Visiting Brooklyn Botanic Garden with Anu

I met with Anu, an artist and model, this past weekend for a casual photoshoot at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Sakura season is always a good time to visit, although we might have to wait another week for the blossoms to fully bloom.

Bushwick Natives at the 83rd Precinct

A police precinct is an interesting place for a street art project. Is it a trap? Should we be suspicious? Anyway, Brooklyn’s 83rd Precinct teamed up with Spread Art NYC to produce a community wall featuring portraits of famous Bushwick natives. Four artists have contributed. Maybe we’ll see more in the future.

Yok and Sheryo: Shadows

Yok and Sheryo are a Brooklyn-based street art duo from Australia and Singapore, respectively. They are known for traveling the world and creating characters that range from strange, grotesque, to sometimes weirdly cute. Shadows is a new mixed media show at Masters Projects featuring sculptures and paintings. The work is all in black and white, which gives these photos an almost monochrome look.

Symmetry Inside The Brooklyn Army Terminal

The Brooklyn Army Terminal is a former military base turned office/warehouse complex located on the Sunset Park waterfront. Unopened to the general public, I was able to take a look inside during Open House New York weekend. The first thing I noticed while shooting is how symmetrical everything is. Designed by Cass Gilbert, the architecture presents an opportunity for a lot of cool shots.
