Over the years I have worked creatively with artist Gregory Kahofer on a number of interesting projects. The first was crafting a crin cyberlox wig for him to use as a prop in his photography. I was always a fan of Kahofer's creations and well as him as a person. When he heard I started modeling, it wasn't long before we worked together. I pose for fine art, private commissions, open studios, and art classes. Art modeling is a completely different world than that of photography modeling. I always jump at an opportunity to work with Kahofer and was thrilled that he wanted to use me in his art. The first time I posed for him, I was very nervous in front of the camera. Like I said, it is completely different from posing for fine art and that is where my experience is.
In August 2012 Kahofer was visiting New Jersey for just a few days and wanted to make some art. I came up with two locations that I thought he would like. We packed a bunch of costumes (and about a million accessories) into my car and started our adventure. These photos are from the Paulinskill Viaduct. If you are unfamiliar with this structure, it is an abandoned train bridge that was once part of the Lackawanna cutoff railroad, which opened in 1911.
Kahofer's early work was intended to be printed as poster sized images. It has since evolved into may different forms. Most of these images are heavily edited. This is not the end point of what they will become. These images were sent to me as is for my portfolio. It would be impossible and unfair for me to try to explain Kahofer's idea for his work so I will leave you with links to videos of his. The images are edited numerous times to almost animate them with color changes and transitions. I am excited to see what my images become.
