Nick Wooster, Superhero in Disguise?

Nick Wooster, NYC, April 2012

The only title I can think of when I see this photo is "Able to Leap Small Buildings" :)   Nick Wooster projects the image of badass quite naturally, but he is from my experience very thoughtful and kind.   This was the second time I have photographed Mr. Wooster for Park and Bond, and this time I distinctly saw what a superhero character he is.  He walks down the street with purpose and intensity, like he has a invisible cape on.  Good guy, a true original.  

Not a dandy portrait, of course, but a little post in the meantime.

Alan Flusser and his Go To Hell pants

Alan Flusser at his Custom Shop, shot for Gilt MANual's story on the GTH pants.  I went up and met The Trad, and we had a great time moving things about and cajoling Mr. Flusser to pose.   Flusser is the author of many style books, most recently Style and the Man, and is a designer of custom menswear.   I was thrilled to meet such an iconic figure in the menswear world!

Gay Talese and His Pocket Puffs

These portraits and details were shot on assignment for Gilt MANual at the home of Gay Talese, the legendary writer and well dressed gentleman.  He wrote a piece on the glory of pocket squares, or "puffs", and my images accompany his words, which is a great honor.   Check out the full article and see a slideshow of how Mr. Talese keeps his pocket squares coordinated with his suits!
