TGIF

Natalia Chabanenko, ph: Jonathan Leder

Yesterday I styled a shoot with photographer Jonathan Leder and model Natalia Chabanenko in Prospect Park. Natalia is a real beauty. She is totally comfortable in front of the camera, and in nature. We all love animals -we saw chipmunks, squirrels, geese, ducks & robins in the park. Jonathan shoots using 35 mm film & polaroids taken with a vintage Polaroid camera. I admire Jonathan for sticking to film - it has a sincere quality that can not be manipulated. He is staunchly commited to aesthetic excellence & realness - he types the labels for his print boxes on a vintage typewriter, he does not have cable TV & maintains an extensive library of 1970's French Vogue's.
