Suit to swim
11.16.11
Back in June, I shot the editorial campaign for NYCKED a swimwear line created by Lorenzo Martone and Jules Kim. Thank you to The Vanguarde Craft & Creative for reaching out to me about this project and trusted me enough to let me photograph the beautiful Dierdre Reimold. It was an amazing day I can still remember exactly how happy I felt, it was the height of summer. What a great experience! Not mentioning all the amazing swimsuits.
Since NYCKED is a very New York brand, I figured what could me more iconic in New York than it's public transportation — the subway! So we had to guerilla style it, and shot on the train as we made our way down to Coney Island. Well Dierdre portrays a girl on her day trip taking the train down to the beach and we just happen to catch her as we're heading towards the same destination. She's all decked out in swimsuits, or rather she's suited to swim.
