New work for latest campaign, “A New York Minute” directed by and starring .

I had the opportunity to shoot the stills/BTS for the campaign and it felt incredibly special from beginning to end. Watching Celine bring New York to life in such a quiet, cinematic way was incredibly inspiring. Grateful to have been a small part of it all. 🖤
