Inspired by the Paintings of Berthe Morisot VII

A few years ago, I saw the Berthe Morisot: Woman Impressionist exhibit at the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I was captivated by how Morisot portrayed women in her paintings, especially several paintings showing women in quiet private moments such as a woman putting on her stockings or sitting at her dressing table. These photographs are inspired by those quiet private moments.

I could not create this photographs without the amazing women I have worked with on it. Whether in my studio, or working remotely from their studios, every model has brought ideas and inspiration as we created the photos. Without their help, this series would just be a concept floating around in my head. Thanks to all these wonderful women, we have brought the moments in Morisot’s paintings to life.

Ivory Flame

During the pandemic, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Ivory Flame, one of my favorite models, a few times. Fortunately for photographers, models figured out how to work remotely, so when these photos were taken, I was working in my basement here in Bethesda, and Ivory Flame was posing at her home in England. Here are a few photos from my two most recent sessions with Ivory Flame.
