Todays pic is a BW shot on the 8 x 10 field camera Todays pic is a BW shot on the 8 x 10 field camera. I used to shoot solely on this camera for about a decade. The negatives are literally 8 x 10 in / 20 x 25 cm. This image was part of a series commissioned for a group show called Parcours 23. I cannot thank PINN UP Studio and @arnaudpyvka enough for the opportunity, the experience and having the confidence in me and my work to participate at such a young age. This experience shaped and formed me into the artist that I am today and I am forever grateful. Merci!✨ (ps. Instagram will not let me write the word ‘PINN Up’ properly, Or tag the studio properly in this text!)
By popular demand I’ve added a last minute Maste By popular demand I’ve added a last minute Masterclass Jan 7-8 2023. -10% off cyber Monday only 🙂 code CYBER10 Location @circadianranch in #pioneertown CA Check the link in my bio for more info. We had such an amazing class last month and it’s been so rewarding to share my knowledge with you all. I’ve been collecting my experiences, technical knowledge and honing my craft for the last 30 years. I’ve had a camera up to my face nearly my whole life. Sign up and come out and ask me anything. Even if you are an experienced photographer and want to feel more confident with light, exposure or your subjects. Or if you have never picked up anything other than an iPhone. Here’s a lovely review from one of the class members : thank you John !🙏 ‘Some photo classes focus on how to use your camera. Mary’s class focused on how to use your creativity - or maybe that was just what I got out of it. The students ranged from one person using a film camera for the first time, to working photographers, but nobody left that class without gaining that nugget of knowledge they went out to the desert in search of. Mary was generous in every way, opening up her house and studio, and taking the time to explain not just how, but also why she has been able to create such a wide range of memorable images throughout her storied career. She answered every question and took the time to find out which artists we liked and what we loved about their work. Mary’s genuine interest in people is such a part of how she is able to capture their very spirit on film. You will leave this workshop a better photographer, but that is only part of it. You may also leave the class better at working with people in front of your camera, more open to taking risks, and more willing to push yourself to create and become a better artist. I highly recommend this workshop if you take your photography seriously and want to take it to the next level. I may not have gone to art school, but I did go to Circadian Ranch.’ -John T.
Nothing brings me more joy than being able to conc Nothing brings me more joy than being able to conceptualize from the inception of an idea. @raquelallegra and her brilliant visionary mind works in ways that are very rare to find. How honored am I? I watched, listened and felt my way into the creation of something that would realize the visual vision for her new pre spring 23 collection. Thank you Raquel for your trust and collaborative nature. Working with visionaries like yourself make me a better artist.

After erasing my whole feed from 2010 and starting After erasing my whole feed from 2010 and starting a new, I’m definitely feeling a lot more positive about how I’m using this platform. It’s given me a chance to see my body of work in a new light and to feel confident about where I’ve been and where I’m going creatively. I’m always striving to take a timeless photograph. This has always been my approach. I believe we are recording our moment in time and any photo that is to be called a ‘Photograph’ needs to evoke an emotion to the viewer. Even if that feeling is just about appreciating it’s beauty. Today I am inspired to post this image of one of the most beautiful women I’ve met and photographed- @lauraharrier for @theseptemberissues Wearing @whitakermalem Styling @mindy_le_brock Make up @danadelaney Hair @ladysoulfly Art direction @late_night_online_shopping Set @lizaminnelson Photo director @gillian_doyle

It’s been a whirlwind week teaching my intensive It’s been a whirlwind week teaching my intensive Masterclass on film photography last weekend. It was fantastic!! I asked the students to bring in 3 images of work that they loved so that we could talk about the technique behind those images but also why they were drawn to them. I was honored that one person wanted to discuss this image of @dakotajohnson This whole shoot was perfection which isn’t usually the case when shooting celebrities. There are the agents, publicists, entourages, and you’re usually only given a very short amount of time to execute what you hope to be a masterpiece. Over the years I’ve become well known for being very fast, creating a wonderful shoot environment, and a beautiful result in a very short time. Which is an art within itself. I think 9 times out of 10 my celebrity subjects have told me - ‘Wow, that was so fast and painless. You’re very good and you do beautiful work.‘ I’ve heard this more times than I can count and it means the world to me. I often wonder who is making it so painlful for these people to be photographed and why?! I strive for my subjects to have a memorable experience and to feel proud when they see themselves in the final image. This was shot on my digital camera with 2 lights and the set was wrapped in black duveteen

