Okay first of all, I am in love with Lauren Dukoff's work... like she may be my new favorite photographer. Possibly because of all the black and white. The simplicity of just a
singular person in black in white is just just so cool to me. Dukoff
takes portraits of people, mostly famous musicians/actors, in their so-called "natural habitats". Her
pictures are intimate in a way and allow the viewer to feel closer to
whomever is in the photo whether you know them or not.
I couldn't choose just one photo... so I chose one person: Devendra Banhart. I had heard of him a few times but never really knew who he was and I researched him and his story in itself is kind of interesting and to see him in these incredible photos made me look into him even more. He is actually really good friends with Dukoff and wrote a forward/introduction in one of her photography books. The black and white adds a sort of depth to the photo and in these images, part of Banhart's personality comes out which makes me appreciate both Banhart and Dukoff.
