It was 2020. Peak lockdown.

In keeping with protocols, I gave Wade my lights and directed him via speakerphone on where to put them, how I wanted them angled, etc. Then, I photographed him entirely through his windows, speakerphone just out of frame.

We created a handful of different vignettes together: him standing masked in his living room, brushing his teeth and yelling at the mirror through his upstairs bathroom window, having cereal and reading Korman while sitting - disheveled - at his table, and, of course, this one that we’ll call…formal dinner.

All a series of the descent into madness that this isolation was bringing on. Groundhog’s Day, but make it pandemic.

Have weird friends. It makes things way more fun.

The Americans |

A new series of mine exploring America’s relationship with work, place, and identity. I’ve photographed 146 people in the last two months and hope to reach several hundred more before the year’s end.

It is a heavy series, but a beautiful one. These portraits are often confrontations; more often contradictions. There’s tension between the simple captions and the complex humans inhabiting the frames.

These aren’t just portraits—the series itself is slowly becoming a portrait of America.

Follow to keep up with the fascinating people I meet along the way.

Fashion editorial with .munn for | An homage to Peter Lindbergh. When I look at a lot of his work, I get the sense that the subjects are just out of earshot - not from any amount of distance, but from the sounds of the wind and the ocean breaking on the shore nearby. There’s a solitude in that sea of white noise that transcends any particular styling or monochrome treatment; it’s what makes his (and hopefully these) images feel so calming.

It’s been six months since we left on our sabbatical, and I’m just now ready to start looking at the images. People are still asking me how the trip was and there’s just no concise way to answer that. It was too many things to bother putting into words, so I hope photographs will be adequate.

This is September 5, 2024. Day 7 of 57 - Sitka, Alaska. We’d been to Sitka before, but it felt brand new again. Absolutely breathtaking scenery surrounding a town that feels as remote as it is. The third image is why this trip was so incredible.

Swipe to the end for a Coast Guard rescue we happened upon (training, I hope - that water was frigid).

Friends and Other Strangers | Kevin Gomes

Maybe five people that will see this actually know Kevin, and I count myself, my wife, and his wife among them. The rest of you are missing out. He’s the rare type of intellectual that goes out of his way to make sure everyone around is included in the conversation, whether it’s the kids he works with or me pretending to know more about politics than I actually do. He’s the embodiment of Ted Lasso’s “Be curious, not judgmental”, and I don’t think he’s even seen the show.

He also overcomplicates things to the point that our friend group calls it “Gomesifying” when things get unnecessarily complex. It usually stems from an effort to make things equitable, which is etched somewhere deep in his core.

If you run into him, give him a bottle of Nando’s sauce so that his place is stocked next time I visit him in DC.

(Tagging his wife because, of course, Kevin doesn’t have Instagram. Who has time for that?)

Jon Garrelts/American Movers for

I only had one thought when this assignment came in: we’re turning that truck into a portrait studio. The wide pullback shot was burned into my brain instantly; I didn’t care what else we got from the shoot as long as I could get that image out of my head and in print. It’s one of my favorites of 2024!

My MO on editorial shoots is to go in with a plan, then leave room to play. Jon was a champ for both. It was blazing hot (July 31) and that truck was an oven, but I’d do it all again in a second.
