I’ve been lucky to have many great assistants and last night Samantha Contis, my first assistant when I opened Danziger Projects, and Julia Baum, my current assistant, presented an irresistible photo-op. The occasion was the opening of the Yale MFA Photography 2008 exhibition at Danziger Projects. If you want to see what the nine graduates of what is generally considered the top photography MFA program in the country are up to, the show runs through this Saturday.
The other thing that Samantha and Julia have in common is that both have extremely good websites. Samantha’s features a range of her work which is both pastoral and cinematic. She’s terrific at landscape and with skin and given any opportunity to combine the two she’s off to the races!
Julia’s website features an ever growing body of work on redheads, shot in a luminous outdoor studio she has found for the project. Any genuine redheads living in or passing through New York and wanting to be photographed for the project should contact her via the site.
