ATHENA WILSON for L'OFFICIEL MONTE CARLO by ANDREW DAY

This past Fall in 2020, I photographed ATHENA WILSON for L’Officiel Monte Carlo wearing Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren. We were operating with a passionate team under COVID guidelines. I thought Athena had a great smile and a big personality, so it was meaningful for me to use the equipment as set elements for a hint of “movie glamour” that I though embraced her charm.

DEAWY SKINCARE LAUNCH

A New Skincare Concept and Shoot by Sarah Frankenhauser + Andrew Day

Screen Shot 2020-10-19 at 7.46.02 PM.png

The Opportunity

Amidst the height of the pandemic, Deawy Skincare reached out to myself and Creative Director, Sarah Frankenhauser to concept and create for the organic skincare brand’s introduction to the world.

Due to COVID guidelines, the production’s footprint was limited to 8 people with virtual attendance spanning from New York to Germany.

Before the shoot, Sarah and I sat down with Deawy founders Julia Ruiz and Diana Hoover to learn about their product launch. They wanted to portray their skincare in a natural way on Kadeem and Stassy, a real life couple.

“THE FOCUS IS ON THEIR NATURAL CHEMISTRY, THE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. INTERACTION WILL PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE WHILE PORTRAYING THE BRAND’S FIVE INITIAL PRODUCTS.“ - Sarah

The Concept

We followed up with a complete “concept to capture” book by Sarah, that reached from mood boards, color-scheme, backdrop planning, styling, hair and make up, references to our detailed shot list (thank you to our producer Amanda Huffman). We planned every single visual aspect in a 20 page book.

“STARTING A SHOOT WITH A CLEAR IDEA OF THE VISUAL OUTCOME AND TIMELINE COMPLETELY CHANGES THE ENVIRONMENT ON SET. IT CREATES A PROJECT THAT IS STRONG ALL THE WAY TO THE FINISH” - Andrew

NEW FACES FRIDAY - 8/28/2020

Last week I was back in the studio meeting inspiring people who are getting back to the grind in NYC. Listening to everyone’s stories and the way they have handled the last 6 months was a very therapeutic process. It’s really cool to have the chance to appreciate conversation with a real person in front of you.

I’m really trying to take this time (an opportunity, really) to develop an exchange between my subjects and me into something more meaningful. There’s parts of it that feel like I’m getting ahead. I realize this is a good chance to fight for the future.

Here’s to finding a new path forward and being determined to create with purpose.

DANICA ROGANOVIC - PORTRAITS

Actress Danica Roganovic from Montenegro is a Law school graduate dedicated to fulling promises she made to herself. The first of which, was to cross the Atlantic.

She prescribes herself to more than one category. Writer, actress, model, thinker, seeker, helper. A former volleyball player, with 14 years of ballet, national folklore and Latin-American dance experience. Her plan is to sell a script based on her own life that’s been torturing her for quite some time.

ASHIKA PRATT for SEEMA MAGAZINE

I photographed Ashika Pratt for the inaugural launch of Seema Magazine at my studio in downtown Manhattan.

“Growing up, I had a complicated relationship with my identity,” she says. “I look Indian, but when I open my mouth I have a kiwi accent.”

Now she embraces it. Saying “There’s enough room for everyone.”

HELP NEW YORKERS, GET A PIECE OF NEW YORK IN RETURN...

Family & Friends, 

Hope you and your loved ones are staying safe!
As we continue to practice social distancing I want to connect and share an initiative I'm leading to provide support during this time.


I am launching a COVID-19 fundraising campaign for NYU Langone Hospital to give back to the beautiful city of New York.

Fine Art Prints

  • Prints of my curated images are available in 5" x 7" and 8" x 10" to be shipped to your home.

  • 20% of profits will be donated to New York City’s NYU Langone Hospital’s COVID-19 relief efforts. My goal is to fundraise $5,000 or more.

By investing in the work of the city I love the most, you will be supporting COVID-19 relief efforts and receive a piece of New York to grace the wall of your home in return.


See below to view the gallery of images available. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for your support, 

Andrew
