When I first moved to New York, I was interning at a photo studio, when I was asked to take the garbage out of a studio where a shoot was going on. I was happy to do it b/c I’d been on my hands and knees with a bucket and a rag washing radiators all day. I’d rarely been in a studio when a shoot was going on, so it was an even bigger treat to see what it was really like to be on set. That’s when I saw Eddie Redmayne being photographed by one of my favorite photographers, at the time. As an artist whose work is centered around movement and abstraction, it was so inspiring to see someone so free in his movement and intuitively committed to the process of that expression, without embarrassment or shyness - even while there are 30 people staring at you. I said to myself, “I’m going to photograph him one day.” And over 10 years later, now I have. Creating with Eddie was a dream come true. Even though we had very little time, I really appreciate that Eddie was so willing and trusting of my process, even though it can be a bit unorthodox. His willingness is reflected in the work.
