| The main piece of Nightlife mural (above) was printed with Vutex Inkjet on vinyl canvas. There are also ten additional portraits that segregate the scene into smaller habitats. All models were photographed with strobe lighting in front of gray seamless background using a Lite Phase digital camera back on Hasselblad camera.
Thanks to digital technology, I was able to photograph each model separately in studio. I could also rearrange the furniture, while selecting the exterior from a Soho restaurant as the background. Special thanks to Noga Ariel, an acting student in New York City. She volunteered to be the first model for this project. Besides bringing herself, she also brought in her acting friends Sansan Fibri, Philip Jackson and her roommate, Tanya Goldberg, a tattoo artist who became a strong character in the series. |
