Nettie in NOLA
It was June of 2014 when I made the three hour drive to New Orleans to shoot with Nettie. For whatever reason, I always had the perception that she was sort of the Kate Moss of the art model circuit. I understand this could just be me though.
I try and tap into the vibe/mood to dictate the shoot. This one was very lethargic feeling (in a good way). A lot of this was probably influenced by the fact that we had been walking around the city all evening and didn't get back to the hotel till a little before 1:00am to start taking photos. In addition to the physical drain I'm sure there was an emotional toll as we shared stories of growing up in big religious families to having children that passed away.
I personally think all this comes through in the pictures. Again, I could be imposing this, but I’m cool with that.
The first three photos were edited within the month after the shoot. The last four were edited a few weeks back when I decided to redo some of the photos.
