JP Wedding Photography

We’re jumping into the winter. For me that means a few months off from shooting weddings, but I definitely haven’t put my camera down! I want to keep you guys posted on what I’m up to in the meantime.

This Friday I’m showing pictures for a benefit and party to support my dear friend Robin Cantrell and her dance company. They’re putting on a show here in Brooklyn at the beginning of the year, and she asked me to do a photoshoot with her as a fundraiser to pay the dancers and msucians.

I had recently come across an old Paris Review with a bunch of Robert Mapplethorpe diptychs of portraits of people and flowers. That got me thinking that it would be fun to collaborate with the dancers and ask them to interpret different inanimate objects. Initially, Robin and I were playing with the idea, and we thought it would be fun to find a whole bunch of branches that they could imitate. But while I was wandering around McCaren park, I found some other things that I thought would be a fun challenge for the dancers to interpret.

To make a long story short, the result was “Dancers + Garbage”. Here’s a copy of the flier and a few sample images. If anyone’s free on Friday, I’d love to see you there!