I woke up feeling like dedicating this day to Soni I woke up feeling like dedicating this day to Sonia Rykiel. I had the pleasure of photographing her in her home in Paris, a few years before she passed. We climbed 6 or 7 flights up (I can’t remember) into a world of wonder. See slide 2 where she is sitting amongst all the iconic portraits that had been made of her throughout her lifetime. I aspire to be as cool as she was when I’m that age! These are screenshots from 4 x 5 contact sheets. Thanks @lauren_michael_goodman for the chance to photograph a fashion icon. ✨ @soniarykiel

Good Morning from the hi desert of Southern Califo Good Morning from the hi desert of Southern California. Todays post is from a series I shot about sustainability for my magazine @theseptemberissues Model @jamieraehelms wears #demonsuits by Brooklyn based artist #ChloePaisley —- ‘These are a meditation, a ritual, a strategy for surviving the sometimes oppressive urban environment in which I live. Collecting my materials is a mode of engagement with the city streets—visiting and walking in them, caring for them, cleaning them, observing them. Making the suits is absurdly labor-intensive given the claims on my time, and it’s strange even to me that I turn to this work with the exhausted, fractured scraps of my attention left over at day’s end. But there’s something in the gestural dance of making the suits that satisfies. The creation of the suits is deeply feminine, women’s work—the cutting of the straw ends into the bowl in my lap like the snap of peas or beans; the muscular feminine labor of cleaning the bottle caps, crouched in my bathtub, laying them out to dry; pressing and folding the plastic bags into neat stacks, pinning and stitching the pieces together. Making these pieces taps into the body’s memory of repetitive domestic chores, and even of the exhaustion that accompanies labor that is often done after hours. The demon suits engage with ancient traditions of masquerade. They also play with and manipulate the way the body, often a female body, can find itself an object of a gaze in an urban space: they invite and rebuff looking, while the body they present to view is compelling, unfamiliar, sharp, a little dangerous. ‘. - Chloe Paisley Chloe Paisley is a Brooklyn-based artist. She works professionally as a theatrical costume craftsperson, building hats, masks, and wearable sculptures for Broadway, ballet, television, and arena shows. She spends a ridiculous amount of her time collecting and categorizing other people’s garbage. Thank you Chloe, for sharing your work with us!
In looking back and reflecting on my work, I reali In looking back and reflecting on my work, I realized that I’ve been shooting double exposures since 1987. The first slide was by way of a camera malfunction on my Pentax 67 - shot in 2019. I was shooting and felt the film slipping as I was advancing the winder. I covered myself in digital just to be sure I had the shot. The second slide, shot when I was a high school student in 1987, was an accidental double exposure that I shot on a toy camera made of plastic - called a Diana Camera. You have to manually turn the winder once you’ve clicked the shutter. I forgot to wind and I shot a second image right over top of the first one. (I still shoot with the Diana to this day ) In both cases the beauty was in the accidents. I think I should do a book of all of my double exposures, but in the meantime I’ll post my all time favorites throughout my feed. In case you haven’t noticed, I erased my instagram and started over a few weeks ago. It’s been cathartic to give myself a fresh start and to use this platform positively.

This whole portfolio has never been seen and it wa This whole portfolio has never been seen and it was a hard edit. I was invited to @savageranch to spend the day with these beautiful people. Spending the day with @loveisbailey and her friends was and remains so inspiring. Thank you Love, for welcoming me and giving me a window into your world. I’m posting this today to inspire everyone to be who you want to be, express what you want to express and to be passionate about the life that you live. Today is a great day to start being and loving who you are! Happy All Hallows’ Eve!✨
I’m feeling incredibly inspired by my past. In l I’m feeling incredibly inspired by my past. In looking through my archive, I have a renewed sense of optimism for what’s ahead in my work. Sometimes as an artist we can feel blocked creatively. I have had these blocks at many points over the last 25 years. I’ve learned to take those moments to be positive and used that time to renew and regenerate. This series was shot for @drepubblicait inspired by an exhibition I saw of Vaslav Nijinsky in 2000 at the Musée d’Orsay. #lookingbacktolookforward Visit my website to view my extensive body of work link in bio

Happy Monday! I think today is a great day to say Happy Monday! I think today is a great day to say that I had the honor of photographing one of the most beautiful women in the world, inside and out @angelinajolie One of the most outstanding and proudest accomplishments of my career ✨
In the spirit of my instagram feed fresh start I’m sharing 1 of a series that I shot of dancer/choreographer @anne.plamondon.productions Anne is the Cindy Sherman of dance. I absolutely love shooting dancers. The precision of movement with their bodies always blows my mind. I grew up doing competitive gymnastics from the age of 5-13. I aspired to be able to use my body in unconventional ways to express myself. I think that photographing dancers let’s me partake in that dream of being able to move that way and to keep that dream alive. It’s almost a euphoric feeling for me witnessing them.
