Back in November I drove down to Nashville to photograph @amylee for her upcoming @evanescenceofficial album, The Bitter Truth. I set up a makeshift studio in her dining room and knocked out a broad range of images for the album art, various magazine spreads, and images for streaming platforms…

Remote Shoot with Marissa Nadler
I’ve been a big fan of Marissa Nadler. since I first heard her music in 2006, and have been loving the opportunities to collaborate with her, even if it’s remotely. Though I’ve shot her through FaceTime a couple times before, this was the first time that I used the in-app camera. Before I would project the call onto my studio wall and shoot through different materials. The thing that concerned me was trying to figure out how to upsize the small files.
In my last post I explained how I’ve been photographing prints in water. After doing a few experiments I wondered if it might work to do a FaceTime shoot and as a workaround to the low camera resolution, make a small print and reshoot it in water. It worked better than I’d hoped. I was pleasantly surprised to see that an 8x10” print looked more than decent. By the time I added water ripples to the mix, the shots looked amazing. I also had so many images that I liked, apart from the water shot, that I included a handful.
Ho99o9 Shot Via FaceTime for Flood Magazine
Back in April I reached out to my friends in Ho99o9 to do a shoot over FaceTime. I hooked the call up to my projector, aiming it at a trash bag, which gave the images a fantastic texture, while also warping their features. I also shot through rubber cement and honey to get a range of results…

Zoom Photo Shoot with Roarie Yum
I first met Roarie Yum three or four years ago at a shoot I was doing with a different model. The two of them had been on the road together, taking modeling gigs one city at a time, and while I was shooting with the other model Roarie hung out on my studio couch and caught up on her email. I wasn’t aware of her work at the time and when I later saw her incredible portfolio I kicked myself for not working with her when I had the chance.
Read MoreRemotraits Vol. 3
After a month of experimenting with these FaceTime/Zoom photo shoots (which I call Remotraits) I’ve really broadened the range of techniques and materials that I work with, resulting in a big variety of styles. Just in creating the images in the gallery below I worked with mylar, prismatic window film, rubber cement, honey, water, and trash bags. I love the painterly results I’m getting and can’t wait to do more.
