For Throwback Thursday, I found this photo yesterday while I was cleaning up. I photographed this portrait that made it to the cover of Seattle Weekly about 20 years ago. The art director asked me to create a fashion image that embodied elegance but was still hip. At that time "hip" was a bit ugly. I tried to straddle my vision with common culture. Luckily my model was intuitive about the assignment. But what resonates with me always is photography that is timeless. I always want the viewer to NOT attach the image to a certain decade. I pushed the art director on the black and white version. Luckily she agreed. Good memories. #TBT #throwbackthursday #fashion #photography
