When I met Abby, I was immediately excited about her style. She looked like she had fallen out of the sky, straight from a 90s film. She looked as cool as I wanted to be, but could never achieve when I was in high school. When we were chatting about what she was looking for in backdrops around New Orleans she said she loved texture and patina and I knew exactly where we should go. Both Race & Religious and the Marigny Opera House ooze character and charm. They both show a weathering that happens while existing in the city and were the perfect setting for capturing Abby. These portraits were incredibly fun to create and have been inspiring to me since. I wish Abby the best as she continues her pursuits of being an artist after her graduation from NOCCA.
