An ode to reducing the creative shelf-life so God doesn’t give your ideas to Prince (IYKYK)

I took the studio into the car after asking what would make shooting easier. The answer was keeping a consistent background and travelling to my subjects instead of asking them to come to me. So I photographed 25 people in the back of a 1974 Mercedes. While it was effortless, it did require a mammoth spreadsheet (timed to the minute) that was updated live on the road. It was an exercise in keeping things simple and anti-perfection. The editing process showed me I’m still working on those two things but hey at least it was fun.

All of this was made possible thanks to @_l.u.c.y_p_ a triple threat, provider of the car, chauffeur service and BTS content.
