create something to celebrate a common bond. We had our friends at Paper and Posture Magazine join forces in our Brooklyn studio rental space to produce a piece just in time for NYC Pride focusing on the gender-fluid future. In this photo series, they embrace the wide gender spectrum by highlighting 18 creative individuals with an interview for each to share their unique stories and the mark they continue to leave on the community. 

This hyper-colorful shoot explored these personalities with minimal lighting and the use of mostly found objects that the crew repurposed to use for their amazing set. There was definitely a fine line between retro and futuristic elements used to create the overall aesthetic on our Soundstage. The layering of this DIY set with the over the top costume design really made this project pop in a rather exciting way! Check out the full story here.
