N¡fer. today is your day. the photographer i am highlighting today is special on more than one note. she is also a dear friend of mine, whom i use to walk around the streets of nyc, and shoot with. i am specifically drawn to her work,because she has a style i can passionately relate to. her pictures tell a story of life; her life, and the people around her. with that said, if you happen to know jennifer, then you know how invious one can be. this girl is always in on the "hip nyc crowd," and never seems to have a dull moment in her day. she's in doing her thing in manhattan, and then brooklyn, and then l.i.c. when i wanted something out of the ordinary, and at the top of the "fun charts", i always called jennifer. so, yes, she has a cool life, and yes, she photographsjust that. however, it's not just this that makes her photos stand out. for as long as i've know her, she is continuously evolving in her photo education, and loves to be experimental! shooting with a holga, a polaroid, her little rebel, etc. etc., and in varies settings/processes; long exposures, double exposures, etc. etc. on top of that, she has the "balls" you need to be a street photographer. if she sees a picture, she takes it. period. there is no hesitation. i love it. this is what establishes a true artist. you go for what you want, even if that means periods of uncomfortableness, waiting, planning, etc. these things don't matter, because you know the end result is worth the wait and more. when you look at jennifer's work, you'll see exactly what i'm talking about. another thing, is her sense for perfect composition. it's amazing. i've seen her climb things, crawl over and under things, jump up and down, run, and much more, to get the perfect shot. she is definitely one of, if not my favorite, people to shoot with (brandon and marly, you guys are right up there too. i promise). sooooo, get excited, because you're gonna love this girl's work! thank you and your art.N¡fer today is your day here.
